Upon activation, go to Appearance => Widgets.
You'll notice a new widget-ready area called "Widget for Shortcodes":
Next, you'll have to drag the widget(s) you want to display in your post or page into this new shortcodes sidebar:
And that's all ... ANY widget added to the shortcodes sidebar can be inserted into your post or page content.
All you have to do, is to open your post/page in the post/page editor, and paste the following shortcode (wherever you like in your content):
[do_widget widgetname]
Since I added the calendar widget, my shortcode will look like this ...
[do_widget calendar]
... and here it is pasted into my content:
If the widget name has space in it, then you'll have to add the widget name in quotes. For example:
[do_widget "recent posts"]
OK. Now let's see the result ...
Yes, this is very helpful.
Thanks again and yep bookmarked.
Have a wonderful week.
