 * The plugin works fine in a post but when using shortcode in a widget the navigation
   and slideshow functions are gone. It’s stuck on the first slide (Instagram) and
   although the navigations buttons turns up on hovering, nothing happens when you
   click them.
 * Anyone got a solution for this? It seems like a great plugin but I need to use
   it in widgets.
 * Thanks

 * Hi Lagemyr and 10rous,
 * You can install this plugin first: [http://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcodes-in-sidebar-widgets/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcodes-in-sidebar-widgets/)
 * Once you install it, put your slidewizard shortcode on the text widget
