  I’m sorry, I am following your instructions as well as i can, but I still don’t understand how to create a progress bar widget using shortcode in a text widget. Here is what I have typed:
  add_filter( ‘widget_text’, ‘shortcode_unautop’); add_filter(‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’); [progpress title=”Days down, days to go” goal=”171″ current=”66″]. All I get is the actual typed text. It just shows the text iself. What am I not getting?

  Hi there. I believe you’re attempting to install a widget that can only be used on self-hosted WordPress.org sites. Third-party plugins cannot be utilized on WordPress.com-hosted sites.

  If the widget is very important to the functionality of your website, you could look into self-hosting as a possibility:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers!
