This PLugin provides a missing resource in the management of WordPress. The creator
was very willing to solve a small problem. Add it to your collection

Sometimes is less-more…This tool brakes the widget wit many setting tabs into one
column (Ex. Youtube Channel Galery) and there is no influence on settings there.
Always thumbnails are with full text from YT under. Also there is no possibility
to edit. Everytime You want to change something You have to start again. Otherwise
Widget on Pages works perfect and I can change setting in Widget section ;o) I find
this Idea good (F.E also for Posts) but it’s not working properly yet ;o(

Thanks for this – it enabled me to put my latest blog post summary on my static 
home page. There is probably another way to do that, but I’m not very techy!

I’m a WordPress developer and have created a custom theme for a client and this 
plugin looked ideal, because on my WordPress pages there are two WYSIWYG editor 
areas, one for the left column and the other for the right column, When I place 
a Widget into my right column then try to browse the page, then the entire column
and all following HTML code is blank. When I remove the Turbo Widget plugin, then
my page content comes back to normal. Nice try guys, I loved the GUI in WordPress
with the Widget icon, looked really slick but just didn’t work for me, and I don’t
have time to debug your code, so I will search for another plugin that does support
Widgets in my custom fields.
