+ This simple 'utility' plugin allows one to have any widget used in a page shortcode in any theme - no need to use the hybrid theme or create a special template. You could use the query posts widget in the page to create a archive within a page, or the rss widget to list feed content from other sites. For more details see [anmari.com](http://webdesign.anmari.com/category/plugins/shortcode-any-widget/)

+ 1. Test chosen widget works in normal sidebar first.
12
+ 2. Activate this plugin
13
+ 3. Go to Appearance > widgets and find "shortcode" sidebar
14
+ 4. Drag chosen widgets from configured sidebar to shortcodes sidebar. Save.
15
+ 5. Go to page where you want configured widget to appear
16
+ 6. enter one of:
17
+ [do_widget widgetname] eg: [do_widget calendar]
18
+ [do_widget "widget name"]. eg: [do_widget "tag cloud"]
19
+ [do_widget id=widgetid] in a page or post
20
+ 7. If the plugin cannot work out what you want, it will show a debug prompt
21
+ , click on the debug prompt and look for the id of your widget in the shortcodes sidebar (you may have to scroll through a lot of debug nfo). Try with the id. Sometimes the widget name that wordpress calls it internally is not the same as what you see on the screen and you willneed the 'debug' to find the id.
22
+
23
+ Plugin has been tested with most standard widgets (rss feeds, tag cloud, pages, meta, search, and of course my own plugins widgets - upcoming events list, calendar and user lists.
24
+
25
+ If you use a widget more than once for different reasons, you may need to use the widget id to isolate which widget instance and it's settings to use. ie: [do_widget id=categories-6] . If you just use the name, it will display all widgets in the shortcode sidebar with that name (all instances).
