Defines sidebar areas in <code>wp_head</code>, <code>wp_footer</code>, <code>admin_head</code> and <code>admin_footer</code>. You may extend the list.
Additionally, the plugin creates a new widget, called Unfiltered Text. Very similar to the regular text widget, but it doesn’t insert any extra markup.

Magic Widgets

If you have ever needed to accommodate a client’s request to have separate widget areas for many sections of the site, you understand the need for this plugin.
This plugin alleviates the pain of having many sidebar widget areas by hiding all but one (that is selectable via a dropdown). Gone are the days of trying to drag a new widget from the left column to a widget area at the bottom of the right column (ugh!).
There is no configuration for this plugin.
