Hi John,

Thanks for your reply! I figured out that there was something wrong with initializing the shortcodes button. Everything is working fine now and this is the optimized code:

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'shortcodes_button_setup' );

if ( ! function_exists( 'shortcodes_button_setup' ) ) {
    function shortcodes_button_setup() {
        add_action( 'init', 'shortcodes_button' );
    }
}

if ( ! function_exists( 'shortcodes_button' ) ) {
    function shortcodes_button() {
        if ( ! current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ) && ! current_user_can( 'edit_pages' ) ) {
            return;
        }

        if ( get_user_option( 'rich_editing' ) !== 'true' ) {
            return;
        }

        add_filter( 'mce_external_plugins', 'add_shortcodes_button' );
        add_filter( 'mce_buttons', 'register_shortcodes_button' );
    }
}

if ( ! function_exists( 'add_shortcodes_button' ) ) {
    function add_shortcodes_button( $plugin_array ) {
        $plugin_array['shortcodes_button'] = get_template_directory_uri().'/includes/shortcodes/js/shortcodes.js';
        return $plugin_array;
    }
}

if ( ! function_exists( 'register_shortcodes_button' ) ) {
    function register_shortcodes_button( $buttons ) {
        array_push( $buttons, 'shortcodes_button' );
        return $buttons;
    }
}
