 * Signor Latino,
    I am using the Posts in Sidebar in my new site (in the testing
   mode now). I’ll greatly appreciate if you can help on a couple of points:
 * 1). I have inserted the short code, [pissc number=100 cat=”Front” the_more=” …
   Read more →”], on my ‘Home’ page to pull some posts (cat=Front).
 * Is it possible to insert the same short code on other PAGES to pull some other
   specific post (just by changing the “cat” to some other name)?
 * 2). Insertion of this short code doesn’t ‘widgetize’ the page – the page doesn’t
   show under the ‘widgets area’ – is there a way to to widgetize the pages using
   PIS short codes?
 * Thank you very much for a great Plugin, and all the help you give to the users.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshort-code-widgetizing-pages%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Yes, sure! You can use the shortcode in any page.

 * Using a shortcode in a page doesn’t mean that the page will appear in the widgets
   area. It simply means that you can display a list of posts in a page. For example,
   let’s say that you have a page “Leonardo Da Vinci” and you want to show all your
   posts published under the tag “Leonardo Da Vinci”: Posts in Sidebar lets you 
   do that using a shortcode.

 * Hello Aldo,
    Thank you very much for a fast response. It is a very useful and
   well designed plugin, and, on top of it, a great support from you!
 * I noticed many updates since I had installed it on my other website. On that 
   one, I was using another plugin to ‘Widgetize” the pages – but, it seems that
   the plugin is abandoned and being updated.[wigdetization allows to insert any
   widget anywhere in the page.]
 * I will be up posting a new review of this plugin soon.
 * Thank you again for a great work.
