widget_text widget doesn't work with shortcodes

Hi all I am having a big issue with the shortcodes not working in text_widget. I have added the appropriate codes

add_filter( 'widget_text', 'shortcode_unautop');
add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

I am still unsuccessful, is there any troubleshoot techniques I can used or be advised to solve this issue myself?

Also the shortcodes work perfectly in the_content and the_excerpt.

add_filter('the_content', 'do_shortcode');  
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'do_shortcode');

try to add a priority .

add_filter( 'widget_text', 'shortcode_unautop');
add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode', 11);

if not successful - try to disable all plugins and change theme to default - there is a slight , albeit statistically existing possibility that one of the plugins is removing this filter for some obscure reason...
