only shortcode shows in text widget

Hi I’ve followed all the pre-requistites to test the plugin prior to this submission and everything is as it should be.

I had a shortcode in a text widget in the footer of my site(catchbox theme). It was working perfectly and without any updates/changes it stopped working and now just shows the short code. The shortcode works if it is in a page or post.

I’ve tried lots of things but am stumped. Any assistance would be welcomed.
