Shortcodes in Free HTML not evaluated

Can anyone help me out with this process? I’d like to add that functionality to Jazzy forms on our site, so that I can have a tooltip show up in the HTML content in the form (ie via a tooltip plugin), but I am not really a programmer. ??

So I’m wondering: Where would I add the do_shortcode??? What file in the plugin should I edit??

I really don’t want to break things, but I can’t seem to find enough information that allows me to do this confidently.

Thanks so much!

Edit file front/ctrl-shortcode.php, change the line 16

from: return $output;

to: return do_shortcode($output);

Hooray. Thank you for speaking my language, Denis. It’s working just fine now.
