Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a page that shows a view (top) and a shortcode pointing to the same view (bottom).
I want the shortcode to show up the same way as the view does, three columns on one line. Is there a way to do this?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Can you please show me how exactly you added the another view (the view at bottom of the page) using shortcode?

IN addition to that it would be great if you can share admin access details.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Thank you for sharing access details.

I checked on your install and I see you created the first view using block.

And you have added the another copy of the same block view using the view's shortcode.

If you want to use the styles of block view, you will require to add the view in block mode only. if you can check now your test page:
=> hidden link

I've added the same view using blocks and when you add it the same view using blocks, you will require to click on the button "Edit copy" that will make the view's copy.

Hi Minesh:
That doesn't solve my problem. I want the formatting of the block view to also appear when I use the shortcode. Is there a way to have the shortcode show the wines on one line and in three columns?
