TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners who reuse the same widget across multiple sidebars, such as those with theme logic that swaps sidebars by template. It solves the problem of manually keeping duplicate widget copies in sync by letting one source widget be defined once and mirrored elsewhere.

Duplicate widget mirrors a source widget
Auto-updates when source widget changes
Supports unlimited duplicates per widget
Uses own sidebar's before/after markup
Marks source widgets with duplicate count
Deletes duplicates if source widget removed
Includes source widget ID and type as HTML classes
Four action hooks for customization

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Duplicate Widget

When a widget gets deactivated (dragged to the "Inactive Widgets" section of the widgets admin page) or deleted, all of its duplicates get deleted. The plugin provides numerous cues to make you aware of what widgets have duplicates.

If a widget is newly activated, any existing active duplicate widgets will not have it listed in their dropdowns immediately. Either a page reload must occur or the duplicate widget must be saved (which causes the widget to be retrieved via AJAX and thus the dropdown is regenerated).

Yes.
