Comment (by bobbingwide):

 Replying to [comment:3 westonruter]:
 > The filter priorities probably need to be modified so that shortcodes
 are processed earlier than `wpautop`.

 It's the other way round. Shortcodes need to be processed after wpautop.

 This is a bit of a challenge for two reasons
 1. `widget_text` is invoked before `widget_text_content`
 2. We can't guarantee that `widget_text_content` gets invoked.

 Therefore I can't simply change the original code
 {{{
 add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode' );
 }}}
 to
 {{{
 add_filter('widget_text_content', 'do_shortcode', 20 );
 }}}

 So I need to implement a different solution to disable the
 `widget_text_content` filter functions when shortcodes have been detected
 in the widget content.


 PS. There's a typo in the 23 May post; line beaks.
