Reply To: Widgets?

@ Paul

This is unlikely related to Connections. By default the text widgets do not support shortcodes. Usually the theme or a plugin will add a filter which enables the processing of shortcodes. Connections never added this filter, so something else did. Have you updated any other plugins, removed a plugin, updated the theme or changed themes?

You can manually re-add this filter by adding the following to the theme’s functions.php file.

add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode' );

I hope this helps!
