The Category Posts Widget works with the Page Builder by SiteOrigin, but there can be a misunderstood in how to add it.
Please add the widget with shortcode [
catposts]
inside a editor widget which is placed to a SiteOrigin Page Builder row.
For the editor widget we recommend also SiteOrigin widgets. If you install the SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle this will install a editor widget. That’s what we use in the YouTube video above.
The layer structure will be:
Here we give the layer structure how all the elements will be used that the Category Posts Widget can be placed in a Page Builder by SiteOrigin row.
⇒ Post page or site
⇒ Page Builder by SiteOrigin
⇒ Editor (comes with the Widgets Bundle by SiteOrigin)
⇒ Shortcode for Category Posts Widget
Step by steps:
- Activate the SiteOrigin Page Builder on a post page or a site
- Add a editor widget, e.g. the SiteOrigin editor from the SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle
- Click “edit” to the placed editor widget
- Add the shortcode
[
catposts]
to the editor - Click “Done”
- Click “view page”
- Click the “Customizer” button on top of the page
- Edit our widget in the WordPress Customizer (Not if you at the admin pages from SiteOrigin Page Builder. That doesn’t work.)

Thanks a lot for such an informative post!
The information on widgtes is very complete. I recently discovered a free page builder mentioned in this video https://youtu.be/ki90-UgFCYc?list=PLER4IYznJukfOXcK23ltC699bpQzu-mFn and that can be interesting. In any case, can you complement this new editor with SiteOrigin Page Builder?
I hope it helps other beginners like me!
