add layout into pages by shortcode ?

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: Is it possible to insert a Layout in a page using a shortcode?

Solution: No, it's not currently possible to use shortcodes to display Layouts. You could use Content Templates instead, since they can be displayed using shortcodes and edited with the Block Editor (Gutenberg).

Hi guys, just checking if its possible to add layout into pages by shortcode ?

you may ask why this weird request, fair enough,
layout pages don't have much control of the third party plugins function.
only for wp core pages.

Toolset Layouts cannot be displayed with ShortCodes natively.
You can display Layouts only either thru the native the_content() or the_ddlayout(), the Toolset function to render Layouts.

But since Toolset Layouts is in maintenance (https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/layouts-theme-integration/), and if this is a new site, I would suggest not using Layouts here.

You might user Content Templates, they can be shown with a ShortCode and be edited with Gutenberg.

Thank you,
Didn't really bother to look at the blocks editor after reading it doesn't fully support wpv-conditional.

its an old site, i guess i have to redo all back if i were to ditch layout plugin, which is loved to ditch.

Didn't really bother to look at the blocks editor after reading it doesn't fully support wpv-conditional.
Blocks currently supports wpv-conditional as much as Layouts supports wpv-conditional. I mean that you can still use wpv-conditional in text editors in the Block editor. Block-level integration with conditionals in the Block editor will continue to improve as the Toolset Blocks project moves forward.

Let us know if you have questions about that.
