I have been trying to add custom widgets using Shortcodes on the homepage but can’t get to work it. I want to add an Instagram feed widget called “Feed them social” but all I see is the shortcode getting displayed instead of the widget. I have attached a screenshot here for reference.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hello there,
I hope you are doing well today.
Please try adding a text widget and use that widget to contain the Instagram shortcode instead of the Shapely parallax section widget.
Best Regards,

Thanks.
But I don’t see the Text widget (even though I have installed a Shortcode widget plugin) in the list.
I have attached a screengrab of the available widgets in the list. How to get the text widget?
Hi there,
Thanks for keeping in touch with us.
I just did the following with another similar plugin and it works:
Go to Appearance > Widgets > Text > Add to Homepage Widget Area > Add your shortcode to the text widget > Save the widget > Reorder it to wherever you’d like to have it > Check your site.
Please try that and let me know how it turns out.
I hope this helps
Best Regards,

It worked. Thanks a lot for the prompt responses!
