 * Hi [@tomaschen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomaschen/),
 * Sorry for the late reply. I missed to reply earlier.
 * If your shortcodes in v4.4 has “spaces” in shortcode name then in v5+ they will
   be converted to hyphens. i.e if your shortcode is `[sc name="my test"]` then 
   it should be `[sc name="my-test"]` in v5+.
 * But you do not need to change anything on your posts if you have used the old
   format. Shortcoder will automatically recognize the old format.
 * There is no action needed from your side.
 * Please see more upgrade FAqs here at the bottom:

 * Thanks,
    Aakash
