Plugin Description
Widgets are normally displayed as part of a sidebar using the dynamic_sidebar()
function. There is the_widget function for static widgets, but there is no
equivalent for specific widgets configured in the Appearance > Widgets area.
The Widget Instance plugin allows WordPress users of all abilities to display
these widgets outside of the sidebars they have been assigned to.

- A wysiwyg editor button for selecting available widgets,
- A shortcode [widget_instance id=”[widget_id]”],
