  • Absolutely essential!

    This is such a fantastic and much needed plugin - incredibly helpful if you're customising your site or need to insert sidebars and widgets across the site.

  • Ingenious little plugin!

    I needed to paste a script to display an online radio station playlist, and strangely it would only show a formatted playlist within a widget. In a post, it only displayed a button and a link. No playlist. BUT this plugin solved the problem. By creating a shortcode from that widget (brilliant!), I was able to display the playlist in a post correctly, which is exactly what was needed. Thank you to the developers!

  • CSS Not Functioning

    Good plugin, not a bad at all!! But, "my "deal of the day" sidebar css was not functioning when I was displaying through shortcode on "sticky on scroll" widget. If it gets fixed = 5 star.

  • Perfect little helper

    Thanks for that simple but useful solution for generating and showing the widget ID and showing me a shortcode for that, that I can add in a post or page content - works fine with my WP 6.2, thank you!
