Hi there,

I spent the support token time looking for possible causes of these issues and found this in the theme’s columns-shortcodes.php file:

// Disabling WordPress wpautop and wptexturize filters

function columns_formatter($content) {
    $new_content = '';

    /* Matches the contents and the open and closing tags */
    $pattern_full = '{(\[raw\].*?\[/raw\])}is';

    /* Matches just the contents */
    $pattern_contents = '{\[raw\](.*?)\[/raw\]}is';

    /* Divide content into pieces */
    $pieces = preg_split($pattern_full, $content, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);

    /* Loop over pieces */
    foreach ($pieces as $piece) {
        /* Look for presence of the shortcode */
        if (preg_match($pattern_contents, $piece, $matches)) {

            /* Append to content (no formatting) */
            $new_content .= $matches[1];
        } else {

            /* Format and append to content */
            $new_content .= wptexturize(wpautop($piece));
        }
    }

    return $new_content;
}

// Remove the 2 main auto-formatters
remove_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');
remove_filter('the_content', 'wptexturize');

// Before displaying for viewing, apply this function
add_filter('the_content', 'columns_formatter', 99);
add_filter('widget_text', 'columns_formatter', 99);

While it may make the shortcode generated columns look nicer, it will break other plugin shortcodes.
So as a workaround, I wrapped the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode with the [raw] short tag.
