Hi gauntlec, I have WordPress v6.2.1 on my own site and the shortcode is working: https://davidmatthew.ie/ventus-test

How are you embedding the shortcode? Are you using the Gutenberg editor’s shortcode block, or embedding some other way, i.e. via a page builder?

Using the Shortcode block see screen shot. However you will also notice short codes for other plugins are being used in the same way on the page and are working fine.

Hi gauntlec, on further investigation it appears this is a widespread issue following the 6.2.1 update that is affecting shortcodes within block templates: https://wptavern.com/wordpress-6-2-1-update-breaks-shortcode-support-in-block-templates

Reverting to 6.2 would fix this for now, but obviously this is not satisfactory. A lot of developers in a similar position to myself are monitoring the issue to see if WordPress will address this in a subsequent patch update.

@gauntlec The 6.2.2 WordPress update has addressed this bug: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/58333

Can you let me know if the shortcode is now working for you?
