Description
Implements a set of WordPress shortcodes and theme additions that allow widget content (initially just sidebars but eventually any text) to be used in any page or post using simple shortcodes.
Usage
For a sidebar:
[show_sidebar id=""]
Attributes
- id: the id or name of the sidebar to be shown.
Installation
- Install Widget Magic either via the WordPress.org plugin directory, or by uploading the files to your server. If uploading the files to your server create a
widget_magicdirectory in your/wp-content/plugins/directory and uploadwidget_magic.phpinto that directory. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Widget Magic
I needed to reuse a specific piece of content in multiple places (specifically a sidebar in a page with no sidebar). This let me do that. In general WordPress does not appear to make it trivial to reuse smaller pieces of content in multiple places.
