    I want to display three different widgets only on my index page in 3 separate columns, outside the scope of any defined regions like “index-insert”, “index-top”, etc.

    Is it possible?

    Thanks!

    Anything work like:

    get_sidebar('index-insert');

    But can return an exact instance that is already defined and then either return it as a string or echo it out?

    Pretty please?

    For anyone that may find this in google and also find it useful.

    Ok, so after RTFM’ing here is the solution:

    <?php
register_sidebar(array(
'name' => 'the_void_that_is_wordpress_forums',
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '<h3>',
'after_title' => '&lt/h3>'
));
?>

    After you create a new “widget area” or sidebar, you should be able to drag-drop whatever widget you want into it. Not the soltion I was hoping for but it works nonetheless.

    Thanks Me!
