 [MisterR](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mister_r/) November 4, 2018

The idea is great, but the implementation is bad. The bug I noticed very soon. If
you disable built-in package of shortcodes, you can’t even switch to the Text Edit
Mode. Console shows the following error: Uncaught ReferenceError: hide_shortcode_panel
is not defined Why do I have to use this package if it’s not useful and needed? 
Also why there are some many notifications (read this, read that). WTF? The News
sub-section under “Shortcodes”? Are you serious?

Nice plugin. Unfortunately, version 5.0.2 is preventing Divi Builder to launch.

A promisingly good plugin, but we’re seeing two issues in version 4.0.8 of the plugin
that together are a showstopper for us right now: Topic: Drop-down menus off main
theme menu don’t appear when plugin active « WordPress.org Forums Topic: Left arrow
key disabled in editor « WordPress.org Forums
