Shortcode not working in widget

Hi,

I love this plugin! Thanks so much for it. I have tried multiple other plugins and have not been able to get them to work the way I want.

I only have 1 minor issue now and was wondering if you could help me. I have done the following:

Added the filter add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode' ); to my functions.php file to be able to work the shortcode in a widget.

I also have the following in my CSS file for styling:
.display-posts-listing .listing-item {text-transform: uppercase; font-size: 0.5em; display: inline-block;}
.display-posts-listing img {float: center; margin: 0 20px 5px 0; text-align: center;}

I then added the following shortcode to a text widget: [display-posts tag="featured female" post_status="publish" image_size="thumbnail" posts_per_page="3" orderby="rand"]

and it doesn’t seem to be working. I am using the same shortcode on a page and it works. I am not sure if it has something to do with the following function which I added to my functions.php file as well:

//----------------------------------------------------------
// POsts by Tag Shortcode plugin: add H2 to title //----------------------------------------------------------
add_filter( 'posts_by_tag_shortcode_output', 'format_pbts_title', 10, 7 );
function format_pbts_title( $output, $atts, $image, $title, $date, $excerpt, $inner_wrapper ) {
// Make Title and H2
$title = ' <h2>'. $title .'</h2>';
// Now let's rebuild the output.
$output = '<' . $inner_wrapper . ' class="listing-item">' . $image . $title . $date . $excerpt . '</' . $inner_wrapper . '>';
// Finally we'll return the modified output
return $output; }

I did the above to get the title under the thumbnail. Any help on getting the shortcode to work in the widget would be great. Thanks in advance!
