Short does not appear in widget
5 replies · Started by Anonymous on June 14, 2015
When I am using a shortcode in a sidebar text widget, the results of the shortcode are being executed properly, but are appearing out side of the formatted widget and before the the widget. The plain text seems to show up fine.
Why would this occur?
Can you link me to an example possibly?
It is on a testing server. Is there any way I can PM the address to you?
Looks to me like the shortcode function isn't developed properly.
Are you using a plugin for it, or did you develop it yourself?
If you did it yourself, can you paste the code into a pastebin and post it here so I can see? http://pastebin.com/
I think I titled this wrong - it should say "shortcode does not appear in text widget"
This was an error in the shortcode coding - shortcodes need to be returned instead of echoed, or they can appear out of place.
