Widget Shortcode sounds very trivial, but if used correctly can be a really useful editorial tool for WordPress admins.
The plugin works by showing a shortcode for each of the site's widgets. To see this shortcode, go to the Widgets panel and open a widget. The shortcode to embed that widget's output is shown at the bottom.
By taking and copy-pasting this code to any post or page, the widget can be outputted inside its content as well.
Widget Shortcode is ideal for embedding widgets with site's that don't use sidebars, or in page templates where the sidebar is not activated.
Installation:
Unpack and upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
Tip: If you want to use specific widgets on a per-page basis but don't want them to appear on the sidebar or anywhere else on the site, create a sidebar which you don't use anywhere in your templates (invisible sidebar), place all the widgets you want to use there. This way you get the shortcodes for the widgets in various configuration modes without having 10, 20, 30 or more widgets appear anywhere on the site.
