Looks like the plugin developer has abandoned it as the incompatibility hasn't been addressed for many weeks. This means that users have to avoid ANY plugins created by OTWthemes
Doesn't work propperly with PHP 7.4 and PHP7.3. Plugin author doesn't answer questions, his last response to suppoprt questions is more than three years ago - seems kind of abonned :(
Promising software, but has fatal bugs and looking at the error messages it seems like there are some simple typos in some of their variable name calls.
Unfortunately, the free version of the software is unsupported, so I've no choice other than to uninstall and choose another similar product.
Well, what a THIEF.
Below this is my original review of this plugin.
I just found another widget plugin named "Widgets on Pages" by toddhalfpenny. It seemed very familiar, the interface looks exactly the same, the options, the way it worked. It even had the same bug of leaving the sidebar behind after being uninstalled. I compared it to this plugin, and this one was made 3 months after the other one was. This one is being SOLD by otwthemes-dot-com. It is called "Sidebar & Widget Manager for WordPress" and cost $23. I do not approve of this behavior. My original rating was 5 stars, it is now 1 star.

I was really surprised to see the plugin actually works. It does exactly what I was hoping it would do, put a widget where a post would usually be. I just uninstalled the plugin and noticed it left behind the sidebar I created with it. I wish I could delete it, but no big problem really.
