# Widget within widget

 * Is there a way of “embedding” a widget within another widget. What I wish to 
   do is having an accordion widget (like the one in “Shortcodes ultimate”) opening/
   closing a category post widget. I thought I’d be able to do this with shortcodes
   but I’m not experienced enough to know if all widgets generate something useful.
   
   Something akin to the following meta-code
 *     ```
       [su_spoiler title="Spoiler title" open="no" style="default" icon="plus" anchor="" class=""]SHORTCODE_FOR_WIDGET_EG_CAT-POSTS[/su_spoiler]
       [su_spoiler title="Another Spoiler title" open="no" style="default" icon="plus" anchor="" class=""]SHORTCODE_FOR_WIDGET_EG_SOME_OTHER_CAT-POSTS[/su_spoiler]
       ```

 * According to [their documentation](https://docs.getshortcodes.com/), Shortcodes
   Ultimate can be “embedded”. te best place to ask this is [Shortcodes Ultimate](https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcodes-ultimate/).

 * I found the solution for my problem, by using a plugin that produces the shortcode
   for categories. That makes it so I can use as categories indicated above.
