Put Shortcodes in your Sidebars & Widgets in your Pages - WordPress

[@Kgameart]

You are saving my life right now. I have the task of redesigning a wordpress website, but it’s unlike any I’ve worked with before. Each page is completely made up of widgets, which seems really bizarre to me. I don’t even want to change the theme since I’m worried about losing all the content, so I’m here to learn more about widgets. Thank you for all your expertise!

[@KoriAshton]

Thank you for this very kind encouragement :)

[@roncurington4684]

Thank you Kori, This was exactly what I was looking for. I just installed this plugin and was having trouble sorting out how to make it work. Really I just needed a visual walk through. This was perfect. BTW I can't tell you what a joy it is to find tutorials presented by someone who... a.) actually speaks and b.) speaks English that I can understand I waste horrible amounts of time weeding through all the videos that are essentially silent movies that just play music at me or either are not in English or are so heavily accented as to be entirely unintelligible. Thank you so much.

[@KoriAshton]

WOW!!!! Thank you for this incredible feedback!

[@ari7thomas7s]

hey there thanl you for the video, it helped me to be able to use a nice widget for the latest posts. I stuck with an option to be able to do it and I looking for a solution for it. I make a news webside and I need to do not just the recent post (news) but to be able to highligt the breaking news or the post what is the most important or developing news. for example every link to the posts is black and breaking news are red color. It is not necessary to use the widget but so far I don't find any other solution online for this simple option in a user friendly way... thank you in advance

[@KoriAshton]

wonderful! Thanks for the feedback.

[@carolkelly8848]

[@JaneUnsworth]

Hey Kori et al... Fab video. I'd had the 'awr shortcode any widget' plugin recommended, but until now had no idea how to set it up. Many thanks...Like Amber love your enthusiasm for all things geek - yey! Here's my question. Can I position two widgets to sit side by side? I have the space as using a landing-page template, but the widget code wants to sit them one on top of the other on the page?

[@Vanessa_Elaine]

I have a question how do I stop my post from posting on my blog page. I got the concept of posting to a specific page but not only does it post to the specific page it also post on my blog page which now it seems like i have a duplicate post on two different pages on my site. I s there a way around this? can you please direct to a video or something I've been searching every where!!!

[@cbadebayo1]

[@johnkevinmurillo1479]

[@sampathmutta2874]

Hi, I request for if any video for carousel with multiple items display in Divi theme.

[@KoriAshton]

Do you mean like a slideshow with photos?

[@richardcarter8093]

A video about the Grid, digging down into it would be appreciated.

[@richardcarter8093]

***** The grid in Rev Slider.

[@richardcarter8093]

***** The layer grid guidlines inside the Revolution Slider. We are new to the slider, and it appears very useful, we just aren't seeing the most efficient use of the grid guidelines as we try to make decisions regarding image sizes/slider sizing, etc.

[@richardcarter8093]

***** Yes, I've viewed them, but they are not specific to the use of the grid. Was hoping you could dig down deeper into the use of that item. Thanks.

[@richardcarter8093]

***** Never mind. It's obvious you're not interested. I'll look elsewhere for answers.

[@MaxCooperJones]

i think this is pretty straightforward. copy code, paste code on pages/posts. yes? but mine didn't show up. not on my page nor post. something like that on page - *[do_widget id=same-category-posts-2]* ..NADA! anyone has help?

[@knowledgeofthelord140]

U can convert widget 2 shortcode, or just add widget area On your post..

[@Malhawat]

merci ya helwin

[@maxxabillionmaxxabillion8063]

My question is, how to use shortcodes without plugins? Especially in the Sidebars & Widgets. I thought I would find the answer in this video, but everyone always revert to widgets!!

[@maxxabillionmaxxabillion8063]

+WebTegrity Thanks for your response. I figured it out. I had to locate the Text Widget and paste the code within it, then put it on my side bar. Worked like a charm.

[@KalpeshSanghavi]

Super Dooper

[@KoriAshton]

Yay!!!
