Our pediatrician at the time, who was pretty stern, said "Put it on me. Tell her that Dr. Peter will be VERY disappointed if she doesn't use the potty".
It worked. She never used a diaper again.

Potty training is tricky even if there aren't physical issues. My two youngest were trained by 2, my oldest wet the bed until he was 7. It kept him from going to sleep overs, etc. I used to cry about it I felt so bad for him, so helpless to help. But he's a motocross stud teenager with a hot Latina girlfriend now. It's tough being a parent.
