    Hi there,

    I am trying to call a static block form the sidebar widget via a shortcode which happily works in a post:
    [block id="6646"]
    But when I use it in the “About Author” widget Bio section it literally rendered as “[block id=”6646″]” rather than running the shortcode serverside.

    Is there a way I can sort this? I have missapplied in the context of a widget?

    Thanks!

    R.

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, you can’t use static block shortcode in About author widget. But you may edit static block and display all the information Autor bio + other content you need.
