468x60 Ad Block - Shortcode?

I've tried adding a line of shortcode from AdRotate (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/adrotate/) into the 468x90 Ad Block from the Lifestyle Theme Option menu.

The problem I'm having is that the shortcode is just being displayed as pure text, for example: [adrotate group="1"]

instead I've had to go in and ad the php code directly into the theme - which works. Does anyone know why WP shortcodes aren't accepted into the ad block or how to make them work (much easier to manage!)?

Cheers!

the sidebar does not accept shortcode, however if you add this to your functions.php right before the closing ?> you can make a text widget accept shortcode

PHP Code:


		
			
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

Excellent - will this also enable shortcode for the 468x90 Ad Block (the one between a post and the comments in a blog)?

This isn't a widget, it's the one under SETTINGS > Lifestyle Theme Option menu.

Cheers!

try this to add your shortcode there

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

 echo apply_filters('the_content', '[shortcode here]'); 

?>
