It renders shortcode in the editor side so editor does not need to visit front side to check how it will look on frontside. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f2949e1420c186ba7fe9eafb8f5c406b6b29ddebb639e7c7da6f93d39b784643? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Does not work with any shortcode](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-work-with-any-shortcode/)󠁿 [Martin Sauter](https://profiles.wordpress.org/martinsauter/) March 28, 2025 For example, [ninja_form id=1] is not rendered. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4bb63af9968f7373c22c122b7ee63ddee8fcebea5a2530d9b7c2cd4efe5f22d0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-29313/)󠁿 [Alexey Tikhonov](https://profiles.wordpress.org/altert/) January 14, 2021 It makes creating layout for complex pages and e.g. shortcodes for images referenced from DAM much easier! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5cd674c5590ecbeea486d16c6898c5ca75c520708f206075909bd06d657268a6? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Useful but not 100% accurate](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/useful-but-not-100-accurate/)󠁿 [PolyWogg](https://profiles.wordpress.org/polywogg/) August 12, 2020 1 reply Tested with NEXTGEN Gallery shortcodes that insert a pic…if I do “float right”, it doesn’t wrap text around this block nor does it centre if I float center. It shows a good preview that the regular editor doesn’t, but it also means it is embedded within a block with extra controls on it. P.
