[Resolved] Curly Brackets and exclamation marks?

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: When I insert shortcodes into a page builder system like WPBakery Page Builder / Visual Composer, I see curly brackets and exclamation marks instead of square brackets.

Solution: This is expected when using page builder systems.

I am trying to: Insert short codes

I expected to see: [wpv-conditional

Instead, I got: {!{ wpv-conditional

Hi, this syntax is expected when you are inserting Types and Views shortcodes inside a page builder system like WPBakery Page Builder. Nothing to be concerned about here. The new syntax helps prevent some compatibility issues we noticed in some 3rd-party systems.
