If you want to have a contact form in the sidebar, make a new post, put the contact form in that post, then include the post in the sidebar using the following tip:

ianstapleton,
Cheers for posting the solution to this, just came across this problem again and came back on the off chance someone had replied to this post.

I can’t beleive how much time I wasted last time looking for a solution to this, installed multiple version of wordpress and all sorts.

I haven’t solved this problem, but rather made a workaround based on another reply I found on these forums.

Instead of creating a template and the creating a page in wordpress based on this template, I just added the following to the top of my file:

<?php
/* Don’t remove this line. */
require($_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’].’/wp-blog-header.php’);
?>

and then just following this just create the page like it was a wordpress template.

Then, to get pretty URLS I manually added the .htaccess entries to point to the file in my theme folder, for instance:

RewriteRule admin$ /wp-content/themes/mytheme/my_custom_template.php [L]

this sends anyone who goes to mysite.com/admin to mysite.com/wp-content/themes/mytheme/my_custom_template.php

and it finally works.

If anyone needs any help let me know.
