    That should work. Check the HTML that is being produced in the page.

    If you go to the CFDB Shortcode page, build the shortcode, and click on it to see the results, do you get anything?

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    When i build the shortcode or copy and paste it in the text box of visual composer and then preview, i get the the number of entries.

    But then when i run it in within the JS code, it doesn’t return any number, no feedback at all

    What exactly does the script tag look like in your post?

    It looks like this in my post (using text box of visual composer);

    <script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
    var value = [cfdb-count form="Petition1(Our Problem)" role="Anyone" permissionmsg="true"]  + 1000;
    document.write(value);
    // ]]></script>

    and looks like this when i view page source ;

    <div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element ">
    		<div class="wpb_wrapper">
    			<p><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
    var value = [cfdb-count form="Petition1(Our Problem)" role="Anyone" permissionmsg="true"]  + 1000;
    document.write(value);
    // ]]></script></p>
    
    		</div>
    	</div>

    You can find snapshots of the exact codes here;

    I first suggest removing
    // <![CDATA[
    and its closing
    // ]]

    The WP editor seems to be replacing the open and close brackets [] around the shortcode with their HTML character codes. Consequently WP does not see [] and does not recognize this as a shortcode and nothing happens.

    You might try deleting the [] character in WP Editor Text mode and typing them in again.
