 * Hi VALID Agency,
 * Thanks for reaching out.
 * Actually, we solved this bug a while ago, and since you are using the latest 
   versions, this problem should not occur anymore.
 * However, a quick fix would be enabling a constant in your `wp-config.php` and
   thus remove the shortcode icon from the editor. You can find instructions for
   this workaround [here](https://wpadvancedads.com/codex/constants/#ADVANCED_ADS_DISABLE_SHORTCODE_BUTTON).
 * I found your website via one of your threads on another topic and believe you
   have an active Pro license. If the solution outlined above is not sufficient 
   and we want to track down this bug again together, I would be pleased if you 
   [contact our support](https://wpadvancedads.com/support/) directly and add a 
   link to this thread to your message.
 * Best regards,
    Joachim

 * Hi [@schmidt25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schmidt25/),
 * Thanks for the reply and workaround. Upon enabling the constant, the error no
   longer appears.
 * I appreciate your assistance!

 * define (‘ADVANCED_ADS_DISABLE_SHORTCODE_BUTTON’, true);
    works for me too…
