Custom Widget Areas

Custom Widget Areas for WordPress

Have you ever wanted to show different Widgets on Pages or Posts or even inside your content?

The plugin lets you create an unlimited number of Sidebars (Custom Widget Areas), easily lets you configure them by adding widgets, and then place them directly inside the content of Pages and Posts by simply using Shortcodes. We have also added support for Custom Post Types and Custom Taxonomies.

It recognizes your themes default sidebars and allows you to replace them, as well as allowing you to set individual sidebars for each Page, Post, and Category.

You can try the all the shortcodes your self.  We encourage to test it before you decide to buy it.
