 * I’m no longer able to use the short code in a widget. I’m forced to use the “
   pre designed” widget, which doesn’t allow for the same flexibility. Is this a
   code change to what is permissible with the free version. This seemed to take
   effect on 2/7/14 around 2am EST. prior to that it worked fine. now the text of
   the code shows up in my widgets instead of my desired photo album.
