A plugin that adds “Add”, “Save”, “Restore” and “Delete” buttons to the Widgets configuration page with the following
functionality:
Add: Adds a new named widget layout and saves the current widget layout against the new layout name.
Save: Saves the current widget layout against the selected layout name.
Restore: Restores the previously saved widget layout. If the theme name shown next to the layout name in the
drop-down matches the current theme, widgets will be restored to the sidebar they were located in when the layout was
saved.
Delete: Deletes the selected widget layout – does not modify the current layout of the widgets.

current theme.
