You might not need this plugin. Its core job is small enough to live in your theme's functions.php.

Show the snippet

add_shortcode( 'showmodule', function( $atts ) {
    $atts = shortcode_atts( [ 'id' => 0 ], $atts, 'showmodule' );
    $id   = absint( $atts['id'] );
    if ( ! $id ) {
        return '';
    }
    $post = get_post( $id );
    if ( ! $post || 'et_pb_layout' !== $post->post_type ) {
        return '';
    }
    return do_shortcode( $post->post_content );
} );

Keep in mind:Assumes the Divi Builder is active and will process its own shortcodes inside the retrieved content.

Concentration and drive-by metrics drive the review-burst and fake-review flags. 30–40% solo reviewers is normal; we only flag the extremes.
