Widgets are little blocks that are designed to provide structure and design uniformity, as well as user interaction, and they have many different functions. For example, you could add a calendar, search bar, or category drop down menu to your site.
This is the video. Below are the written steps.
Hover over the Appearances
To view your options, hover over the “Appearances” tab on the side navigation bar, and click on “widgets”.
Available widgets
There you will see a column of available widgets and their descriptions.

Next, you must activate the widget. To do so, drag your desired choice from the left column over to one of the available sidebars.
Edit options
To edit the options for any of your chosen blocks, click on the drop-down arrow. Then click “Save”.
Choose Layout
Next, go to whichever page you want the widget to appear on, and scroll down to the bottom where you will see a box labeled “Theme Options”. There you can click on the drop-down menu for “Choose Layout” and pick which sidebar you want and in what format.

Choosing “Primary Sidebar – Content” will place the sidebar on the left of the page with the content to the right of it. While the next option does the opposite.
