 * I have used this plugin on numerous websites before. I have installed the latest
   version, and when I create a widget area, the **GET SHORTCODE** and **GET CODE**
   links are not showing up.

 * By default, widget text is not checked for the presence of shortcodes. But you
   can enable shortcodes in widgets using this line which is best placed in functions.
   php for your child theme.
 *     ```
       add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
       ```
