Slider shortcode showing, but no slider

I just disabled all other plugins to be sure. Didn’t fix anything.

Hi,

Can you try changing themes? Pretty sure that’ll be the issue.

Doesn’t look to be an issue with Meta Slider itself as the preview is working (the preview is just a simple page that runs the shortcode)

Hi,

Just spotted it looks like you’ve put the shortcode in a Widget. Widgets don’t actually process shortcodes, but its easy to make them do so, have a look here:

tldr; add this to your functions.php file ??

add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

That’s weird? It’s always been a shortcode inside of widget, and it worked for at least the past week. Strange.

I put in the code and it works now. Very odd, because this isn’t the only shortcode that I’ve called into widgets. And they all have worked for a few weeks now. Then this one all of a sudden doesn’t work anymore. Very odd.

Maybe another plugin was effectively adding that code for you, or a different theme was. Either way, glad its working now ??

ahh, yeah. That’s probably it. I deleted a few that I wasn’t using last night. Never though removing a plugin would break something. Usually the other way around.
