    <p>My understanding of your question is that you are looking for a way to allow the client/admin to modify the widgets that are displayed on any given page/post (rather than modify the widgets themselves).</p> <p>This is a problem I have tried various ways to solve, never adequately imo. First of all there's the option to create a widget area for each page dynamically. I've seen it in commercial themes, I've done it myself, it is not without it's problems as you can see here - <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11501218/register-new-widget-position-moves-existing-widgets">Register new widget position moves existing widgets</a></p> <p>There are plugins that can do this, again not without their drawbacks. This plugin;</p> <p><a href="http://www.codeandmore.com/products/wordpress-plugins/wp-page-widget/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.codeandmore.com/products/wordpress-plugins/wp-page-widget/</a> <a href="http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-page-widget/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-page-widget/</a></p> <p>Is great, I love it. BUT it does not work on custom page template, be aware (I've not looked at modifying to allow this, I've seen a post by the developers saying they have no intention of adding this).</p> <p>There is this plugin - <a href="http://strategy11.com/display-widgets/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://strategy11.com/display-widgets/</a> by the developer of the Formidable plugin, for me it makes the widget area far too complex if you have a lot of widgets and a lot of pages.</p> <p>Finally there is what I ended up doing recently - using this code by Chris Coyier</p> <p><a href="http://digwp.com/2010/04/call-widget-with-shortcode/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://digwp.com/2010/04/call-widget-with-shortcode/</a></p> <p>To do my own custom code using the Wordpress function the_widget (<a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_widget" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_widget</a>) to deploy certain widgets on a page by page basis.</p>
