   Hello, I am trying to add shortcode into my sidebar using a text widget for a simple button plugin.

   I have followed the steps outlined in this post, but nothing has worked so far : http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-a-new-shortcode

   The button shows up, but it is stripped of most of it's styling.

   Any ideas? So far I have test buttons encoded into my sidebar.php as a workaround, but they ignore the stylesheet and dont adhere to the framework of the page/sidebar as if they were properly used in a text widget. This poses headache upon headache as formatting for the page is now a complete chore.

   Also- in the functions.php there is no ?> closing tag. Why?

   thanks,

   Scott

   Hey,
   add following code to functions.php (i.e. at the very bottom):
   

   add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

   The ?> is not required at the end of the file that's why Kriesi skips it.

   I am having a similar issue and have added the following code to my functions.php:

   add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
   add_filter( 'widget_text', 'shortcode_unautop');

   After adding this, I can see the button created by the shortcode but I don't see the styling.

   Thanks!
