From the developer
toddhalfpenny's own description of Widgets on Pages, lightly tidied.
The easiest, and highest rated way to Add Widgets to Posts and/or Pages. Create unlimited dynamic sidebars (widget areas) and insert these into a WordPress post or page.
Create as many widget areas (Turbo Sidebars) from the settings menu, and these can be used multiple times.
Each sidebar can be called independently by a shortcode, and you can call more than one per post/page.
Sidebars can be included in the post/page by using a shortcode like the following, where x is the name of the sidebar.
[widgets_on_pages id=x]
With the PRO version the widgets can be inserted simply with clicks-not-code using a wizard in the visual editor. This version also includes layout options to easily set the widgets in columns/grid presentation.
Pro version also supports the configurable option to automatically add widgets to all your posts and/or pages. Choose the layout options and whether to add the sidebar and widgets before or after the content. Ideal for adding lists of related posts to the end of every post. Each post and page can also be individually excluded from the auto-inclsion of the widgets.
Pro version key features
* Responsive Horizontal/Column/Grid layout
* Auto insert in Header, Content, or Footer
* Priority Support
Basic In-Content Instructions
- Create a Turbo Sidebar, these are your special widget containers
- Add widgets to the Turbo Sidebar in the same way as you do for normal sidebars
- If using the visual editor use the Add Turbo Sidebar button to add the Shortcode into your post or page where you’d like it to appear.
The sidebars can also be added to any theme, using template tags. This is an ace way to add widgets/sidebars to a theme’s header and footer (or any other part of a theme).
