I just used the ID from the register_sidebar() in the functions.php file and it worked perfectly. I tried using Widgetize Pages before, but then the widgets didn’t have any permanent ID’s so this plugin was much better! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b9ccfa81ba51c8cec6e4e654eee3d1a477c083ab42e06d2425fcb6ce64d7f817? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Cool](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cool-523/)󠁿 [televizor](https://profiles.wordpress.org/televizor/) February 7, 2017 Just what was needed.
