Hey everybody I want to let you know that I have undertaken the grueling task of getting the heck away from WordPress. I was so sick of the problems and updates I had to do all the time. I am now using my ezbloo system and I am integrating all my old posts into the new system. It sucks, but in the end, I will save bundles of time. I needed to keep things simple and that is why I created ezbloo. I'll have more on this later for you guys after I am done with the total integration of my old posts here. So if you are looking for a post and need it faster, shoot me an email and I will make it a priority. [email protected]

You installed a plugin and then you try to use the shortcode on your sidebar. It does not show up, what do you do? Well here is a series of short codes that you will add to your functions.php file. By adding the following short codes you will  be able to execute scripts from plugins anywhere in your WordPress CMS.

Enable Short Codes in Sidebars and Text Widgets

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

Enable Short Codes in template Files

  
<?php do_shortcode('[foo]'); ?>

Enable Short Codes in Comments

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

Enable Short Codes in Categories, tags and Archive Pages

  
add_filter( 'term_description', 'shortcode_unautop');
add_filter( 'term_description', 'do_shortcode' );
These codes will help you use shortcodes everywhere in WordPress. Because of security measures WordPress disables many of them by default.
