 * hi folks,
 * So… for your information: with the upgrade to 6.0.2.4 comes another unexpected
   interaction with the PageBuilder plugin 🙂
 * You are now processing a form description for shortcodes, in public/partials/
   shortcodes/process_form_shortcode.php on line 144, using ‘the_content’ hook.
 * PageBuilder uses that hook too, in a way that results in a recursion: when the
   filters are applied, PageBuilder inserts the content up till then again, and 
   processes the same form again, which then calls the filter on description, which
   starts PageBuilder again, etc.
 * My guess is that this is also something better fixed at PageBuilder’s end. There
   are more questions about interference via the_content filters.
 * But the easiest fix for me for now was to add a check to Easy Forms around displaying
   the description:
 *     ```
       if( !empty( $description ) && $description == 1 ) {
         $yikes_t_content = apply_filters( 'yikes-mailchimp-form-description', $form_description, $form_id );
         include_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/plugin.php' );
         if ( !is_plugin_active( 'siteorigin-panels/siteorigin-panels.php' ) ) {
           // PageBuilder plugin is not activated
           $yikes_t_content = apply_filters( 'the_content', $yikes_t_content );
         }
         echo '<p class="yikes-mailchimp-form-description yikes-mailchimp-form-description-'.$form_id.'">' . $yikes_t_content . '</p>';
       }
       ```
