I can add a newsletter signup Profile shortcode to a page or post in Wordpress, but I'd like to have it show up on the sidebar. I put the shortcode into a text widget (the code is for our MailMunch signup is in a text widget) but the Civi shortcode doesn't work there.

Suggestions?
Thanks!

P.S. - This is a test site (but the payment processor is live!).
Have you tried just adding the HTML form snippet to the text widget? It's not as neat as adding a shortcode, but it should work okay.
Go to Administer CiviCRM > Profiles, then HTML Form Snippet under 'more' for your chosen snippet. Copy all the code there and paste it into your text widget.
To me this sounds like a custom plugin / extension job.
Be advised of the following: 1. Some versions of WordPress & CiviCRM only support one hook implementation across all plugins. I recommend building it in a civi extension to circumvent this. 2. Unless you are yourself a software developer, if you do need a custom plugin, I suspect you'd best recruit a freelancer. I'll happily bid, otherwise there's the excellent CiviCRM partnership organisations.
