 * Thanks for the great plugin!
 * Is there a trick to getting shortcodes to execute in custom sidebars? I’ve tried
   a few things, but shortcodes in widgets that are included in custom sidebars 
   are never processed.
 * Thanks!

 * Hello there [@majorrobot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/majorrobot/),
 * hope you’re doing good today! 🙂
 * Just tested a little Hustle shortcode, inside a Text element, using the Text 
   editor, and worked just fine.

 * Can you give this a try like this and see how that goes?
    If you’re already doing
   this, which plugin and shortcode are you trying to use? Please advise!
 * Warm regards,
    Dimitris

 * Sorry for the delay! It took a little while to work things out. The issue I was
   seeing had to do with the widgets themselves and not Custom Sidebars. (It was
   very confusing because the shortcodes appeared to work / not work inconsistently.)
 * Thank you — this should be resolved!
