Ever had a widget get stuck in a particular sidebar or widget area? Are your widgets missing when you switch themes?
This plugin will remove all widgets, setting everything back to the factory settings.

Widgets Reset

Allows you to reset all of your widgets, wiping the slate completely clean.

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”>
