Some people would want to execute PHP codes in WordPress’ default text widget but this is not possible since it does not support such a task. There are, however, a number of plugins available that you can use to do this.

But thanks to Marvie Pons of TriptripperTips who shared this helpful snippet of code, you won’t have to install and use any plugins anymore. Just copy/paste and add the code below into your functions.php file.

add_filter('widget_text','execute_php',100);
function execute_php($html){
 if(strpos($html,"<"."?php")!==false){
 ob_start();
 eval("?".">".$html);
 $html=ob_get_contents();
 ob_end_clean();
 }
 return $html;
}

What the code does is turn the default Text widget into a PHP-enabled widget. Once you’ve edited and saved your functions.php file, you’re done!
