Shortcodes in Sidebars
Closed

  • Moz started the conversation
    Until I updated from 2.5.1 to 3.1, I was using button shortcodes in sidebars. I was also using a plugin to add extra sidebars (as unlimited sidebars aren't supported in Salient). For some reason, the shortcodes in sidebars stopped working after the upgrade. Fortunately, there's a simple plugin that restores this function. Just wondering if this is a known issue?

    Hey Moz!

    Shortcodes have never been able to be used in widgets by default - it was always required to enter this into the functions.php if you want to:

    add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

    Cheers :)
