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”>

NOTE: This plugin requires Theme Blvd framework v2.2.1+
In a nutshell, this plugin provides that infamous “Unlimited Sidebars” feature all the cool kids are asking for with your Theme Blvd theme.
When using a Theme Blvd theme, this plugin will allow to create custom widget areas for any of your theme’s specific widget area locations. Custom widget areas can be created for specific locations and then assigned to pages throughout your website. Additionally, custom widget areas can be left as “floating” (i.e. no location) and then be inserted within dynamic areas such as elements of the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/theme-blvd-layout-builder" rel="ugc">Layout Builder</a>, for example.
Custom widget areas have two attributes to understand when being setup.
<ol>
<li>Location: The location is where the widget area is on the page. Examples would be Right Sidebar, Left Sidebar, Ads Above Content, etc.</li>
<li>Assignments: The assignments are where a particular custom widget area will then be displayed on your website. The assignments can be specific pages, posts, archives, and various other pre-set WordPress conditionals. Additionally, advanced users can input their own custom <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags" rel="nofollow ugc">conditional statements</a> within their widget area assignments.</li>
</ol>
NOTE: For this plugin to do anything, you must have a theme with Theme Blvd framework v2.2+ activated.
