Widgets are not added to blocks, if sidebar layout is off

Hi there, I want to build up some of my pages using blocks instead of a page builder.
On one of these pages, I want to add widgets, which are not listed in the limited list of widgets.
so I added the widgets by shortcode instead, but when I at the same time decided to not use sidebars, my widgets in the blocks also disappears.
Widget not in any sidebars
How do I fix this?
I the customizer deselected sidebars globally, as many pages are custom links, or many pages do not respond to the Content (no sidebars) layout setting, the sidebar is still there with a
Search archives
as content.
Why does pages not respond på this local layout setting?

Hi there,
Is this the plugin you are using?

You might need to add the desired widget in a widget area that's not used/displayed on the page to activate the shortcode.
I don't see a sidebar on the linked page. Have you figured out?
Hi there, thanks for your answer, I'm using
amr shortcode any widget
but I guess it's the same. I turned sidebar off, but from what I can see, sidebars are not available for Home Page anyway.

This is actually a good idea, leaving the widgets in the sidebar, but deselect sidebar in the customizer keeps the shortcodes working. I hope it with shortcodes in elements, as well which I will test.
Thanks
No problem :)
