Hello, I recently started to update my website using SiteOrigin. However, I am experiencing an issue – in the Visual Editor mode when I am trying to change the content, the code keeps appearing. In other words, in the visual mode, the same content as the text mode keeps appearing which makes it very hard for me to edit the content on my page.
I have tried disabling the other plugins but the visual editor is still not working. Any help would be appreciated on this matter.
Hi Taha
If possible, please, take a screenshot of the issue, upload it to imgur.com or any similar site and send us the link. We’ll take a look and advise further.
Thanks

Please help me in this matter, any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for the screenshots, all looks normal with the Editor widget. Shortcodes won’t render in the Editor widget. This behavior isn’t exclusive to the SiteOrigin Editor widget, the same would be true in the classic WordPress editor. Shortcodes only render on the site front-end. This is a more a question for the creator of the shortcodes. Are the provided by your theme? If so, your theme documentation will most likely contain the necessary documentation to work with those shortcodes. Hopefully, that helps steer you in the right direction.
