 * When I try to do
 * echo do_shortcode(‘[testimonials_widget id=”6″]’);
 * in a theme file it only outputs the text
 * testimonials_widget_shortcode_replacement_6
 * instead of the normal widget output that appears when I add the shortcode to 
   a page or post.
 * Any ideas?

 * [@lydia_b](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lydia_b/) I am really sorry for
   the delay in response. From where did you get this shortcode? We don’t have this
   shortcode and instead of this you can use `echo do_shortcode('[testimonials]');`
   or to check more shortcode you can use this shortcode in your theme template 
   file `echo do_shortcode('[testimonials_examples]');` or in WP page `[testimonials_examples]`
 * Lastly, are you positive you are using [https://wordpress.org/plugins/testimonials-widget/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/testimonials-widget/)
   plugin?
