 * Hi,
 * When I put that code in text editor and I go back to visual editor. The “code”
   is destroyed.
 * Text Editor:
 *     ```
       <ul>
       [expand title="Item One" tag="li"]
       This is some special text to display about item one
       [/expand]
       [expand title="Item Two" tag="li"]
       This is some special text about item two to display
       [/expand]
       [expand title="Item Three" tag="li"]
       Item three also has some special text to be displayed
       [/expand]
       </ul>
       ```
   
 * The result after visual editor:
 *     ```
       <ul>
        	<li style="list-style-type: none">
       <ul>[expand title="Item One" tag="li"]</ul>
       </li>
       </ul>
       &nbsp;
       <ul>
        	<li style="list-style-type: none">
       <ul>This is some special text to display about item one</ul>
       </li>
       </ul>
       &nbsp;
       <ul>
        	<li style="list-style-type: none">
       <ul>[/expand]</ul>
       </li>
       </ul>
       &nbsp;
       <ul>
        	<li style="list-style-type: none">
       <ul>[expand title="Item Two" tag="li"]</ul>
       </li>
       </ul>
       &nbsp;
       <ul>
        	<li style="list-style-type: none">
       <ul>This is some special text about item two to display</ul>
       </li>
       </ul>
       &nbsp;
       <ul>
        	<li style="list-style-type: none">
       <ul>[/expand]</ul>
       </li>
       </ul>
       &nbsp;
       <ul>
        	<li style="list-style-type: none">
       <ul>[expand title="Item Three" tag="li"]</ul>
       </li>
       </ul>
       &nbsp;
       <ul>
        	<li style="list-style-type: none">
       <ul>Item three also has some special text to be displayed</ul>
       </li>
       </ul>
       &nbsp;
       <ul>[/expand]</ul>
       ```
   
 * What is the solution, expect disabling the visual editor?
 * Thanks.

 * wow, that’s strange.
    it sounds like your theme or plugin is doing some wonky
   things to WordPress’ page editor. Have you tried to troubleshoot the plugins 
   and theme?

 * Troubleshoot? I changed nothing in the themes and the pulgins. If that was your
   question.
 * I disabled all the plugins except your, and I still have the issue.

 * deactivate all plugins, does the problem continue?
    if no turn each plugin back
   on, on one by one and check which one is causing the issue. if yes, then switch
   to a standard twenty-something theme, does the problem continue? if no, then 
   contact your theme developer. if yes, then there is something very, very strange
   going on with your setup.

 * I desactivated all the plugins -> I still had the issue
    I switch the them to
   a basic one -> I still had the issue I did both -> Still the issue
 * I changed the browser (with a basic theme and all the plugins off) -> I still
   had the issue
 * So something is weird.
