This plugin implements 2 new shortcodes.
[widget name=”” classname=” instance=””] to use a widget per shortcode in the content area from a page/post.
name is the name of the widget, e.g. Calendar. 
classname is the name of the PHP Class that implement the widget. 
You can use name or classname.
So are [widget name=”Kalender” instance=”title=Hello,World!”] 
and [widget classname=”WP_Widget_Calendar” instance=”title=Hello,World!”] 
produce the same output.
instance are the attributs of the widget. e.g. title=Hello,World! so the complete shortcode is 
[widget name=”Calendar” instance=”title=Hello,World!”]
For the instance list of the WordPress builtin Widgets look at https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_widget 
For other Widgets look at the source code from the widget or ask the widget author.
[sidebar name=””] to use a sidebar (with all widgets) in the content area from a page/post.
name is the name of the sidebar e.g. Showcase Sidebar so the complete shortcode is 
[sidebar name=”Showcase Sidebar”]
For own css styling, the plugin wraps the widgets in < div id=”Widget_Name” class=”widget_shortcode”> and the sidebar in < div id=”Sidebar_Name” class=”sidebar_shortcode”>

Page Specific Sidebars adds a checkbox to every page allowing you to choose which pages should have a unique sidebar.
Once you enable a page-specific sidebar in the page editor, a widget area will automatically be created for that page and you can customize it as you like.
You can also specify whether the plugin replaces your generic sidebar with the page-specific sidebar, or simply adds your page-specific sidebar on to the existing sidebar.
<h3>Notes</h3>
Plugin has no built-in styling does not contain native styles; it’s meant to use the styles of your existing theme.
This is a minimal plugin, placing function over form. If you would like to extend it, or would like us to extend it in later versions, feel free to <a href="http://www.ivycat.com/contact/" rel="nofollow ugc">contact us</a>, or post feedback in this plugin’s <a href="" rel="nofollow ugc">support forum</a>.
<h3>Usage</h3>
Simply activate and go. There are a couple filters for customization:
<pre><code>$location = apply_filters( 'page_sidebar_location', 'side' );

$priority = apply_filters( 'page_sidebar_priority', 'high' );
</code></pre>
These allow you to change the location and priority of the metabox on the “Edit Page” view.
<pre><code>$home_slug = apply_filters( 'page-sidebar-homeslug', $home_slug )
</code></pre>
Use this filter if your home page slug is different from “home” :
NOTE: Any page that has a custom loop pulling in multiple posts will throw this plugin off. For some reason it always outputs the post ID as the last 
post output on the page. Also, the homepage is most likely the latest blog posts in WordPress so I created a check. It will get the Home page ID and 
use the Home page ID to get its sidebar. (uses is_frontpage() ) to check.
