All user role widget areas can be displayed in <strong>any</strong> existing sidebar or widget area within your theme.</p>
<h3>Plugin Features</h3>

<li>The ability to hard code the script into your theme that displays the widget areas on the front end.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Important Information</h3>

This functionality is needed for the Dokan Seller to also manage his or her products.</p>
