 * Why another plugin with single line of code, that should go to functions.php?
   🙂
 * Two same solutions in plugins repo:
    [http://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcodes-anywhere/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcodes-anywhere/)
   [http://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcodes-in-sidebar-widgets/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcodes-in-sidebar-widgets/)
 * NHF, just asking 😉

 * Valid comment.
 * Not all users are comfortable editing any files at all. As well, adding the snippet
   to the functions.php requires website owners to remember to add the snippet when
   the theme is changed.
 * I would also point out that any snippet that is geared toward the entire website,
   and not the specific theme, should be in a plugin, rather than the functions.
   php
 * Shortcodes Anywhere – Not exactly the same.
    Shortcode in Sidebar Widgets – The
   same, but listed as compatible up to 3.5, so I released a plugin that is current.
