Shortcode in Widget enabled ?
-
Hello,
I want to enter some shortcode in a Text Widget but it doesn’t work, the shortcode appears as normal text … Though I found the line in functions.php that should enables the shortcode :// Enable shortcodes in widgets add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode' );Is there anything you changed somewhere that I need to change ?
Thank you in advance

I’ve tried using adding a shortcode via text widget, no problems here.

Marking as resolved since I cant reproduce this. Let me know if you’ve further questionsHello eminozlem,
I’ve tried to include the form shortcode from Contact form 7 as in your example, and it’s working (I installed the plugin) 🙂
But I still have normal text when I want to use this kind of shortcode :
[display-posts category="carousel" posts_per_page="3"]
Or :
[map id='othermap' popup='false' html='My Location' height='400px' zoom='16' latitude='43.320392' longitude='-0.365741']Do you have the same problem or am I missing something ?
Thx for your timePlease change your theme and try again, if the widget works in another theme, but doesnt work in BSUL, report back and I’ll check with said plugin(s) -also please provide links to those-.
I can’t possibly test it with all plugins (:I tried in the original Twenty Fourteen WordPress theme and it still doesn’t work, but is it supposed to work so easy ?
I didn’t install any plugin, I thought the shortcode would work with this single line in a page or a widget :
[display-posts category="carousel" posts_per_page="3"]
But it displays as normal text, same for the [map id…] shortcode.
Thx for any explanation 🙂 (I also send you a direct link to my website by email)If it doesnt work with TwentyFourteen either, then it’s not a theme issue.
Btw, if you did not install a plugin how do you expect the shortcode to work , where did you get that shortcode from anyway ?
