 * Our sermon manager has picked up the habit of showing the html for the audio 
   files, rather than the player itself.
 * Shortcode being used is `[sermons per_page="2" hide_pagination="1"]`
 * And instead of the player, that area says something like `[audio mp3="http://
   www.penrithmethodist.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sermons/2020/02/02-February-1045-
   Gillian-Belford.mp3"][/audio]`
 * Any idea of how I can fix that?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshortcode-showing-code-not-audio-player%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I just added that to a test page and I’m not seeing that.
