The Monster widget consolidates all 13 core widgets into a single widget enabling theme developers to create multiple instances with ease. It has been created to save time during theme development and review by minimizing the steps needed to populate a sidebar with widgets. The Monster widget is not designed for use in production.

What Template Am I Using

I dearly love this plugin. It's such a relief to know if you're using the right template file or not. One of my favorite plugins by far.
