 * Hello!
 * I’m having a frustrating time with this and haven’t been able to find any info
   online. Whenever I go to add a shortcode, it bolts away from me. Just outright
   disappears like it was never there.
 * Using the WP editor, I’ll click one of the blue + to add a section then
 * Add a section > WP Elements > [+] shortcode
 * the entire section disappears here. Then sometimes when I click around the shortcode
   element shows back up but if I click on the block to put in any text it’s gone
   again
 * thank you for your help!

 * I don’t think you are using the default block editor (Gutenberg). There is no
   dialog with “Add a section > WP Elements” to insert a shortcode. I recommend 
   asking for help in the dedicated support channel for the editor you are using.
