 * Hello,
 * I’ve been testing out Section Widget and I came across a problem (for me) that
   I dont know if it’s possible to get around.
 * If I start using Section Widget and have different things showing up on different
   pages, how do I add widgets from other plugins? (is it possible?) Say I’d like
   to have a tag cloud just on the category page or something similar.
 * Thanks,
    Steph

 * Hi Steph,
 * The first part of your question has been answered several times – we deliberately
   avoided the “widgets within widget” approach because we find it very difficult
   to manage (you can use “Tabbed Widget” for that if you REALLY want to).
 * HOWEVER, rescue is here 😉 You can actually accomplish a lot of things by just
   using shortcodes. For example, if you need a tag cloud in your section widget,
   simply install the Template Tag Shortcodes plugin and put “[wp_tag_cloud]” inside
   your widget! You can check out our other examples and suggestions in the Screenshots
   and FAQ page.
