¿Quieres añadir widgets de WordPress a las entradas de tu blog y a las páginas de destino?
Los widgets facilitan a los usuarios añadir distintas funcionalidades a sus entradas y páginas sin tener que escribir una sola línea de código. Puede utilizar los widgets por defecto que ofrece WordPress o los que ofrecen diferentes plugins en su sitio.
En este artículo, le mostraremos cómo añadir fácilmente widgets de WordPress al contenido de entradas y páginas.
¿Por qué añadir widgets de WordPress en entradas y páginas?
Los widgets de WordPress son bloques de contenido que se suelen añadir a las barras laterales, cabeceras, pies de página y otras áreas. Ofrecen una gran flexibilidad para añadir diferentes funcionalidades y características a la estructura / disposición / diseño / plantilla de tu sitio WordPress.
Por ejemplo, puedes mostrar tus últimas entradas, añadir un formulario de contacto mediante un bloque de widgets y mucho más. Lo mejor es que no tienes que editar código para añadirlos.
Anteriormente, los widgets de WordPress solo podían añadirse a zonas de widgets como la barra lateral, la cabecera o el pie de página. Sin embargo, con el editor de bloques de WordPress, ahora puedes añadir widgets fácilmente a las entradas y páginas de tu blog.
Por defecto, WordPress ofrece diferentes tipos de widgets para archivos, calendarios, categorías, HTML personalizado, shortcodes, últimos comentarios, entradas recientes, RSS, características de búsqueda, iconos sociales, etc. Muchos plugins y temas de WordPress también ofrecen sus propios widgets.
Dicho esto, veamos cómo añadir widgets de WordPress a entradas y páginas.
Cómo añadir widgets de WordPress al contenido de entradas y páginas
En primer lugar, deberá editar una entrada/página de WordPress existente o añadir una nueva.
Una vez que esté en el editor de contenido de WordPress, haga clic en el botón “Añadir bloque” (+) para añadir un nuevo widget.
A continuación, desplázate hasta la sección Widgets y arrastra y suelta el bloque de widgets que quieras añadir al contenido.
Supongamos que desea mostrar las últimas entradas de su blog de WordPress dentro de su contenido y aumentar la participación.
Para ello, basta con hacer clic en el widget Últimas entradas, y tus artículos recientes aparecerán en el contenido.
Verás más ajustes en el panel de bloques a tu derecha para editar y personalizar las opciones de tus widgets.
Mediante los bloques de widgets, también puedes añadir shortcodes y HTML personalizado a tu contenido sin necesidad de escribir código. Esto hace que sea muy fácil añadir personalización avanzada y ganar más control sobre el aspecto de su sitio.
Si también desea añadir un widget personalizado a su página/entrada, consulte nuestro tutorial sobre cómo crear widgets personalizados en WordPress.
Del mismo modo, también puede utilizar un bloque de widgets para cualquier plugin de WordPress que esté utilizando en su sitio web.
Por ejemplo, si utiliza WPForms, puede utilizar el bloque WPForms para añadir su formulario al contenido.
Cuando añada el bloque WPForms al contenido de sus entradas y páginas, sólo tiene que seleccionar su formulario en el menú desplegable del propio bloque.
Una vez que haya terminado, siga adelante y publique su entrada de blog o página en su sitio web de WordPress.
Bonus: Widgets útiles para su sitio web
Ahora que ya sabes cómo añadir widgets a tus páginas y entradas, también debes tener en cuenta que solo debes añadir widgets selectivos. Si añades widgets innecesarios, tus páginas pueden parecer desordenadas, lo que se traduce en una mala experiencia de usuario.
Por ejemplo, puedes instalar y activar WP Call Button. Después de eso, puede establecer los ajustes del plugin y luego añadir su widget a su página de contacto para añadir un botón de llamada ahora.
Para más detalles, consulte nuestra guía práctica sobre cómo añadir un botón de llamada en WordPress.
Del mismo modo, puede añadir un widget RafflePress para añadir un sorteo, un widget Compact Archive para mostrar sus archivos, un widget WP Simple Pay para añadir un formulario de pago o un widget Social Count para mostrar sus seguidores en los medios sociales.
Todas estas opciones pueden ayudar a impulsar la participación, generar clientes potenciales y aumentar las conversiones en tu sitio. Para obtener más información, puedes consultar nuestra selección de expertos sobre los widgets de WordPress más útiles.

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 says
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 says
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.

Danny says
Thanks for this.
What will be the name of the “Top Posts & Pages Widget” by Jetpack ?
WPBeginner Support says
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.
Administrador
Danny says
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 says
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.

Rahul says
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 says
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 says
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 says
Hi,
I’m using your plugin to show the widget of recent topics. But the shortcode isn’t generating in the widget.
Gopi says
This is an amazing plugin. Is there an way to change the design of the plugin
Louis says
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 says
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 says
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?)

Nicole @ The Pixel Boutique says
Thank you! Just what I needed to make a separate page for Jetpack subscription signup. Great plugin I’ll use often.
anand kumar says
how i get short codes for php/text widgets .
this plugins is not showing any thing for these
Jessi says
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 says
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 says
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.

Paul says
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 says
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 says
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 says
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.

Cindy tucker says
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 says
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 says
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 says
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 says
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 says
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 says
you can tweak alignment using CSS.

Sarah says
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 says
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 says
The tutorial is correct, we double checked it and you are doing exactly what we showed in the tutorial above.
