To create a shortcode for an Elementor custom widget, you will need to follow these steps:
- Register your custom widget with Elementor by creating a class that extends the Widget_Base class. This class should contain the necessary functions to render your widget content.
- In the render function of your custom widget class, generate the HTML output for your widget.
- In the same class, use the add_action function to register the widget with Elementor. This will make it appear in the Elementor editor as a draggable widget.
- In the render function, use the ob_start and ob_get_clean functions to capture the HTML output of your widget.
- In the same function, return the captured HTML output.
- Use the add_shortcode function in your theme's functions.php file to create a shortcode for your custom widget. The shortcode should call the render function of your custom widget class.
- Now you can use the shortcode in your Elementor pages to display your custom widget.
By following these steps, you can easily create a shortcode for your Elementor custom widget and use it in your website to display custom content.
