<p>Fix <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12061" rel="nofollow ugc">known issues</a> when shortcodes are embedded in a block of content that is filtered by wpautop.</p>
<h4>for Theme Developers</h4>
<p>If you are developing a theme to provide this on a marketplace, you better embed the following code in your functions.php. This code filters only the shortcodes you defined. Otherwise you risk a failed review because the code in the plugin filters content in general which may is not acceptet.</p>
<pre><code>function shortcode_empty_paragraph_fix( $content ) {

    // define your shortcodes to filter, '' filters all shortcodes
    $shortcodes = array( 'your_shortcode_1', 'your_shortcode_2' );

    foreach ( $shortcodes as $shortcode ) {

        $array = array (
            '<p>[' . $shortcode => '[' .$shortcode,
            '<p>[/' . $shortcode => '[/' .$shortcode,
            $shortcode . ']</p>' => $shortcode . ']',
            $shortcode . ']<br />' => $shortcode . ']'
        );

        $content = strtr( $content, $array );
    }

    return $content;
}

add_filter( 'the_content', 'shortcode_empty_paragraph_fix' );
</code></pre>
<p>Another solution that is acceptet at the envato (themeforest) marketplace comes from <a href="https://gist.github.com/bitfade/4555047" title="a Gist on Github" rel="nofollow ugc">bitfade</a>.</p>
