    I’ve been able to successfully use this short code to add the Squeeze link within a post.

    [wp_eStore_free_download_ajax:product_id:5:end]

    However, I don’t want it in a post but on a sidebar. I use the Head Theme and I’ve tried the following leaves: Text, Text Lead, and HTML/PHP/

    But what I get is just a display of the short code.

    Can this be done? If so, please share the steps.

    Appreciate,

    John…

    These two posts will help:

    Using PHP on the Sidebar or Widget (example: to display a button)

    Thanks, I’ll review and fingers crossed. Did I say again how great the product is? But more importantly is the support and excellent documentation. I love the short and to the point videos that accompany most aspects of these tools.

    Just fantastic!!!

    Appreciate,

    OK, I have read and tried all ideas and I get the same result.

    I have added the plugin PHP Widgetify. I’ve drag & dropped the widget into the sidebar area. I’ve added the short code:

    [wp_eStore_free_download_ajax:product_id:5:end] (actually I tried both the Ajax and normal versions)

    I have a product setup with a download link, etc.

    And I continue to get the short code displayed.

    Also, when the Squeeze article says: “Don’t forget to fill the ‘Button Image URL’ field when you add the product. this image will be shown as the ‘download now/Get Now’ button. The plugin comes with a download button (download_icon.png) that is stored in the images directory of the plugin”

    If it already has a default button do I need to add one? I haven’t!

    If someone could put togther a video showing the complete process it would save a lot of time!

    Anymore ideas?

    Thanks,

    John…

    If you need to see what I’m talking about look at this page:

    http://www.islmusic.com/videos

    scroll down on the right side to the last widget in the sidebar.

    The site is a continuing work in progress so keep that in mind.

    Thanks,

    “…now you can execute PHP too!”

    Instead of using the eStore short code [wp_eStore_free_download_ajax:product_id:5:end] you must use the PHP function <?php echo eStore_free_download_form(5); ?> instead, as per:

    If this works it’s another example of missing some very mall tag enclosure. A video would really help. Which is where you guys shine!

    I’ll let you know if this works. Fingers crossed.

    Thanks,

    Thanks that worked. I also reviewed the docs.Once again I failed to see the php section towards the bottom of the squeeze page article.

    So again I missed it. Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

    Appreciate your help,

    John…
