Widget

[Jan]

Hello,

is there a shortcode for the widget?

So far I had used Elementor and could simply select the widget there.

Now I’m using Gutenberg and Blocks and can’t find a way to embed the widget on a page :-(

What did I miss there?

Happy New Year to everyone

Kind regards

Hi Jan,

I don’t know…

There was some kind of Widget Block, but it is gone or never even made it into a release.
I think WordPress Core doesn’t see classic widgets as an option for blocks.

You could still use the shortcode for reading, like [gwolle_gb_read].

Now that I look into it, there is a shortcode for the widget that I forgot all about :)
[gwolle_gb_widget] is the shortcode.
Options are for book_id, num_entries and num_words.

Can you manage?

Hello Marcel,

[gwolle_gb_read] is known and works.

Thanks for [gwolle_gb_widget] … works too!

But not as nice as under Elementor (automatic change of entries)

But I like the simple shortcode best anyway.

Have a good start in 2023!
