 * Hi,
 * Is there a way to insert the widget with shortcode instead of the php code? I
   want to insert the recent posts into a page, using the wordpress editor.
 * Any hint on this?
 * Thanks

 * Found the solution by adding a function to my theme.
 * **1-** Add this to the functions.php of your theme.
 * `function latestnews_function( $atts, $content = null ) {
    echo "<div>"; insert_bknewsticker();
   echo "</div>"; } add_shortcode('latestnews', 'latestnews_function'); ?>
 * **2-** Now add [latestnews] shortcode in your post or page.
