 * If I put my data inside the “plain text” editor, it messes up shortcode after
   saving. I spent three hours styling and then found out this! such a bummer!

 * Hi [@huzaifaahmed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/huzaifaahmed/),
 * Thank you very much for your valuable reviews.
 * Hope you’re fine. Sorry for being late to reply.
 * It is really sad to hear that you have faced such an issue. We have tested the
   plugin on our local site and everything works perfectly. The plain text editor
   is HTML compatible, Shortcode supported. There are thousands of plugins out there,
   we are unable to make the Tab plugin compatible with all of them but we follow
   a standard way so that all the plugin shortcodes can be used in the tab plugin.
 * It is really frustrating to see that you have directly come to the review section
   without asking for any assistance from us. We firmly believe that the problem
   can be solved. We will be happy to resolve your issue.
 * We have a dedicated team to offer incredible support to our valued users. You
   can also contact us at support[@]shapedplugin.com or [open a support ticket](https://shapedplugin.com/create-support-ticket/).
 * We believe that you will consider revising your reviews.
 * Thank you again!
