 * Hi @kseaborn,
 * It seems that the use of the short code directly in a page or post works just
   fine.
 * But when I embed the same short code into a text field that uses the [Classic Editor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/):
 * [⌊Screenshot-2021-12-07-at-09-40-03⌉⌊Screenshot-2021-12-07-at-09-40-03⌉[
 * the paragraph that includes this code:
 *     ```
       <p><span class="ZP_API_USER_ID" style="display: none;">SAMPLE</span><br>
       		<span class="ZP_ITEM_KEY" style="display: none;"></span><br>
       		<span class="ZP_COLLECTION_ID" style="display: none;">84D****T</span><br>
       		<span class="ZP_TAG_ID" style="display: none;"></span><br>
       		<span class="ZP_AUTHOR" style="display: none;"></span><br>
       		<span class="ZP_YEAR" style="display: none;"></span><br>
               <span class="ZP_ITEMTYPE" style="display: none;"></span><br>
               <span class="ZP_ITEM_TYPE" style="display: none;">items</span><br>
       		<span class="ZP_INCLUSIVE" style="display: none;">1</span><br>
       		<span class="ZP_STYLE" style="display: none;"></span><br>
       		<span class="ZP_LIMIT" style="display: none;"></span><br>
       		<span class="ZP_SORTBY" style="display: none;">default</span><br>
       		<span class="ZP_ORDER" style="display: none;">asc</span><br>
       		<span class="ZP_TITLE" style="display: none;"></span><br>
       		<span class="ZP_SHOWIMAGE" style="display: none;"></span><br>
       		<span class="ZP_SHOWTAGS" style="display: none;"></span><br>
       		<span class="ZP_DOWNLOADABLE" style="display: none;"></span><br>
       		<span class="ZP_NOTES" style="display: none;"></span><br>
       		<span class="ZP_ABSTRACT" style="display: none;"></span><br>
       		<span class="ZP_CITEABLE" style="display: none;"></span><br>
       		<span class="ZP_TARGET" style="display: none;"></span><br>
       		<span class="ZP_URLWRAP" style="display: none;"></span><br>
       		<span class="ZP_FORCENUM" style="display: none;"></span><br>
               <span class="ZP_HIGHLIGHT" style="display: none;"></span><br>
       		<span class="ZOTPRESS_PLUGIN_URL" style="display:none;">https://www.domain.com/wp-content/plugins/zotpress/</span></p>
       ```
   
 * Takes up a huge empty space in the page or post.
 * Maybe it is just an issue that I’m facing myself, or maybe the paragraph requires“
   display:none”.
 * How can I solve this?
 * Many thanks!

 * A quick turnaround:
 *     ```
       #zotpress-be36739e1207b64a9a6c4476047875f1 > p:nth-child(1), #zotpress-be36739e1207b64a9a6c4476047875f1 > p:nth-child(3) {
       	display: none !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * A bit weird, just a temporary solution.
