    Hi

    By default, the shortcode gets the ID of the current post.
    In the sidebar, you are “outside of the loop”, it cannot get the ID.

    A way to manage is putting the following code into the sidebar:

    if ( is_single() ) {
	global $post;
	if ( $post ) {
		echo do_shortcode('[attachments id='.$post->ID.']');
	}
}
