I widget di WordPress permettono agli utenti di aggiungere diverse funzionalità alle loro pagine e ai loro post senza scrivere una sola riga di codice. Che si tratti di visualizzare i post recenti, i feed dei media o l’HTML personalizzato, l’aggiunta di widget ai contenuti consente di creare un sito più dinamico e interattivo.
In WPBeginner utilizziamo vari widget nella barra laterale e nel footer per condividere informazioni importanti, mettere in evidenza guide popolari e fornire risorse aggiuntive. Utilizzando appieno queste aree, siamo in grado di offrire contenuti aggiuntivi che migliorano l’esperienza dell’utente, mantenendo il sito visivamente attraente e funzionale.
In questo articolo vi mostreremo come aggiungere facilmente widget di WordPress al contenuto di articoli e pagine.
Perché aggiungere widget di WordPress negli articoli e nelle pagine?
Iwidget di WordPress sono blocchi di contenuto che in genere si aggiungono alle barre laterali, alle header, ai footer e ad altre aree. Offrono la flessibilità di aggiungere molte funzionalità e caratteristiche diverse al layout del sito WordPress.
Ad esempio, è possibile mostrare gli ultimi articoli, aggiungere un modulo di contatto utilizzando un blocco widget e altro ancora. La cosa migliore è che non è necessario modificare il codice per aggiungerli.
In precedenza, i widget di WordPress potevano essere aggiunti solo in aree come la barra laterale, l’header o il footer. Tuttavia, con l’editor a blocchi di WordPress, è ora possibile aggiungere facilmente widget alle pagine e ai post del blog.
Di default, WordPress offre diversi tipi di contenuto per archivi, calendari, categorie, HTML personalizzato, shortcode, ultimi commenti, articoli recenti, RSS, caratteristiche di ricerca, icone sociali e altro ancora. Molti plugin e temi di WordPress offrono anche widget propri.
Detto questo, vediamo come aggiungere widget di WordPress agli articoli e alle pagine.
Aggiunta di widget di WordPress al contenuto di articoli e pagine
Per prima cosa, è necessario modificare un articolo/pagina di WordPress esistente o aggiungerne uno nuovo.
Una volta entrati nell’editor dei contenuti di WordPress, fate clic sul pulsante “Aggiungi blocco” (+) per aggiungere un nuovo widget.
Quindi, scorrere verso il basso fino alla sezione Widget e trascina e rilascia il blocco widget che si desidera aggiungere al contenuto.
Supponiamo che vogliate mostrare gli ultimi blog WordPress all’interno dei vostri contenuti e aumentare l’engagement.
Per farlo, basta fare clic sul widget Latest Posts e gli articoli più recenti appariranno nel contenuto.
Nel pannello di blocco sulla destra sono presenti altre impostazioni per modificare e personalizzare le opzioni dei widget.
Utilizzando i widget block, è possibile aggiungere shortcode e HTML personalizzato ai contenuti senza scrivere codice. In questo modo è facilissimo aggiungere personalizzazioni avanzate e ottenere un maggiore controllo sull’aspetto del sito.
Se volete aggiungere un widget personalizzato alla vostra pagina/post, consultate il nostro tutorial su come creare widget personalizzati in WordPress.
Allo stesso modo, è possibile utilizzare un blocco widget per qualsiasi plugin di WordPress utilizzato sul sito web.
Ad esempio, se si utilizza WPForms, è possibile aggiungere il modulo al contenuto utilizzando il blocco WPForms.
Quando si aggiunge il blocco WPForms al contenuto di articoli e pagine, è sufficiente selezionare il modulo dal menu a discesa del blocco stesso.
Una volta terminato, procedete alla pubblicazione della pagina o del blog sul vostro sito web WordPress.
Bonus: Widget utili per il vostro sito
Ora che sapete come aggiungere widget alle vostre pagine e alle vostre pubblicazioni, dovete anche ricordarvi di aggiungere solo widget selettivi. Se si aggiungono widget non necessari, le pagine possono apparire disordinate e l’esperienza dell’utente può risultare scadente.
Ad esempio, è possibile installare e attivare WP Call Button. Successivamente, è possibile configurare le impostazioni del plugin e aggiungere il widget alla pagina dei contatti per aggiungere un pulsante “Chiama ora”.
Per maggiori dettagli, consultate il nostro tutorial su come add-on un pulsante fai clic in WordPress.
Allo stesso modo, è possibile aggiungere un widget RafflePress per aggiungere un giveaway, un widget Compact Archive per visualizzare gli archivi, un widget WP Simple Pay per aggiungere un modulo di pagamento o un widget Social Count per visualizzare i follower sui social media.
Tutte queste opzioni possono contribuire ad aumentare il coinvolgimento, a generare contatti e ad aumentare le conversioni sul vostro sito. Per ulteriori informazioni, potete consultare le nostre scelte degli esperti sui widget WordPress più utili.
Ci auguriamo che questo articolo vi abbia aiutato a capire come aggiungere widget di WordPress ai contenuti delle pagine e dei post.

It does not work for me: “Widget not in any sidebars”.

Hello,
Is there anyway you can show us how to do this WITHOUT using a plugin? Please let me know, thank you.
Sincerely,
Hannah
WPBeginner Support
We will be sure to add that to our tutorials where it would make sense but writing out the code for a custom plugin would act the same as if you were installing a plugin to handle this.

