<p>Blog-in-Blog allows you to use the WordPress platform for it’s CMS features, but still have a blog page on your site. Posts selected by category, post_type, tag or any combination thereof, can be used to feed the ‘special’ blog page, and can optionally be hidden from the home page.<br />
You can have more than one category hidden from the homepage (not post_types or tags).</p>
<p>You can also use this plugin to show posts on the same page from different categories, post_types or tags, but in several different blocks and using different layout templates.</p>
<p>If you find this plugin useful (especially if it gets you out of a fix in a commercial setting), please feel free to leave feedback via the donate button.</p>
<p>I am grateful for those people who have already bought me a beer 🙂</p>
<p><em>Important:</em> In previous versions of the Blog-in-Blog plugin you might have edited bib_post_template.tpl. If you are upgrading, we will copy this to a textbox so you can edit the template from the plugin page. The bib_post_template.pl file is no longer used and may vanish in a future release.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.dfactory.eu/plugins/restrict-widgets/" rel="nofollow ugc">Restrict Widgets</a> is all in one solution for widget management in WordPress. It lets you easily control the pages that each widget will appear on and avoid creating multiple sidebars and duplicating widgets. You can also set who can manage widgets, which sidebars and widgets will be available to selected users, which widget options will be available and how it will be displayed.</p>
<p>By default, Hide widget on selected is enabled with no options selected, so all current widgets will continue to display on all pages.</p>
