• I found the description and the images kind of confusing.
    I wrote these steps out for anyone else looking for clarification:

    1. in your multisite Network Admin, visit your list of sites, hover over the name of the PRIMARY site that you want to mirror a sidebar of widgets from, and note the id number at the end of the URL for that site within the your multisite wordpress installation
    2. on your PRIMARY site, create a bunch of widgets in a sidebar (these will all be shared together as a group in the cloned sidebar on a SECONDARY site eventually)
    3. in your theme files, where the sidebars are generated, note the id of the sidebar that you are attempting to clone
    4. on your SECONDARY site, in your admin widgets section, drag and drop the [Multisite Shared Sidebar] widget to one of your sidebars available on your secondary site (if you use the same theme, you would place it in the same sidebar location as found on the primary site)
    5. in the field with the title “Blog ID: or Blog Path:”, enter that ID number that you noted for the PRIMARY site in step 1.
    6. in the field with the title “Sidebar ID:”, enter the name of the sidebar that you noted in step 3
    7. save the widget, and load up the page of the SECONDARY site where the sidebar exists
      You should see the PRIMARY sidebar duplicated inside the sidebar location of the SECONDARY site where you put the Multisite Shared Sidebar widget.
