[Resolved] Using a form or a content template in a widget

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

Problem:
Using a form or a content template in a widget

Solution:
The thing is that Toolset do not control the header, footer or sidebars. You can control few theme options of header, footer or sidebar if you are using integrated theme then you will see few theme options.

So, there are two ways, either you should create a content template where you should add a two column grid and add the from on one column and your desired content on another column.

You can find the proposed solution in this case with the following reply:

Tell us what you are trying to do?
I want to place a contact form into the sidebar or another widget area.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

This post discusses using toolset post forms to generate a contact form. I'm able to generate a form and I can implement it in posts and pages. However, I want to be able to use the forms in the sidebar or other widget areas. How do I do that?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

The thing is that Toolset do not control the header, footer or sidebars. You can control few theme options of header, footer or sidebar if you are using integrated theme then you will see few theme options.

So, there are two ways, either you should create a content template where you should add a two column grid and add the from on one column and your desired content on another column.

Another way I can think of is adding a custom HTML widget to your desired sidebar and within the custom HTML widget add the form shortcode. For example:

[cred_form form="add-student-review-form"]

Where:
- Change the form slug as required.

The shortcode is exactly what I needed, thanks.
