[Resolved] Adding a widget into a Custom Content Type template

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

Problem:
The user would like to add the navigation menu inside of a content template.

Solution:
Toolset does not manage WordPress menus. You can use a third-party plugin that will allow you to put a WordPress menu using a shortcode. Then you can put it in a shortcode block. Check the following plugins:

How do I add a widget into a custom content type? I've create a 2 column grid and in the left column I'd like to include one of our WordPress menu widgets so I can have navigation.

Clearly I could create custom HTML that could be used to create the navigation but I already have a widget that would work great.

Thanks in advance

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

You can use a third-party plugin that will allow you to put a WordPress menu using a shortcode. Then you can put it in a shortcode block. Check the following plugins:
- hidden link
- https://wordpress.org/plugins/menu-shortcode/

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
