 * Is there a way to use the plugin as a shortcode inside a post or layout builder?
   
   Thanks

 * Hello,
 * There’s no shortcode for this plugin, as that would add a lot of complications
   with theme compatibility for the plugin in general for everyone.
 * The Layout Builder does allow you to insert “floating widget areas” in the Columns
   element. That would be one approach you could try. I’m not sure what theme you’re
   using, or if you’re actually using the Layout Builder plugin, but at some point,
   an option to feed widget areas into a Content element was added, as well.
