 * Thank you for your work on this plugin!
    The widget, where users log into their
   account has a code shown as seen in the screenshot: [https://i.imgur.com/0CvWmJK.png](https://i.imgur.com/0CvWmJK.png)
   How can I get the usual behavior back, so users can log in? This started after
   the update to 2.1.19.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Funknown-form_id%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * You can use this plugin to do a rollback to an older version of UM:
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rollback/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rollback/)
 * The plugin will give you a new link in the list for all your installed plugins
   
   to rollback to any old versions.

 * Thanks for the suggestion, I actually have Rollback installed and had forgotten
   about it. Unfortunately, the downgrade did not resolve the issue. Does anybody
   know what could have caused this?

 * Hi [@fethomm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fethomm/)
 * Does your theme support shortcode in the widget? It looks like it doesn’t apply
   the shortcode to the widget that’s why it only shows the plain text.

 * I read a lot on the weekend and tried to set my login/register widget up again
   after it being broken after moving WordPress to a new server. Instead of the 
   shortcodes, that I enter into the widgets text field in the backend providing
   the functionality it is supposed to, it just prints the shortcode in the widget
   on the website. (see screenshot link in my opening post). Any idea why this happens?
   Would removing and reinstalling the plugin be an option. What do I have to backup
   to keep my members during the reinstall?

 * Thanks for coming back to me. It worked for a couple of months on the old server
   with the same theme, and it worked for ~ a week on the new server with the current
   theme. Unfortunately, I do not know exactly when it stopped. But there was no
   update of the theme involved. And contact forms still work, so it should not 
   be the theme, as far as I understand.
 * Besides that, it works just fine to add the forms to the menus, no problem there.
   But that is not where they need to be.

 * Hi [@fethomm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fethomm/)
 * Could you please try this plugin and add the UM form shortcode?

 * Let’s see if this issue still occurs.
