 * I have WooCommerce 2.2.2. I just changed servers to GoDaddy Managed WordPress,
   upgraded to WordPress 4.0. Everything was working, but when I changed the NameServers,
   this shortcode stopped working:
 * [product_categories parent=”1″ columns=”3″ orderby=”name” show_hidden=”1″]
 * I have it in a text widget to show on the home page. I added
 * `add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');`
 * in functions.php.
