 * From what I read, shortcodes are supposed to be supported using the visual editor
   but seems like it’s not working for the WP Canvas Shortcodes plugin…

 * Hey Melanie,
 * Thanks for posting! We’re actually preventing 3rd party plugin enhancements to
   the Text Editor module as it causes too many bugs, i.e., most of those plugins
   are only coded to work on the backend. As a workaround, you can open up the native
   WP editor, use the shortcode button, grab the shortcode it generates, and paste
   it to your Text Editor module.

 * Sorry, didn’t receive notification of your reply so since then I have seen other
   shortcodes work by copy and past but WP Canvas still doesn’t.
 * I do actually copy and paste the shortcode itself without using the Visual Editor…
 * I’ll be more on top of your reply this time! 🙂

 * Hey Melanie,
 * I have just tried it on my end and see the problem. I’ll go ahead and file a 
   bug report and see if there’s something we can do from our end. Thanks for the
   heads up! 🙂

 * Hey Melanie,
 * It looks like WC Shortcodes is only registering some of its shortcodes before
   Beaver Builder content is rendered and then unregistering them.
 * That approach seems a bit out of the ordinary, so I’m going to file an issue 
   with them. For now, adding the following to your theme’s functions.php file should
   fix the issue…
 *     ```
       if ( function_exists( 'wc_shortcodes_add_preprocess' ) ) {
       	wc_shortcodes_add_preprocess();
       }
       ```
   
 * Let me know if you have any questions about that.
 * Justin
