    Hi I’ve followed all the pre-requistites to test the plugin prior to this submission and everything is as it should be.

    I had a shortcode in a text widget in the footer of my site(catchbox theme). It was working perfectly and without any updates/changes it stopped working and now just shows the short code. The shortcode works if it is in a page or post.

    I’ve tried lots of things but am stumped. Any assistance would be welcomed.

    The text widget doesn’t have the functionality to run shortcodes without some modification. You need to add add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode'); to your functions.php file.

    Thanks elkirkmo, that should do the trick nicely. Bizarrely it did work for a couple of weeks then stopped working – one of those things!
