 * Shortcodes are now gutenberg blocks.
 * The calendar shortcode got replaced by the [date] calendar in forms. As best 
   built your form template again from default.

 * The blocks do add a shortcode. Maybe you can somehow read it out of the page 
   and insert it into a widget?

 * So I’ll have to uninstall Classic Editor to use Guttenburg to generate a shortcode…
 * Does anybody use Guttenberg anymore?

 * Statistically classic is dying. We also noticed it with reports. New users simply
   did not know about classic and could not find the shortcode creator at all.

 * Figured out display by changing Settings > General > Currency position.
 * Doesn’t display properly if you select: Left with space.
 * So only issue now is the widget on non-booking pages: [https://ritaavecowes.com/rita-ave-cowes-phillip-island/](https://ritaavecowes.com/rita-ave-cowes-phillip-island/)

    Thanks for reporting. Regards

 * On further inspection I cannot reproduce this. The shortcode works fine in the
   text widget on any page. Please try to switch to standard theme and disable all
   other plugins one after another to see what’s causing it.
    Regards
