    That’s a WordPress problem, not a problem with our plugin. WordPress, by default, will not process shortcodes in widgets.

    However, this is easy to add. Edit your theme’s functions.php file and add this line near the bottom.

    add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

    Hi Daniel

    Thanks for the quick reply. Yes I’ve actually read that artcile. I’m not very familiar with php. I opened the functions.php file placed their code at the bottom of the page and i received this message:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in /home/primal10/public_html/explorenowworldtravel.com/wp-content/themes/socrates/functions.php on line 289

    This time I did it again and placed it below everything else as seen here: https://i.imgur.com/6bBwvVC.png

    but this time, the site didn’t crash and I didnt need to access FTP to change to delete the code, but nothing has appeared unfortunately. Any idea why?

    Thanks again for the quick reply!

    That should do it. Are you sure you edited the right theme?

    Alternatively, you could find a plugin that enabled shortcodes in widgets/sidebars.

    Thanks Daniel. I did the latter and found another shortcode widget that worked for me. Thanks for replying!
