Hi,

I’m running latest WordPress and plugins. I just upgraded Virtue Premium Theme from 4.1.9 to 4.7.8 and it’s breaking a few things. The most notable is my use of amr shortcode any widget. Where I was using a Virtue call to action widget via amr shortcode any widget I’m getting this error:

Error: Your Requested widget ” virtue_calltoaction_widget-2″ is not in the widget list.
Problem with do_widget shortcode? Try one of the following:

[do_widget_area widgets_for_shortcodes]

[do_widget id=”tag_cloud-3″]
[do_widget id=”black-studio-tinymce-2″]
[do_widget id=”virtue_calltoaction_widget-2″]
[do_widget id=”black-studio-tinymce-3″]
[do_widget id=”black-studio-tinymce-6″]

Notice that the Error message has a leading space in the widget name but the widget in the list does not. Not sure if that’s just an output error in the error message or if it’s more significant. When I look in the Widgets area of WordPress the call to action widget in the Widgets for shortcodes widgets is missing altogether.

If I revert back to Virtue Premium 4.1.9 everything goes back to normal and the call to action appears normally on the page as well as the widget returning to the widgets area in WordPress in the widgets for shortcodes widgets.

I’m testing this on a local MAMP server so I can’t provide a URL at the moment that displays the problem but can set something up for online testing if necessary.

Thanks
