Sideloading a Widget Package

IMPORTANT

This is for sideloading a Widget Package which can be dangerous when installing a 3rd party package which could contain malware or other threats! Other options for installing a Widget Package are currently not possible - Beta will come with closed Marketplace for BeXCool widgets only.

We recommend you to only install packages that are listed here on our documentation or packages that a BeXCool staff member sent you. You can check for a valid staff member by looking at our role which is called BeXCool TEAM.

Here you'll learn how to sideload a widget package. Widget package is an archive with a .wpkg extension.

1. Skip to to number 3 if you already have developer tools enabled.
2. Open settings and navigate to the Advanced tab. Enable the Show developer tools menu.

3. Navigate to the Developer tools, click Sideload a package and select your Widget Package file with a .wpkg extension. Then click Import.
