 If you have a shortcode for Ninjaforms and use the post in a context that
 runs force_balance_tags() it seriously breaks the script. For example if
 you have a form id=14, add this :
 {{{#!php
 <?php

 echo 'NO BALANCE:--'. apply_filters('the_content', '[ninja_form id=14]' )
 .' --END NO BALANCE. ';
 echo 'BALANCED:--'. force_balance_tags(apply_filters('the_content',
 '[ninja_form id=14]' )) .' --END BALANCED. ';
 }}}
 Notice that some ending /spans, /is, and or /as are added before the end
 script, breaking it. Seems to not be wp version dependent.
