You could add this statement add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode'); to your wordpress themes functions.php file to make the shortcodes work in the Text Widget. You will need to replace "do_shortcode" with the name of your shortcode function. To use your shortcodes outside of posts, pages, and the text widget, you could always call your shortcode function directly like this: [code] $text = yourShortCodeFunction('[your shortcode tag here]'); echo $text; [/code] I'm not sure if the code will display here, always have problems posting code.
