 * Below the about me on the homepage I would like to use some shortcode but the
   widget doesn’t support it. Is there anything I can do about that?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshortcode-in-widgets-5%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Add below code in functions.php and then you will be able to add shortcode directly
   in Widget.
 * `add_filter('widget_text','do_shortcode');`

 * Yes, it’s in a particular plugin – in the Our Team section there is a title and
   description. I am trying to add it into the description box.
 * The shortcode I am using is:
 *     ```
       [time-restrict-repeat type="daily" ontime="00:00:00" offtime="11:59:59"]
       Good morning[/time-restrict-repeat] [time-restrict-repeat type="daily" ontime="12:00:00" offtime="17:00:00"] Good afternoon[/time-restrict-repeat] [time-restrict-repeat type="daily" ontime="17:00:01" offtime="23:59:59"] Good evening[/time-restrict-repeat] and welcome to my website.  My name is Faye McKee and I set up Soothing Soul Holistic Therapies in 2017.
       ```

 * and welcome to my website. My name is Faye McKee and I set up Soothing Soul Holistic
   Therapies in 2017.
 * seems you need to show above content too in shortcode. Please try with this once.
 *     ```
       [time-restrict-repeat type="daily" ontime="00:00:00" offtime="11:59:59"]Good morning[/time-restrict-repeat]
       [time-restrict-repeat type="daily" ontime="12:00:00" offtime="17:00:00"] Good afternoon[/time-restrict-repeat]
       [time-restrict-repeat type="daily" ontime="17:00:01" offtime="23:59:59"] Good evening and welcome to my website.  My name is Faye McKee and I set up Soothing Soul Holistic Therapies in 2017.[/time-restrict-repeat]
       ```

 * I have made changes in last line. The code that you provided, has last line where
   shortcode gets closed still content has been added.
 * Try with above code provided and let me know if it works.
