[Plugin: ContactMe] Form in Sidebar

    Has anyone successfully added the contactme form in the sidebar? I’m attempting to place it there using the shortcode in a text widget. I love the recaptcha support of this plugin (which made me switch from contact form 7), but really need to get it in the sidebar.

    shortcodes only work in posts and pages where they can be filtered and replaced with the correct form.
    They will not work with text widgets.

    If you can find a widget that can display a post in the sidebar you might be able to get it working like you want.

    Thanks for the quick reply. So I’ve added
    <?php echo do_shortcode('[ContactMe form="Sidebar"]'); ?>
    into the page template file and it does not work. Any other ideas without adding it to a post?

    UPDATE:
    As you suggested, I created a new blank post then inserted this into the sidebar portion of the page template which worked:
    <?php query_posts('p=206'); if(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    <?php the_content(); ?>

    <?php endif; ?>

    Thanks for your assistance!
