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.
<h4>for Theme Developers</h4>
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.
<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 (
 '[' . $shortcode => '[' .$shortcode,
 '[/' . $shortcode => '[/' .$shortcode,
 $shortcode . ']' => $shortcode . ']',
 $shortcode . '] ' => $shortcode . ']'
 );

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

 return $content;
}

add_filter( 'the_content', 'shortcode_empty_paragraph_fix' );
</code></pre>
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>.

WP Fix It - WordPress Experts

Fresh Plugins is a simple plugin to allow plugins re-installation of plugins. Use this plugin to install a fresh copy of any plugins that are on your site from the WordPress.org plugin repo. The plugin installed will be the newest version of the plugin and will delete and replace your current version.

Fresh Plugins

Very useful, if you want to reinstall all your plugins (cause you suspect something is wrong).
The fact it uses Ajax means it doesn't use the native WordPress page, but  it has the advantage to let you update plugin little by little while keeping a track of what has already been reinstalled or not (as long as you don't refresh the page of course).

Very Useful

Your plugin have helped me to clean a couple hacked sites.

Thank you!

Easily reinstall fresh and new versions of plugins on your site from WordPress.org with a simple click.
