How do I display a Web Story in Elementor?

You can use the dedicated Web Stories Elementor widget. Just drag and drop the widget onto your page and configure your story options from the widget settings.

Can I display a single Web Story using a shortcode?

Where can I find the story ID for the single story shortcode?

When editing any Web Story, the story ID appears in the browser URL as post=123. Use that number as your story ID.

Why are my stories not showing?
