How to Use Shortcodes In WordPress Widgets

By default, WordPress does not allow the use of shortcodes in widgets. This is not a big problem as WordPress also makes it easy for the User to enable this functionality. If role-provided to do so, the User will need to add a line to the functions.php file. 


add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');


Or need to add shortcodes to the widget title


add_filter( 'widget_title', 'do_shortcode' );
