Hi @trobaz
The text widget doesn’t allow shortcodes. Our plugin includes a few widgets that you can use directly though.

Yes, I noticed those widgets. So I guess the next question would be how can I get that specific shortcode to work in the widget area? Thank you.

If you really want to add custom shortcodes, there are ways to make sure you can add shortcodes to text widgets too. If you Google you’ll stumble upon some easy ways to do it.

As a workaround, I added this code to the child theme’s functions.php
add_filter( ‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’ );
then I used the Custom HTML Widget. It worked except it displays inline output only, regardless of what’s in the Settings. Thank you.
