 * Hi guys,
    I’m using the column shortcode but they’re not executed when I publish
   the post. The shortcode text is displayed on the page: [one_half] etc.
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * Did you enable the option for column shortcodes from the “Posts/Pages” tab of
   the WP Edit options page?

 * I’m having a problem with column shortcodes that I’m hoping you can help me with.
   I have an image that is formatted to align left. Next I have a paragraph, and
   under the paragraph I need two columns. The paragraph and two columns should 
   float to the right of the image, but I can’t make it happen.
 * All works properly without the image. I can get a paragraph with two columns 
   of text underneath it, but I really want the image there too!

 * Hello,
 * You can “nest” the shortcodes. This will allow you to achieve what you desire.
   Something like the following should work:
 *     ```
       [one_third]Image goes here[/one_third][two_third]Paragraph goes here.[one_half]This is the left column.[/one_half][one_half_last]This is the right column.[/one_half_last][/two_third_last]
       ```
   
 * You may need to enter a line-break after the “paragraph goes here” part to knock
   the next set of columns down a line.
 * Let me know if you experience any issues.
