From the developer
matthewordie's own description of Buckets, lightly tidied.
This plugin is designed as a widgets alternative. However it’s uses can be expanded beyond that. It works ok on it’s own, but really flys when paired with the Advanced Custom Fields plugin.
I was tired of my widgets not migrating properly. On top of not having full control over simple things. So I built this.
Now you can make a reusable piece of content. Place it right in the middle of another content area. Or even inside another bucket. Additionally you can use the Advanced Custom Fields plugin to create your own sidebars and add new fields to really customize your Buckets.
You can even create a fully modular site using sidebar areas and just throwing buckets in everywhere!
This plugin is made for developers who like to make their client’s lives easier (and in turn, their own).
