The <a href="http://www.vanderwijk.com/wordpress/wordpress-custom-post-widget/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=custom_post_widget" rel="nofollow ugc">Content Blocks</a> allows you to display the contents of a specific custom post in a widget on in the content area using a shortcode.
Even though you could use the text widget that comes with the default WordPress install, this plugin has some major benefits:
<ul>
<li>The Content Blocks plugin enables users to use the WYSIWYG editor for editing the content and adding images.</li>
<li>If you are using the standard WordPress text widgets to display content on various areas of your template, this content can only be edited by users with administrator access. If you would like non-administrator accounts to modify the widget content, you can use this plugin to provide them access to the custom posts that provide the content for the widget areas.</li>
<li>You can even use the featured image functionality to display them in a widget.</li>
<li>The Content Blocks plugin is compatible with the WPML Multi-Language plugin and automatically shows the correct language in the widget area.</li>
<li>The Content Blocks can be included in posts and pages using the built-in shortcode functionality.</li>
</ul>
This plugin creates a ‘content_block’ custom post type. You can choose to either display the title on the page or use it to describe the contents and widget position of the content block. Note that these content blocks can only be displayed in the context of the page. I have added ‘public’ => false to the custom post type which means that it is not accessible outside the page context.
To add content to a widget, drag it to the required position in the sidebar and select the title of the custom post in the widget configuration.

Content Blocks (Custom Post Widget)

I was looking for something like this that goes perfectly with page builder based on widgets. Easy to use, simple and gets the job done.

Simple and effective

This plugin enables you to edit and display Content Blocks in a sidebar widget or using a shortcode.

Sometimes, you need to use the same content across multiple posts as shared content. This shared content can save time, but the usual method of copying and pasting isn’t ideal. Here’s why: 
– Editing is a hassle. If the content is copied across several posts, making updates becomes time-consuming and frustrating. 
– Post size gets bloated. If the shared content is lengthy and used in multiple posts, it can unnecessarily increase your database size.
That’s where the Wueen plugin steps in to save the day! 
With a simple shortcode and the <code>wueen-blocket</code> custom post type, you can streamline this process. Here’s how it works: 
1- Create your shared content as a wueen-blocket post. 
2- Use the shortcode, which includes the content’s unique ID, to insert it into any post, page, or widget.
Now for the cool part: You can make your content dynamic with variables! 
Add key-value pairs to your wueen-blocket post, and use them inside curly braces { } within the text. When the shortcode is used, these variables will automatically be replaced with their values. And here’s the cherry on top: You can override these values directly in the shortcode to make the content even more adaptable!
With Wueen, managing shared content has never been easier—or more flexible. 😊
<h4>Features</h4>
– Custom Post Type wueen-blocket: Easily create and manage shared content. 
– Variable Definition: Add key-value variables to your wueen-blocket posts and use them directly within the content. 
– Shortcode Support: Insert content from any wueen-blocket post anywhere using its unique ID (post ID). 
– Dynamic Variables: Override variables directly through the shortcode for added flexibility. 
– Nested Shared Content: The ability to use any shortcodes within contents.
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li>
Create a New Wueen Blocket 
– From the admin dashboard menu, navigate to Wueen Blockets and click on Add New Blocket. 
– Enter a title and your content. Note: The title is for organizational purposes only and won’t appear on the front end.
</li>
<li>
Define Variables (Optional) 
– If your content includes repetitive or dynamic values, you can define them using the Wueen Blocket Variables metabox. 
– Use lowercase letters for variable names and replace spaces with hyphens (<code>-</code>). 
– In your content, wrap the variable names in curly braces <code>{ }</code>. 
For example, if your variable name is <code>version</code> include <code>{version}</code> in your content to dynamically replace it.
</li>
<li>
Copy the Shortcode: 
You’ll find the shortcode under the Publish metabox. It looks like this: 
[wueen-blocket id=”POST_ID”][/wueen-blocket] 
Copy and use the shortcode wherever needed.
</li>
</ol>
<h4>Shortcode Structure</h4>
The id attribute is required, while additional attributes can customize functionality: 
– content-position: Accepts <code>after</code> or <code>before</code>. Default value is <code>after</code>. It determines whether the content inside the shortcode tags should appear before or after the content specified by the ID. 
– shortcode: Accepts <code>on</code> or <code>off</code>. Default value is <code>on</code>. It controls whether any shortcodes within the shared content are executed. 
– err-404: Specifies the error message if the ID is not found. Default: “Wueen Blocket {id} not found”. 
– Custom attributes starting with v-: Override variable values. For example, <code>v-version</code> can set a new value for the <code>version</code> variable.

Wueen

Use post content anywhere with a shortcode. Variables in the wueen-blocket post type allow dynamic content changes via shortcode attributes.
