Deactivating Plugin breaks my theme

    Greetings,

    When I deactivate the Theme Switcha plugin it breaks my theme. In my theme, I have Widgets: Extra Header Widget Area where I use custom html: [insert page=’header’ display=’content’]. When the plugin is activated it displays that content fine, but when I deactivate it, all I get is the text displayed “[insert page=’header’ display=’content’]” on the frontend of my site. I might be missing something simple here, but I just can’t figure it out. Any suggestions?

    Problem solved! I was able to add this to my child theme’s functions.php:

    add_filter(‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’);

    Now, I was able to deactivate the plugin. Not sure why this happened. I’ve been using this plugin for years.
