# Shortcode in widget doesn't work

 * If you’re using the shortcode in a widget, the calendar won’t display. I even
   tried turning on the option “Always Enqueue.” However, if I view the calendar
   page then my widget works (while the calendar page is also being displayed).
 * So A) you aren’t detecting a calendar being used in a widget with shortcode, 
   and B) Always Enqueue doesn’t appear to be completely working, or C) some combination
   thereof 🙂

 * Are you using the widget bundled with the plugin or some kind of text widget 
   with the shortcode pasted in it?
 * Can you post a link to the page in question also so I can look?
 * Thanks!

 * I utilize the text widget + shortcode because I need other stuff in the widget
   box along with the calendar.
 * I spent a lot of time on a development site transitioning all of my modifications
   to GCE to work with the new version. This widget issue + event info while hovering
   in widget are currently what’s holding me back from upgrading on my production
   site.

 * If you have a link with the new version, with the always enqueue option enabled
   I would be glad to take a look and see if I can find anything that might be causing
   an issue.

   us know if you have any further questions.
