Beskriuwing
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).

Ynstallaasje

widgets-on-pagesand all its contents to the/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- Add the widgets you want to the
Widgets on Pageswidget area in the admin screens - Add the shortcut
[widgets_on_pages id=x]to the page or post in the place where you’d like your widgets to appear (where ‘x’ = the id of the sidebar to use (or the name if you have named it such as[widgets_on_pages id=TagCloud]). If using only the default sidebar then no ‘id’ argument is needed (i.e.[widgets_on_pages]). - To add a sidebar into a theme you can add the following type of code to the relevant PHP theme file.
<?php widgets_on_template("wop_1"); ?> - If you see bullet points/images next to the widget titles when using this plugin use the ‘Enable Styling’ setting in the options page

FAQ
-
How can I remove the bullet points which appear next to each widget?
-
Simply select the ‘Enable Styling’ setting in the Widgets on Pages options page.
-
I did the above but the bullets still show, what now
-
Your theme’s CSS is probably overriding your setting… you could try using your browsers *inspect element” function to see what part of the CSS is setting the list-style.
-
Yes… you can have an unlimited number of sidebars defined. The number available can be administered via the settings menu.
-
What widgets are supported?
-
All of them. Yup, We’ve not come across a single non-working one yet.
-
This is a new feature, and is handled differently for various themes. Although tested with a variety of different ones I’m aware that this might not work straight out the box for all users. Please post a support ticket and I’ll look into it.
