Widgets Area Chooser

Dragging and dropping widgets into sidebars can be tricky. This plugin lets you click a widget, and then choose where it should be placed. Simple. Easy.

Note: This plugin assumes you have MP6 installed and activated. Without MP6, things may look wonky.

Install this plugin just like any normal WordPress plugin, by dropping the folder into your wp-content/plugins/ folder. Once you activate the plugin, just click on a widget and a dialog will display asking you where you’d like to place your widget.
