Widgets not appearing on page when using shortcodes

    I’m attempting to use the shortcodes create for some widgets that are part of the theme. However they wont display. If I use a simple default wordpress widget, it will display. Is my theme somehow over-riding or not allowing the plugin to work with it’s widgets?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    This is happening because the PHP classname registered by the theme and the actual class name do not match. For example, for the About widget there is:

    
function transfers_about_widgets() {
	register_widget( 'transfers_About_Widget' );
}

// Widget class.
class transfers_about_widget extends WP_Widget {
...
}

    Notice the transfers_about_widget name and transfers_About_Widget do not match. If you make them the same it will work as expected.
    Please contact the theme authors and ask them to fix this.
