 * Old shortcodes would fail. Shortcodes just give page numbers and no reviews in
   sidebar widgets and nothing in the old reviews page. The solution that worked
   for me was to “activate” review submission page – locate permission settings 
   below text edit window and check the box to activate. Activating this page somehow
   allowed the shortcode to work in the widget as well.
