Form tag not executing in widget? « Gravity Support Forums

Hi there,
I found that the standard form tag for pages wont execute in a widget or template:
```
[gravityform id="3" name="Income Protection Comparisons" title="false" description="false" ajax="true"]
```
Then I found this code which works in a template, but still not in a widget:
```
<?php gravity_form($id=3, $display_title=true, $display_description=true, $display_inactive=false, $field_values=null, $ajax=true, $tabindex); ?>
```
I'm placing the tag in a Text widget because the form needs to be embedded in some other html, hence I can't use the form widget...

I'm using the Widget Controller plugin to assign the widget to certain pages.

I REALLY hope there's a way to make this work!

Many thanks in advance.

(Btw - the salesforce integration feature is gold!! :)

It's possible your theme has not enabled shortcodes in widgets. You can add this code to your theme's functions.php to ensure that shortcodes are processed in widgets:
```
[php]
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
```

PHP code will not be processed in a text widget but you can use a PHP widget. I use this plugin for that purpose all the time: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-code-widget/

Finally, the Salesforce add-on for Gravity Forms was not created by us. Here is a link to the plugin page in case anyone is looking for it: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-salesforce/
