<p>The floating widgets plugin makes it easy to add a widgetized area right above or beside your main content regardless of which theme you are using. You can have full control of where and how your widgets are displayed without having to edit your theme at all.</p>
<p>Position of the widget area – currently floating widgets can only be injected right before the “content” section of your site and can be set to “float” right or left so your content wraps around them. Future versions will make it possible to dynamically add widget areas to other sections of the page.</p>

<p>Widget Importer & Exporter is useful for moving widgets from one WordPress site to another, backing up widgets and for theme developers to give users sample widgets. See the <a href="https://churchthemes.com/plugins/widget-importer-exporter/" rel="nofollow ugc">details</a> on ChurchThemes.com.</p>
<h4>Importing</h4>
<p>Importing is done by uploading an export file created by the plugin. The results of an import are shown in a nicely formatted table with an explanation of what happened with each widget area and widget.</p>
<p>Importation takes into consideration widget areas not existing in the current theme (widgets imported as <em>Inactive</em>), widgets that already exist in the same widget area (widgets not duplicated) and widgets that are not supported by the site (widgets not imported).</p>
<h4>Exporting</h4>
<p>Widget Importer & Exporter can create an export file (in JSON format with .wie extension) out of currently active widgets. This file can be imported into other sites using this plugin or used to restore widgets to the same site later.</p>
<h4>Developers</h4>
<p>The <code>wie_before_import</code> action fires after a file is uploaded but before the data is imported. <code>wie_after_import</code> fires after the data is imported. The <code>wie_import_data</code> filter can be used to filter data before it is imported. Other filters are used throughout. Make a pull request on GitHub if you need another hook.</p>

Widget Importer & Exporter

The plugin did what it described - super-easy and quick to use. It even transferred the custom "Conditional Widgets" settings that I had for a few of the widgets.

Well done, mate!
