 * Hi, I’ve recently updated to wordpress 5.6 but the shortcode is not showing as
   embedded – instead the link is shown which links to the petition. Is there a 
   fix for this?

 * Hello mkaobrih,
 * Thank you for contacting us.
 * We will investigate the problem as soon as possible. Please bear with us if it
   takes a while. Due to the Corona lockdown, we are unfortunately unable to provide
   a solution as quickly as we usually do.
 * I have one question. The answer to it would speed up our search for the cause
   of the problem. Does the problem only occur when integrating the shortcode or
   also when integrating the petition via the Civist widget in the Gutenberg block
   editor?
 * Thank you very much for your support.
 * If you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are happy
   to help.
 * With best regards
    the Civist Support Team
 * PS: Did you know that contacting us via our support widget directly in the Civist
   plugin in your WordPress speeds up response times? You are welcome to use our
   support widget for future requests. That often guarantees a faster response.

 * Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. The shortcode is in an elementor shortcode
   element. When I removed the shortcode [] and put the src url in an elementor 
   text box the petition displayed properly. I dont know if the problem is with 
   your plugin or with elementor shortcode element but it seems to be okay in a 
   text box with no shortcode?
