Shortcodes don’t work in patterns (reusable blocks)

    Context: WordPress

    I created a Gutenberg group block which includes a headline and a Simple Calendar shortcode. I tested the output and everything worked as expected.

    Then I transformed the group block into a pattern (f.k.a. widget) and added this pattern block in another page template using the site editor.

    Expected result

    The headline and the calendar items from Google Calendar are shown wherever I use the template.

    Actual result

    The shortcode is shown instead of the calendar entries.

    Additional information

    JSON of the pattern

    {
  "__file": "wp_block",
  "title": "Upcoming events",
  "content": "<!-- wp:group {\"layout\":{\"type\":\"constrained\"}} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><!-- wp:heading {\"fontSize\":\"large\"} -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Upcoming events</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:shortcode -->\n[calendar id=\"268\"]\n<!-- /wp:shortcode --></div>\n<!-- /wp:group -->",
  "syncStatus": ""
}

    Hi there,

    Thanks for keeping in touch with us.

    In this case, I have carried out tests on this and even converted the Group block to a pattern, added the pattern to a page and the calendar is actually rendered. Here is a screenshot: https://prnt.sc/Is2gh-aWH94A .

    Based on the above, could you kindly try disabling other plugin you have in place and test this once again. If the issue is resolved, please reactivate the plugins one by one to identify the conflicting plugin.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Kind Regards
