 * Hi
    I have downloaded this and I see where the short code is, which worked fine
   for posting a donation widget onto a page..
 * But if I want to make a donation widget with a heading down in my footer with
   my other widgets, what do I need to to? Or is this not possible?
 * I tried pasting the short code into the custom text widget, but it just showed
   up as the short code instead of the donation box.

 * Hi,
 * You would first need to modify your theme so the text widget will process shortcodes.
 * Here is a forum post explaining the process:
