All Widgets come as Widgets, Shortcodes or Blocks. Learn more about our Super Duper Widgets.

The Post Content widget is used to output content from any textarea field including the main Description field with the key ‘post_content’.  The main use of this plugin is to partially output or limit the content output in some way, this is best seen in the GD Archive Item template where it is used to make the content heights match and give all items the same height.

The GD > Post Meta can be used to fully output the full value of any textarea type field. GD > Post Content is specifically for the GD Archive item template, for showing a max word count of a textarea type field.
