[av_section][av_one_third] and do_shortcode function

I built a simple 1/3 layout with Avia Layout Architect and copied the shortcodes from the post_content (post table) column 1:1 into my own plugin. If I send the shortcodes now through the do_shortcode function, around each div class=”flex_column” a separate div class=”flex_column_table” wrapper is opened and so all columns are in a separate row.

If I print the output before “do_shortcode” and copy it manually into a new wordpress page, everything is correct.

Do the [av_one_third] shortcodes not work correctly with do_shortcode? Of course, I made sure that only every third column gets the class “first”.

Update:
I saw that after each flex_column is the following comment:
“<!–close column table wrapper. Autoclose: 1 –>”
“Autoclose” sounds like the problem. What decides when to autoclose and can I decide that manually?

Update 2:
I tracked it down to the following lines in your columns.php (wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/columns/columns.php – Line 1638):

` if( ( false === $force_close ) && ! empty( avia_sc_columns::$first_atts[‘min_height’] ) && ( ‘av-equal-height-column’ == avia_sc_columns::$first_atts[‘min_height’] ) )
{
if( ! isset( $meta[‘siblings’][‘next’][‘tag’] ) )
{
$force_close = true;

I do use “min_height=’av-equal-height-column'” and when calling “do_shortcode” the $meta[‘siblings’][‘next’][‘tag’] is always empty. If I use the same avia-shortcodes in a wordpress page, the $meta[‘siblings’][‘next’][‘tag’] contains the next “av_one_third” tag.

Why does your $meta variable do not contain the next elements, when using do_shortcode? I can guarantee that the exact same code will work if I copy it into a blank WordPress page. Then $meta again contains information about the next tags.
