Please try enqueuing them when your widget loads using gravity_form_enqueue_scripts.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gravity_form_enqueue_scripts" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gravity_form_enqueue_scripts</a></p> <p>You're basically doing this (although you are using do_shortcode not the function call):<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Embedding_A_Form#Function_Call" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Embedding_A_Form#Function_Call</a> </p> <p>When you include a Gravity Form like that, you have to include the scripts yourself.</p> <p>Gravity Forms was not designed to be used in the admin area, so this may not work properly even after you enqueue the scripts. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/make-shortcode-work-in-dashboard-widget#post-144347 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 17:53:03 +0000 satori83 144347@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have added code to include a custom dashboard widget, but it ends up a bit funny....<br /> <pre><code>add_action(&#39;wp_dashboard_setup&#39;, &#39;my_custom_dashboard_widgets&#39;); function my_custom_dashboard_widgets() { global $wp_meta_boxes; wp_add_dashboard_widget(&#39;custom_help_widget&#39;, &#39;Get Support&#39;, &#39;custom_dashboard_help&#39;); } function custom_dashboard_help() { echo do_shortcode(&#39;[gravityform id=&quot;1&quot; name=&quot;Customer Support&quot;]&#39;); }</code></pre> <p>Heres what it looks like..<br /> <a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9832993/shortcode.png" rel="nofollow">https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9832993/shortcode.png</a></p> <p>How can I make those edit/delete options go away? </p>
