Hi Yashwardhan,
I like your job a lot. Let´s see if you can help me. I´ve got Power Pack and I´m using the Advance tab widget in wich I put some shortcodes. Once i insert the shortcode (Either ways, selecting it from the list of shortcodes included in the menu or pasting the shortcode inside the text formatting window) I see it working inside the Advaced tab in the construction window, but when I try to see it online in Chrome navigator the disappears and I can´t see it.
Hi dear Yashwardhan
I’ve tried to enable the short-code column regarding to your comments, but I couldn’t find the short-code check box in screen options menu in template section of my WordPress. I’m using Worpress 5.8.1 and elementor page builder, would you please help me to get the short codes check box?
