How to add widget area with elements?

Hi there,

the simplest way would be to NOT create a new widget area. Instead you can use this plugin:

https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/widget-shortcode/

Then you can simply generate shortcodes to your widgets and add them to the Hook element.

Otherwise you will need to create your own widget area - you can see an example here:

It can be very complicated.

Thank You, this plugin is good enough for me. Very fast respond :D

Glad to be of help!

Hello David .. it seems, that the Widget PlugIn doesn't work any more on the latest WP Version?!?

I would like to add Weather Widgets from https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/live-weather-station/ to a page .. but nothing happens after selecting the Widget in the editor.

Hi there,

which plugin is not working ? Is it the Weather Station one ?

If so maybe try reverting to the classic widgets by disabling block widgets:

The Widget-Shortcode doesn't work (on my site) .. but I've done it with https://wordpress.org/plugins/widgets-on-pages/#description ... https://www.langemeyer.net/wetter

Glad to hear you found a working solution.
