• Script: Add custom JavaScript or any other type of script to the widget for functionality.

Add Content

Depending on the content type you selected, the Content section will change to fit your choice:

• If you choose Editor, a text editor will appear where you can write or paste the desired content.
• If you selected Shortcode, a field will appear for you to enter the shortcode.
• For Video, you’ll get a video embed field.
• If you selected Script, an input field will be provided to add your custom JavaScript code.
