 * I tried to enclose between [cookie] and [/cookie] a shortcode (generated by “
   Easy Facebook Plugin”) in a widget, but the widget displays the shortcode as 
   plain text.

 * Hi [@sbertini](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sbertini/),
    the plugin is
   still in beta, but i can confirm that in normal conditions works with widget.
 * Could you post the exact text you are using?
    Thank You MM

 * Hi,
    this should be fixed now. There were some problems with shortcodes activation
   in widgets.
