Widgets inside widgets?

Hi, not sure if this has already been addressed or not, but I’m wondering if there is a way to include a SiteOrigin widget inside the Visual Editor or the SIteOrigin Editor widget when using PageBuilder. Specifically I’d like to put a button within a Visual Editor widget, instead of adding a second (button) widget to a column in a PageBuilder row. Is there a way to use a shortcode for those widgets to include them within a Visual Editor widget? That way I can keep the background color or image the same and not have to try to deal with the gap between the two rows. See home page at the issue URL below for example, would like the buttons to be part of the content above them rather than each being in a separate row. Thanks!

    Hi AltiM@c

    Thanks for reaching out.

    You can’t put a Button widget inside a Visual Editor widget, unfortunately. There is no shortcode solution for our widgets either. We do however have a widget called the Layout Builder. Give it a try. That’ll let you build a Page Builder layout within a column, Page Builder within Page Builder. It should, hopefully, allow you to get close to what you’re after.

    Thank you, Andrew. This is really helpful and approaching my layout this way should accomplish what I’m trying to do here. Thank you so much for the quick response.
