Virtual Sidebar

Virtual Sidebar is a plugin by Christina Louise Warne (aka. AthenaOfDelphi). It is designed to allow users to include widgets in post content by way of ‘virtual’ sidebars. Each virtual sidebar can have widgets added to it using the widget manager and can then be included in a post using the short code [vs id=””].
