 * Hi there,
 * Love the free plugin thank you! However, the shortcode is not working for me.
   It either displays blank blocks or nothing at all depending on if I’m editing
   in HTML or visual mode. I’m running the latest version of WP and my theme (Theme
   X) is current. I haven’t added additional CSS. Thoughts?
 * Thanks in advance,

 * Can you specify what shortcode you’re referring to?

 * I haven’t been able to reproduce this problem. Are you able to render other shortcodes
   in your blocks?

 * Yes, it’s the only shortcode that doesn’t work on my site. Seems to be a common
   issue in your support forum. Do you have a solution?

 * Really? I don’t believe I’ve seen this issue before; can you link to an example
   of this issue elsewhere?
 * If I understand you correctly, you’re using the shortcode and it’s doing *nothing*–
   showing no output of any kind. Is that correct?

 * That’s correct. The shortcode displays nothing.

 * Can you share a link to a page with the shortcode?

 * I don’t want to share the link to the page publicly on this forum as the website
   is not yet live. Can I send a link to you personally with an access code?

 * Latest update to WP Accessibility should resolve this issue.
