 * Hey
    I just tried to add a shortcode inside a input field but it doesn’t get 
   rendered on the front end. Can this be accomplished?
 * I also tried to take the widget counter.php and made my own procounter.php with
   TEXT fields instead of NUMBER but the same result.

 * Please take the time to look into this. It would give us a world of opportunities.

 * What particular input field are you adding which shortcode to? Generally, one
   does not add a shortcode to an input field but to an Elementor shortcode widget.
   More information required 🙂
 * Cheers!

 * For an exemple to the counter widget. It would be awesome if I could enter number
   of sold Products from a certain category as the end number.
