Answers.Body: <p>To me this sounds like a custom plugin / extension job.</p>
  
  <p>Be advised of the following:
  1. Some versions of WordPress &amp; 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.</p>

  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.
