 * Hi,
 * I use the “Insert PHP Code Snippet” plugin and create some shortcodes in certain
   pages with it. Everything worked just find until one of the last updates around
   Dec. 2016 I have to problem.
 * The generated shortcodes are not rendered into actual tabs or buttons, however,
   the shortcodes are just displayed as text on the actual page. If I copy that 
   text into the editing window of the page, the actual page, buttons and tabs work
   fine.
 * Btw… the php snipptes in the footer and sidebars still work fine. The theme hasn’t
   been updated so far.
 * One more comment, tables and other elements without shortcodes generated with
   php snippets do work fine!
 * Anyone knows what has changed in WP that causes the phenomenon?
