[Resolved] Form block shows up as shortcodes when published

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

Problem:
A form is displayed as shortcode instead of actual form fields.

Solution:
It turns out that the form's code is incorrect. It was not wrapped inside a credform shortcode.

I am trying to: Add a form for members to be able to add custom post types without accessing the admin panel

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

I expected to see: A form

Instead, I got: A set of shortcodes

Hello and thank you for contacting Toolset support.

I logged into your website to check this closely, but this user/password does not allow me to get to the admin area, I am always redirected to the homepage. Can you make sure that this user has enough privileges to access the wp-admin area?

Sorry about that! The access should be fixed now.

Thank you! It turns out that the issue is within the form's code. All the form code must be wrapped inside the credform shortcode. Check this screenshot hidden link

This is how to fix it hidden link However, there is still one shortcode appearing on the form hidden link It turns out to be a separate shortcode block on the page. So, I removed it and only kept the form block.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
