<p>In the multisite context, creating widgets that are used throughout all of the sites in a network can be difficult and painstaking (at best).<br />
This plugin gives network administrators the ability to create “fallback widgets” that will be used as the default unless over-ridden by individual sites.</p>
<p>How the plugin works</p>
<ul>
<li>When a widget is created on the “main site” (e.g. site ID 1) the output is cached.</li>
<li>When a sites other than the “main site” (e.g. site ID != 1) call a sidebar that doesn’t have any active widgets, the cached output from the main site will be used.</li>
<li>The plugin may not (read as “probably won’t”) work with highly dynamic widgets</li>
<li>This is the initial release, so please try it out before you use it in a live site.</li>
</ul>


Network Sidebar Widgets

Enables Multisite Networks to create "fallback" widgets that can be used across-network when sites don't have any widgets.
