 * Where used:
 * “In Widgets used in Sidebars, **Menus**, Headers, Footers, etc.”
 * I want to use a shortcode (pop-up contact form) as a menu item. I was hoping 
   this would do it…

 * I am the original author of this plugin, though David has adopted it and provides
   support now. You would need to select, on the Settings page, “In Widgets used
   in Sidebars, Menus, Headers, Footers, etc.”.
 * As I recall, I tested shortcodes in both widgets and menu entries, but only creating
   text, like the current year. So, as they say, “it should work”.
 * I’m no longer in a position where I can do detailed tests, so would suggest that
   you report back here if you run into any problems.

 * It must have changed… I see:
 * In Widgets — includes most Widgets, Sidebars and Footers
 * No menus.

 * Sorry, Ron, give me an hour and I’ll see what I can dig up. Memory fades, especially
   at my age….

 * OK, here is what I know now. The following works:
    - a text-generating shortcode
    - inserted in Navigation Label of a Page entry in a Custom Menu
    - controlled by this plugin’s “includes Page and Post titles everywhere except
      <title> (“the_title” filter)” checkbox
 * David may have other thoughts, but I am going to have to leave this for you to
   experiment with. Best way to experiment is to set (checkmark) all the checkboxes
   on the Settings page. If it works, then figure out which checkbox(es) are doing
   the job for you. If it doesn’t work, please respond so that David can add it 
   to the list of items for the next version(s) of this and his other plugins.

 * I’ve gone ahead and recorded this as a bug report, for the next time I do a set
   of updates.

 * P.S. Marking as resolved because it’s on my list.

 * I tested and it works when setting “Where?” to the 1st “In Titles” option. Check
   out: [http://screencast.com/t/x1AgGXTL](http://screencast.com/t/x1AgGXTL)
 * Maybe your can change the description that it says it includes menus?
 * Thanks for the awesome plugin and keep up the good work!
