<p><strong>XWidgets lets you choose your widget layouts and settings for each individual page and post, instead of only having one layout applied to the whole site!</strong>  For example, you could have a Twitter feed in your website’s sidebar, but have your ‘about me’ page also display Flickr/Last.FM widgets in that page’s sidebar, with a completely different widget layout from the rest of your site — or you could have each page of your site pull in a different Google News feed via RSS — or you could add a poll to the sidebar of a specific post, without changing any others.</p>
<p>This plugin was developed alongside the PBox plugin. Using the two together greatly simplifies CMS-like layouts and functionality.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Choose widget settings from each indivdual page/post edit screen.</li>
<li>Pages can inherit widgets from their parent.</li>
<li>Pages/posts without widgets can use the global widgets (or if you prefer, none at all).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Tips</h4>
<ul>
<li>Use the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pbox/" rel="ugc">PBox</a> plugin to add highly customizable content widgets to your page sidebars.</li>
<li>Visit <a href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/11/25/advanced-power-tips-for-wordpress-template-developers/" rel="nofollow ugc">Smashing Magazine – Advanced Power Tips For WordPress Template Developers</a> for ideas about Multiple Column Content Techniques.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Future Plans</h4>
<ul>
<li>Add widgets to taxonomies (Categories, Tags…)</li>
<li>Improve support for customized post types.</li>
</ul>
