 * Hi there,
 * First of all, thanks for the wonderful plugin.
 * What I’m facing is WP Bakery seems to automatically wrap the shortcode in [vc_row],[
   vc_column] and [vc_column_text] which breaks the [restrict] shortcode. For example,
 *     ```
       [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
       [restrict]
       [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
   
       some content to be restricted
   
       [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
       [/restrict]
       [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
       ```
   
 * It happened in both classic mode and backend mode.
 * I saw another content control plugin PPWP had similar issue and developed related
   fix.

 * Is it possible to have similar solution for RUA? Or are there any workarounds?

 * Thank you for reporting this and for providing the link about the fix from the
   other plugin.
 * Currently there are no workarounds, but I will look into the documentation you
   provided and see if something similar can be implemented in RUA.
