So close!

I wanted to use this so I didnt have to have the widget in a sidebar as there was too much information in it (a calendar widget). I added it, worked great. I removed the widget from the widget area and refreshed the page… “Widget not in any sidebars”. Looks like you have to have the widget in a widget area somewhere on the site for it to work.
I might try to find a widget area that does not show up in my theme else i’ll have to look for a different plugin. ??
