This plugin lets you click a widget, and then choose where it should be placed. Simple. Easy. Note: This plugin assumes you have [MP6](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mp6/) installed and activated. Without MP6, things may look wonky. ## Installation Install this plugin just like any normal WordPress plugin, by dropping the folder into your wp-content/plugins/ folder. Once you activate the plugin, just click on a widget and a dialog will display asking you where you’d like to place your widget. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c236e945c15b378371da7220c8435e2ff4d8b3536a8c80c36c73986eb05b9aca? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very nice](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-nice-829/)󠁿 [dedalik](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dedalik/) 07 Fevrer 2017 Thank you for this great plugin!

Adding a widget now scrolls the page up to the sidebar to make sure its in view. #### 0.3 Replaced the select with a list of sidebars. Cleaned up the javascript and squashed a few bugs with the help of the great azaozz. Now, when you choose a sidebar, it will open and highlight the new widget. #### 0.2 You can add widgets to open widget areas, and it should save. Otherwise, you’re out of luck. #### 0.1 Starting development with a concept UI. Nothing actually works, yet. ## Meta * Version **0.4** * Last updated **13 years ago** * Active installations **10+** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-area-chooser/) * Tag * [widgets](https://lmo.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/widgets/) * [Advanced View](https://lmo.wordpress.org/plugins/widget-area-chooser/advanced/) ## Ratings 5 out of 5 stars. * [ 5 5-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/widget-area-chooser/reviews/?filter=5) * [ 0 4-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/widget-area-chooser/reviews/?filter=4) * [ 0 3-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/widget-area-chooser/reviews/?filter=3) * [ 0 2-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/widget-area-chooser/reviews/?filter=2) * [ 0 1-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/widget-area-chooser/reviews/?filter=1) [Your review](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/widget-area-chooser/reviews/#new-post) [See all reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/widget-area-chooser/reviews/) ## Contributors * [ shaunandrews ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/shaunandrews/) ## Support Got something to say?
