Carousel not appearing in home page widget

    I’ve used the Owl carousel on the homepage (and inner pages) of many Studio Press themes and it’s always worked beautifully. Last week, I added Owl to a Wellness Pro homepage and it worked fine. Today, I’m starting a new site, also with the Wellness Pro theme, and only the shortcode appears in the widgets. I’ve compared the settings on the two sites and they are identical. Any ideas? This project is critical to me and I’m at my wit’s end.

    Hi there,

    Seeing the shortcode only typically happens because of a couple different things:

    1) Somehow there’s stray markup inside the shortcode that’s making it not render. Switch your editor to Text Mode to make sure the shortcode is clean of markup

    2) Maybe you pasted the shortcode into a text widget? If so, most likely your theme hasn’t added shortcode support to its text widgets. You can add that support by adding this line to your child theme’s functions.php file:
    add_filter('widget_text','do_shortcode');

    If neither of those are the case, then please provide a link to your site so I can see the problem live and a bit more context so I can dig in further.

    Thanks!
