Enable Shortcodes in Authority Pro Top Banner Section

[jdcohan]

How would I enable shortcodes in the Authority Pro Top Banner Section?

I already have this in my mu-plugins/functions.php, which works for all widets:

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

But that doesn't help.

Update:

The space character in my shortcode is being converted to the %20 entity.

The site is here (still under development):

The shortcode in question is a basic permalink-embed, which works everywhere else on the site:

function nwb_permalink_embed($atts) {
	extract(shortcode_atts(array(
		'id' => 1,
		'text' => "" // default value if none supplied
	), $atts));
	if ($text) {
		$url = get_permalink($id);
		return "<a href='$url' title='$text'>$text</a>";
	} else {
		return get_permalink($id);
	}
}
add_shortcode('linkto', 'nwb_permalink_embed');

And here is the contents of the Top Banner:

<a href="[linkto id='239']">Check out Dr. Nick Scalzo's article</a>, <em>Memory Loss? Corporate Knowledge and Radical Change</em>

But the rendered hyperlink shows the shortcode code, not the converted hyperlink. It was only after copying the link location and pasting it into my editor that I noticed the culprit:

http://ontracktraining.info/[linkto%20id='239']

Namely, the space character after linkto is being converted to the %20 entity.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to address this? Thanks.

Update #2:

I now see that the customizer calls the WordPress wp_kses_post function, which sanitizes the content. Hence the URL-encoding of the space, right?

So, while this is now technically a WordPress issue and not a Genesis Authority Pro issue, I sure would appreciate advice on how to circumvent the "problem".

(I have skimmed through wp-includes/kses.php, but the solution has not jumped out at me.)

Thanks.
