# Shortcode in widget area

 * Hi,
 * I have shortcode in Text Widget in sidebar, working perfectly, until recent WordPress
   update. Now the Amazon adds are getting multiple <p> and <br> lines in code –
   automatic widget formatting.
 * Can it be somehow sorted out?
    There is no check to not format widget area.
 * And another thing with that visual in widget area – Carousel is stacked vertically
   instead listing with arrows (not the problem with additional formatting).
 * Thanks!

 * OK, I have managed automatic formatting with cloning original code, and then 
   removing all carriage returns from code.
 * But now I have other problem – on main page, and in category pages, the items
   are stacked vertically, and on article pages are normal (with arrows).

 * Can you help me with that?

 * Another update – the arrows in widget area are only visible if I put shortcode
   also in the article.
 * Pages without the shortcode in the article are showing stacked items in widget
   sidebar area.
