Insert a widget or multiple widgets or a entire widget area (sidebar) into a page using a shortcode.
Set up your widget first in a normal sidebar. Check it works. 
THEN Drag your chosen widgets to the sidebar called “widgets for shortcode”.
Add the do_widget shortcode to the page where you would like the widget to appear (or the do_widget_area)
To use in the block editor, add a shortcode block, then type in (including the square brackets [do_widget widgetname] or copy the do_widget tip from the widget in the ‘Widgets for Shortcodes’ sidebar.
Please see detailed info on shortcodes and parameters under the installation tab (depending what the plugin directory developers have most recently done, this may be under the FAQ, or at the very least under the readme.)
Using a widget more than once?
Reference a specific widget instance from the do_widget shortcode, or the chosen sidebar from the do_widget_area shortcode. Eg: [do_widget id=widget-n]
For example: You could use the query posts widget in the page to create a archive within a page, or the rss widget to list feed content from other sites. For more details see <a href="http://webdesign.anmari.com/category/plugins/shortcode-any-widget/" rel="nofollow ugc">anmari.com</a>
The plugins default action is that it will magically find the settings for your themes sidebar and use the sidebar html to control the widgets output. In most cases this means the widget will be styled as per the rest of your theme. If that does not look good, parameters exist to try override this behaviour.
EG: in twenty-fourteen theme widget text ends up being white on white! widget_classes=none fixes that. Eg: [do_widget widget_classes=none yourwidget]
Changed your theme and worried about losing the sidebar settings ?
No problem, the plugin will save and restore the widgets_for_shortcode settings. On display it will then pick up the new themes sidebar settings.
Note:
PLEASE get your widgets working in a sidebar BEFORE activating this plugin, and please read https://wordpress.org/plugins/amr-shortcode-any-widget/installation/ and https://wordpress.org/plugins/amr-shortcode-any-widget/faq/ and/or see the settings page. To see a list of your widgets in their sidebars, add ?do_widget_debug to the page with the do_widget shortcode.

This tool works flawlessly. I was wondering about this kind of solution for a long. Thanks for creating this. I'll prepare a tutorial on it.

In WordPress each page must be intentionally assigned a template (or have a template file intentionally named for it) or WordPress applies the default page.php template. Child pages do not inherit parent page templates. On a large website with many child pages within a hierarchy of pages this does not make for an easy or error free way to use page templates to create a sectioned CMS. A user can assign a template to a top level page (or a “beginning of section” page) but its descendants (child pages) will not follow with their ancestor’s template. Each page’s template must be individually assigned. For small sites with few pages and few users this is not a significant matter. On a site with hundreds or thousands of pages and multiple editors and multiple “sections” this makes WordPress less than ideal as a CMS platform
This plugin solves that problem. It investigates each page and assigns hierarchical templates to pages and their children giving precedence to page-[id].php templates. If no page-[id].php templates are found all the way up the ancestory tree then it will check for page-[slug].php templates back up the ancestory tree. If those are not found then it will look for a meta assigned custom.php template – first for the currently selected page and then if the page does not have a custom.php template assigned the function will look back up the ancestory tree to see if an ancestor page has been assigned a custom.php template. If all of these fail it will fall back to WP’s default page.php template.