Hi I just tried doing this in block editor and I cannot find a way to get the widget block to the right of my posts…. Like how the sidebar looks on my blog page. How can I do this?
WPBeginner Support
If you mean you want your widgets on the side widget area, you would want to reach out to your theme’s support for if there is a widget area there for posts and pages.
Admin
Danny
Thanks for this.
What will be the name of the “Top Posts & Pages Widget” by Jetpack ?
WPBeginner Support
It should use that name, if not you would want to reach out to the plugin’s support and they should be able to assist.
Admin
Danny
Ok,
Another thing:
I tried testing it on sidebar and I got something like: There is nothing to see here (meaning there are no new posts, or so i thought)
Is there a way to show my most popular posts, no matter the date it was published?
WPBeginner Support
You would want to reach out to the support for the popular posts widget that you are using for what they use for showing the posts.

hi there, how can i use text widget in post. i used code [do_widget text] but it isn’t working. i want to insert image slider in text widget please help me with this way or any other way. thanks
channing
this isn’t working properly.
I’ve installed the plugin and pasted the code at the bottom of the page, and when i push preview the widget ends up being the header as opposed to showing up where i put it.
JB
Is this supposed to work with the Customizr theme? The widgets seem to work in left and right side bars, but not within content. I even installed a plugin that provides widget IDs, so I can include proper ID in the [do_widget ] short code.
How can I fix this?
Jeffrey Beckers
Hi,
I’m using your plugin to show the widget of recent topics. But the shortcode isn’t generating in the widget.
Gopi
This is an amazing plugin. Is there an way to change the design of the plugin
Louis
Hi, this is a great plugin. Thank you for it.
Is there a way to change the styles on the widget in the AMR without it affecting the widgets throughout the rest of the site? Mainly I’m concerned with the padding of 20% which centers the content awkwardly on my page. If I change it to 0% in the .widget css it looks great but the widgets on the other pages are all messed up. Is there a way to apply separate CSS to the AMR content without it affecting the other widgets?
Mackenzie
Thank you for this, it works great in the content of one of my pages. However, it doesn’t seem to work on my homepage. The homepage edit area IS different since I have to go to theme options>appearance instead of the individual page…Wordpress just gives me a place to add text, although I use HTML there for other things that seem to work fine. I tried adding the shortcode to the “home” edit page also with no luck.
Another page on this site said to add the following to functions.php in my child theme:
add_filter(‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’);
But just adding that doesn’t help either. There must be some setting with the homepage that won’t allow this. Any ideas? Thanks
WPBeginner Support
Your theme may be using a custom template. Contact your theme’s support.

Would this work to put content at the bottom of each post? (Like a subscription form?)

Thank you! Just what I needed to make a separate page for Jetpack subscription signup. Great plugin I’ll use often.
anand kumar
how i get short codes for php/text widgets .
this plugins is not showing any thing for these
Jessi
This plugin is perfect! I have a question though: How does one align the widget to the left of the post with the text wrapping around it? What is the exact CSS code that needs to be used?
Shonda
Love your widget. However, how do you edit a widget to be able to use it on more than one post with different data? For instance, the widget I am using ask what category and how many post in that category I want to display.
As it stands, I have to edit the widget in the short code area, then I can place it in one page. Now I want to add the widget to two other pages with a different category and # of posts. Thanks in advance.
WPBeginner Support
you can add multiple widgets by dragging them into shortcodes sidebar on the widgets screen and using the widget id to display it in the post.
Admin
Paul
Thanks a lot for this plugin !! Me too I would like to post the same widget in different pages but where do you find the widget id ?
Sameer Verma
Hi,
Is there anyway to display the widget id in all post. I want to display a widget below post in all type of posts .
Actually i need a share this site below to all posts and pages .
How i can??
rianne
Hey! I added the widget in the main sidebarthing at the widget page and put the code in the page. I see the widget, wich is really cool, but i also see this message:
Sidebar Shortcodeswith sidebarid Shortcodes empty or not defined.
Widget dooodl! not in sidebar with id Shortcodes and with name Shortcodes
How can i delete that? And why is it there?
thanks! greetings
WPBeginner Support
The widget you want to display on the page, you need to drag and drop that widget to the shortcodes sidebar first. Then use the shortcode in a page to display the widget.

Help! I want to place a subscription widget under each post and I don’t know any code. How do I do this?
kory s
You could simply add the widget to the Shortcode widget and then call the Shortcode in your template where you want it to go…
See wpbeginners other helpful post at https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-use-shortcodes-in-your-wordpress-themes/
Flame Denise
How about if mw widget is a Text with a title “Our Services”?
All these shortcodes don’t work:
[do_widget Text: Our Services]
[do_widget Text:Our Services]
[do_widget “Text: Our Services”]
Alexander Bradley
Don’t know why the writer didn’t get back to you. I had the same issue but found that the title for the Widget is just called Text. Try that and see if it works. Not sure what happens if you have multiple widgets called Text but I guess I see soon enough.
Daniel Nielsen
Hi
What to call it if you wanner use the same widget more then one time in one page:
[do_widget count down]
&
[do_widget count down]
Ashish
for example
[do_widget “recent posts”] this one
how can i align it in such a way that it appears with a specific height and width
aligned to the right side of the post or in the middle of the post with the text surrounding it ?
Is it possible ?
WPBeginner Support
you can tweak alignment using CSS.
Admin
Sarah
Is this missing any steps? I’ve tried the debug and it still doesn’t work. When I debug, I get a very generic name for the widget “text-4”.
Is there a way to set the widget I’d manually?
Is there a problem with the amr shortcode widget plugin? Eg is this still the plugin to use as of aug 2013?
Aistis
Either the plugin has updated or this tutorial was incorrect to begin with.
Use [do_widget id=recent-posts-2] or [do_widget “Recently in news”]
WPBeginner Support
The tutorial is correct, we double checked it and you are doing exactly what we showed in the tutorial above.

This is an amazing tip. My blog has a single column theme and this is just the kind of thing i needed. Thanks a lot.
