## Description

The Sidebars & Widgets extension for the Debug Bar shows you all you need to know
about the sidebars and widgets on the current page. It shows the sidebars displayed
and the widgets displayed in them, and tells you whether all widgets in the sidebar
were actually displayed.

This plugin allows you to analyze the behaviour of your WordPress sidebars and wigets,
and is aimed at WordPress developers.

> This plugin is an extension to the [Debug Bar plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/debug-bar/),
> which is required for this plugin to work.

This plugin integrates nicely with [Content Aware Sidebars](https://wordpress.org/plugins/content-aware-sidebars/),
telling you what sidebars were replaced and merged. It is an essential plugin if
you use Content Aware Sidebars with a big number of sidebars.

## Installation

For automatic installation, all you have to do is install and activate the plugin
from the Plugins screen in your WordPress admin panel!
