Genesis Featured Page Advanced meets Genesis Featured Posts meets Genesis Featured Widget Amplified meets Content Blocks meets amr Shortcode any widget.

Written by Tom Usborn, dev of GeneratePress, this plugin allows you to embed a “featured pages/posts” section anywhere, using a shortcode.

First you have to create the content (as a WP Show Posts “List”). It will be assigned a shortcode in the format of [wp_show_posts id="nnn"].

Then you insert that shortcode into any place, via copy/paste: page, post, CPT.
