widgets_on_pages not working

Hello i'm using widgets_on_pages to place widgets on pages, i installed it and added a widget to the panel in my开发者_开发百科 admin section, then i added [widgets_on_pages id=2] ("its the 2nd sidebar and it said i should add this") into my html on the place where the widget should appear but it only shows the code i added in pure text, nothing else happens, anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

If I understand correctly then the following applies... if not, apologies.

You should not need to do it this way. It seems that Vincent, you are trying to add the shortcode into a theme php file... this is incorrect and the shortcode is for adding into the page/post content by the post/page editor.

To add a Widgets on Pages sidebar to a template then v 0.0.7 (I believe) has built in template tags (see link text). This should allow you to add the following I think

<?php widgets_on_template("2"); ?>

Try this

<?php echo do_shortcode('[widgets_on_pages id=2]'] ?>
