Two shortcodes for WordPress that will allow you to call sidebars or widget areas from the WordPress editor.
Copy the code from the files into your WordPress theme or plug-in.This is now a plugin! Just added to your plugins directory and activate!- That's it!
For the sidebar shortcode: [sidebar_shortcode name=SIDEBARID]. Replace SIDEBARID with the sidebar's ID. For the widgets shortcode: [widgets_shortcode name=SIDEBARID]. Replace SIDEBARID with the sidebar's (or widget area's) ID.
- I would recommend prefixing the shortcodes and the functions to avoid conflicts with other plugins or theme code.
- I wrote a blog post that explains everything here: Include a Sidebar with a Shortcode in WordPress
- This, like WordPress, is released under the GPL.
-- Version 1.1 --
- Now plugin-ified!
- Added jc_ prefix to functions.
