Shortcode not working on static front page

A shortcode from a plugin I am trying to use is not working on my static front page, it only shows as plain shortcode text but It works well on all of my other pages.

I'm using Illdy theme, I've already asked about this issue on their forum but I have a feeling that the issue is in my front-page.php file. Is there anything missing or extra in my front-page.php file that is preventing the shortcode from working?

UPDATE: in front-page.php, I changed get_the_content() to the_content() and I fixed my issue. Is this a good fix? Can I feel comfortable in making this change?

Here's my front-page.php:

?php
/**
 *  The template for displaying the front page.
 *
 *  @package WordPress
 *  @subpackage illdy
 */



get_header();


if( get_option( 'show_on_front' ) == 'posts' ): ?

    div class="container"
        div class="row"
            div class="col-sm-7"
                section id="blog"
                    ?php do_action( 'illdy_above_content_after_header' ); ?
                    ?php
                    if( have_posts() ):
                        while( have_posts() ):
                            the_post();
                            get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', get_post_format() );
                        endwhile;
                    else:
                        get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'none' );
                    endif;
                    ?
                    ?php do_action( 'illdy_after_content_above_footer' ); ?
                /section!--/#blog--

Good job you guy's ! I've tried this code and it works perfectly. I've just need to reduce the width of the front page.

It looks like you need to change your front-page.php page, you are using the wrong variable.

$static_page_content = get_the_content();

to

$static_page_content = the_content();

Edit: I see you just updated your question to this, yes this will work fine. Shouldn't see any negative side effects from this.
