    Hello,

    For a client I need to implement a list of references which contains the following:
    – Title
    – Short description
    – Link to the external reference

    My current thought is the following:
    1. Put the list in a post, retrieve it using:

    $references_post = get_post($id);
$content = $references_post->post_content;

    etc.
    2. add_shortcode() & add_filter() in functions.php
    3. use the shortcode in a sidebar text-widget

    Can you please advise on this apporach, and suggest better solutions if there are.

    Best regards,

    Hello There,

    Thanks for posting in.
    Your approach is fine and will give you total control on how you want it to appear on your sidebar.
    I also found this:https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-in-widget/. No coding needed just use a page instead. Just note that integration issues should be directed to plugin developer. Thank you for understanding.
