I'm using Advanced Text Widget to add some php code in my sidebar. The code works fine everywhere except on single posts. I just can't figure out why!!
The blog (in swedish) is found on http://8bygder.se/. The widget with the code is named "Sagt och skrivet i media" and the code that doesn't work on single posts is hidden behind "8 Bygder, ett projekt med ungdomar" (MP3-jPlayer, which btw doesn't seem to work at all in Chromium).
Please help me!

Hi there,
I am not sure if I understand the problem correctly. I went to the link you provided, I clicked on a single post http://8bygder.se/2012/01/bilder-fran-vika/ and I can see the Advanced Text widget with the "SAGT OCH SKRIVET I MEDIA" content just fine. Here is a screenshot I made http://screencast.com/t/j3DhLaNwmR (that's a single post).
BTW, I'm using Google Chrome for Windows.

That's the strange thing here. The text is still visible but on single posts there is no link to the mp3 player as everywhere else :-(

Ok, I guess I see what you're talking about now. So, the first item in the widget is a Radio link.
How the player functions? Is that a JavaScript, Flash, or HTML5? I can see the source code for it is pretty much the same as on other pages.
Can you paste the code you're using in that widget?

This is the player: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mp3-jplayer/ It's not really a radio link, it just plays an mp3 I've uploaded to the media library. I use the text player [mp3t] to achive what I want - basically a hidden player that won't show until you click the link.
For me it works in Firefox, Epiphany and the default Android browser on my phone, but unfortunately not in Chromium (but that's another problem).
And here's the code:

Trying the code again:

Ok. First of all I would like to clarify - the PHP execution can not "not to work" only on certain pages. You can specify where the widget should appear, but not selectively execution of PHP. You can test it by using some other PHP expressions like
<?php
echo "<h2>Test</h2>";
?>If that works, that means the issue is not in the Widget, but rather in the code you're using.
Second - I noticed that your PHP expression doesn't end with semicolon ";". See line #4 in your paste bin example.
Third, have you tried simply using the shortcode instead of the PHP?

Thanks!
Your PHP works, of course... The error must be somewhere else. It would have been easier if it didn't work at all but now it's only in single posts it doesn't. I reallyt don't get it!
...and the missing semicolon didn't do the trick ;-)
I really want to use the shortcode instead of PHP but it only works in posts or pages, not in text widgets. Therefore I had to install Advanced Text widget to use PHP which made it almost all the way...
Thanks for your help! I guess we won't come any further in this :-(
My initial solution was to add an mp3 player with some kind of pop up interface showing up after clicking the link (like the picture in the link "Ungdomars servicebehov i glesbygd kartläggs" does). But I couldn't find one.

Another thing you could try - activate the WP_Debug in wp-config.php and see if there are any PHP Fatal Errors showing up on single posts (don't worry about the Warnings and Notices).
Also, have you tried adding the shortcode directly into the content of the single post? See if it shows up there? I'm just wondering if a single post doesn't have some kind of global variable or something... so it can't retrieve the content.
You might want to test this situation on a fresh install of WordPress - simply adding widget on Hello World single post. Just to check if it works.
Finally, try contacting the Author of the MP3 Player plugin - checkout their support thread, see if anyone has similar issues that you have on your site.
