    Hi!

    I’m using DOCTYPE Theme:

    which has nice widget Call To Action.
    It’s full name is Section:Call To Action.

    Since I want to use it in a post / page
    I added this to Widgets for Shortcodes.

    My problems is, I can’t get it to display.
    What should it’s shortcode be, can you tell me?

    Here is debug if that helps you to find out:

    result of wp_get_sidebars_widgets():

    Hi, I don’t think I can explain any better than is already explained here
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/amr-shortcode-any-widget/installation/

    Did you read it ?

    If you want to use the id, it looks like it might be
    stag_widget_cta-3

    so
    [do_widget id=”stag_widget_cta-3″]

    or possibly
    [do_widget “Section:Call To Action”]

    I’ve put number 2 in ID of widget, because in source code there is no mention of number 3

    [do_widget id=”stag_widget_cta-2″]

    but you’ve put number 3

    [do_widget id=”stag_widget_cta-3″]

    and that’s how it works, but I don’t understand why it’s 3 instead of 2.

    so that fixed my problem of displaying it.
    Thank You for your help

    however, it’s not all over the page, but it’s like 1 fifth of it,
    I’m not sure why. That’s not plugin issue, tho.

    It’s ‘3’ because if you look at the sidebar/widget info dumped – round about line 5/6, inside the “widgets_for_shortcodes”, there is your widget id
