Add Wordpress shortcode on page without 'get_header'

I'm trying to add just a wordpress plug-in widget to a page. No blog, no template or anything, just the widget. I can get the widget to load properly, but it's pulling in a bunch of styles that are over-riding my current CSS. Is there an easy way do this without having to create a custom page?

<?
  require( '../blog/wp-load.php' );
  get_header();
?>
..//..
<? 
  do_shortcode('[my shortcode]'); 
?>

I tried removing the get_header(), but the widget won't pull any data. Is there a way to just get the Wordpress functionality running right?

Solution

  • Glad it worked for you. Find the js and css requirements of the widget and add it to the page manually. This will remove the requirement for the get_header() function.
