# Widgets in sidebars problem

 * My WP uses 3 sidebars – home, post and page sidebars.
 * All sidebars files have \\\<?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !
   dynamic_sidebar(‘Home or Post or Page Sidebar’) ) : ?> <?php endif; ?>\\\
 * When I add a widget to the home sidebar it becomes not available to add for the
   other 2 sidebars.
 * Any suggestions for a fix is appreciated.

 * It deoends upon which widget you’re trying to re-use. Some widgets (such as the
   Text widget) can be re-used multiple times on the same blog. Others (such as 
   the Pages widget) can only be used **once** on a blog.

 * You can also try out the Widgets Reloaded plugin, which will allow you to use
   most of them multiple times:
