Unfortunately, what you suggested did not work.
But I have found that for some reason wp-bakery (?) or the theme, add the paragraph opening/closing tags on the start and the end of the shortcodes that are created. So I have changed from the Backend editor to Classic Mode inside the page and then removed manually the <p> tag at the start and the end of the whole shortcode that was created.
e.x:
At the start of the created shortcodes <p>[vc_row disable_element="yes".....
At the end of the created shortcodes [ .......vc_row disable_element="yes"]</p>
After (Respectivle to the above):
[vc_row disable_element="yes".....
[ .......vc_row disable_element="yes"]
I couldn’t debug further and figure out if this was related to the HTML blocks, been used as footer sections, or if this was related to any other issue of the theme and the wp-bakery page builder. Fill free to investigate further from your end, if any other user, comes across this bug.
Best Regards
