Shortcode in sidebar.php + translations

[Pier]

Hello, I’m using the restaurant theme and I’m trying to add translations lines with qTranslate tags (e.g. [:en]) in the sidebar.php file to modify the opening hours widget.
Not being proficient in php I’m struggling to have it working as php just prints out everything, including qTranslate tags.
How can I solve it please?
Thank you.

Hi Pier,

The website is
http://www.alvoloitalianstreetfood.co.uk
and the page where the issue happens is:
http://www.alvoloitalianstreetfood.co.uk/it/contact-page/
Basically by using the page template “Left Sidebar” for that page the “sidebar.php” page has a php script:

    <?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-main' ) ) : ?>

        <aside id="archives" class="widget">

            <h3 class="widget-title">Opening Hours</h3>

            <?php echo do_shortcode('[time_table]

[time_table_row title="Monday" start="10:00 am - to - 08:00pm"]

which doesn’t allow me to add [:en] tags.

Hi,

You are not supposed to paste shortcode of multiple language within file but you are supposed to add it in widget.

Please check tutorials of qTranslate X for this.

Fair enough, my bad…
I’ve solved it by allowing shortcodes in widgets by adding a line in functions.php

add_filter('widget_text','do_shortcode');
