php to call the widget anywhere

Hi,

based on the solution mentioned on https://digwp.com/2010/04/call-widget-with-shortcode/ , you can use the code below.

function wysiwyg_widget( $atts ) {

    global $wp_widget_factory;

    extract( shortcode_atts( array(
        'widget_name' => "WYSIWYG_Widgets_Widget",
		'id' => null,
    ), $atts ) );

    if ( ! is_a( $wp_widget_factory->widgets[ $widget_name ], 'WP_Widget' ) ) :
        $wp_class = 'WP_Widget_' . ucwords( strtolower( $class ) );

        if ( ! is_a ( $wp_widget_factory->widgets[ $wp_class ], 'WP_Widget' ) ) :
            return '<p>' .sprintf( __( "%s: Widget class not found. Make sure this widget exists and the class name is correct" ), '<strong>' . $class . '</strong>' ) . '</p>';
        else:
            $class = $wp_class;
        endif;
    endif;

	if ( ! is_null( $id ) ) {
		$instance['wysiwyg-widget-id'] = $id;
	}

    ob_start();
    the_widget( $widget_name, $instance, array(
		'widget_id'=>'arbitrary-instance-'.$id,
        'before_widget' => '',
        'after_widget' => '',
        'before_title' => '',
        'after_title' => ''
    ) );
    $output = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    return $output;

}
add_shortcode( 'wysiwyg_widget','wysiwyg_widget' );

And then you can use either
[wysiwyg_widget id="<ID>"]
or even
<?php echo do_shortcode('[wysiwyg_widget id="<ID>"]'); ?>

Genius!!
Thank you.

Expanded upon EXED’s solution. To decide on showing the title or not.

function wysiwyg_widget( $atts ) {

    global $wp_widget_factory;

    extract( shortcode_atts( array(
        'widget_name' => "WYSIWYG_Widgets_Widget",
		'id' => null,
		'show_title' => "1",
    ), $atts ) );

    if ( ! is_a( $wp_widget_factory->widgets[ $widget_name ], 'WP_Widget' ) ) :
        $wp_class = 'WP_Widget_' . ucwords( strtolower( $class ) );

        if ( ! is_a ( $wp_widget_factory->widgets[ $wp_class ], 'WP_Widget' ) ) :
            return '<p>' .sprintf( __( "%s: Widget class not found. Make sure this widget exists and the class name is correct" ), '<strong>' . $class . '</strong>' ) . '</p>';
        else:
            $class = $wp_class;
        endif;
    endif;

	if ( ! is_null( $id ) ) {
		$instance['wysiwyg-widget-id'] = $id;
	}

	if ( ! is_null( $show_title ) ) {
		$instance['show_title'] = $show_title;
	}

    ob_start();
    the_widget( $widget_name, $instance, array(
		'widget_id'=>'arbitrary-instance-'.$id,
        'before_widget' => '',
        'after_widget' => '',
        'before_title' => '',
        'after_title' => ''
    ) );
    $output = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    return $output;

}
add_shortcode( 'wysiwyg_widget','wysiwyg_widget' );

Then change your short to reflect if you want title on or off (Title is on by default). On = “1” Off = “0”
[wysiwyg_widget id="<ID>" show_title="0"]
or
<?php echo do_shortcode('[wysiwyg_widget id="<ID>" show_title="0"]'); ?>
