This widget is a dream come true for me. Being able to reliably create custom locations
for widgets, is great. Being able to do the same with MENUS, for me is a game-changer.
Thanks so much to Kishor Khambu!!

### 󠀁[Great plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-14786/)󠁿

Wow! Thank you for this awesome plugin! It does everything you said it would do —
which is precisely what I’ve hoped to have for a very long time. BTW: I tried it
to place the WP RSS widget in the middle of a page and it worked like a charm. I’m
using WP Version 4.8.1

 [Hans Konings](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kamawp/) August 1, 2017

Totally happy with this plugin. Does exactly what I was looking for. I was able 
to create a widget on my photo blog for showing ‘recently viewed photos’. Needs 
a little studying before you get it to work, but the Help tab is a great…, eh…, 
help.
