 * Hello,
    Use elementor to build the page template. I put the elementor shortcode
   widget on the page. This widget takes the shortcode text from an ACF field. In
   the ACF text field I entered the shortcode >> [site mushroom_assummary assigned_to
   = “post_2841” hide = “bars, if_empty, rating”] I can’t see anything when I publish
   the page. Why?

 * What is that shortcode?
 * It should be written like this:
 *     ```
       [site_reviews_summary assigned_to=post_id hide=bars,if_empty,rating]
       ```
   
 * Also, why are you entering the shortcode into a ACF field? If you are doing this
   for the post ID, this isn’t necessary. “assigned_to=post_id” automatically uses
   the post ID of the current page.
 * Please read the Site Reviews > Help > Shortcodes page.

 * I was wrong to write the shortcode.
    Now I’ve written it well and it’s working
 * incorrect: [site mushroom_assummary assigned_to = “post_2841” hide = “bars, if_empty,
   rating”]
 * correct: [site_reviews_summary assigned_to=”post_ID=”2841″ hide=”bars,summary”]
 * Thanks!

 * It should either look like this (automatically uses the post ID of the current
   page):
 * [site_reviews_summary assigned_to=post_id hide=bars,summary]
 * Or this (if you wish to manually set the post ID yourself):
 * [site_reviews_summary assigned_to=2841 hide=bars,summary]
