WidgetShortcode

WidgetShortcode is a WordPress plugin allowing you to turn any widget into a WordPress shortcode or display a widget with a dedicated block. The shortcodes can then be used in posts, pages, and more. It also has a dedicated block, making it easier to select a widget to show in the Block Editor. It works great in the classic WordPress editor, but also in the block editor (for widgets that don’t have a Gutenberg block) and other page builders. This way you are not limited to only sidebars and your choice of editing tools is not based on the block functionality of the plugins.
