Base Shortcode: [woo_vpf_filter]

I’d recommend to use base shortcode first and then add only required attributes from following list rather than using a complete shortcode all the times.

Also make sure that you manually replace double quotes with keyboard typed double quotes as coping it from browser usually changes it with wrong one quotes.
