Hi Chris,

It should be possible. One way to do it would be to hardcode a shortcode right into the sidebar template, but here’s a more flexible solution:

The first step would be to add shortcode support to the text widget. Either create your own custom functionality plugin, or drop this function into the theme’s functions file:

if (!is_admin())
  add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode', 11);

The place the [ESPRESSO_REG_FORM] or [ESPRESSO_REG_PAGE] shortcode into the text widget. Be sure to use the event ID like [ESPRESSO_REG_FORM event_id=1]

Then install the widget logic plugin and write a conditional to exclude the registration form from the page(s) that have event shortcodes like [ESPRESSO_EVENTS], [ESPRESSO_TXN_PAGE], [ESPRESSO_PAYMENTS] and [SINGLE_EVENTS].

If your theme has a page template that displays the page content without a sidebar, this could be used instead of the widget logic.
