Shortcode needs HTML?

  • Hello!

    Backstory:
    I broke something when I upgraded my WordPress/plugins/themes without backing up anything (I know, I know), but in my frantic attempts to fix Problem 1 of what was broken, I also created a Problem 2 by disabling/activating several plugins and broke my sidebar widget.

    I use a great plugin to populate my twitter feeds, known as Custom Twitter Feeds. When I disabled/reactivated Gutenberg, the feeds wouldn’t come back and NONE of my shortcodes, for that matter, were working, not just my Custom Twitter Feeds.

    I downgraded to 8.6.1 and was able to successfully insert Shortcodes again via the customize dashbaord and using Custom HTML on my Theme and it worked! Out of curiosity, I upgraded AGAIN to 9.0.0 and discovered that it converted the widget into a legacy Custom HTML code block with [custom_twitter_feeds] in it. Voila. Boom. It still works, again.

    My question:
    Is the Shortcode block in Widgets’ Sidebar supposed to populate correctly like it does in other pages/posts, or does someone suspect a plugin/theme conflict?

    My Config:
    Wordpress 5.5.1
    Sydney Theme 1.68
    Gutenberg 9.0.0

    Hi there!

    The Shortcode block should populate correctly in the Widgets screen, but I can reproduce the issue so it seems to be a bug in Gutenberg. Thanks for letting us know! I’ll write up a report for it.
