 * Is there a way to use this plugin when pages are built with a visual builder 
   like elementor or visual composer? When they are active the Gutenberg and classic
   editor do not work and would override the content.

 * Hi [@mycustomsoftware](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mycustomsoftware/)
   
   the best way is to write the shortcodes manually and copy them into a HTML block
   of the pagebuilder.
 * You’ll find shortcode examples at the plugin page: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/structured-content/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/structured-content/)

 * I have this same question, but in Thrive Themes. I see there are shortcodes, 
   but I don’t see how to create the FAQ, then use the shortcode as it has to be
   done on the page, without the page builder editor. Can you give a little more
   info on how to do this? I want to add these to my current pages, but I can’t 
   seem to figure out how to. Thanks!

 * Hi locdog… check you have the quotes (“) typed correctly – when you copy and 
   paste the shortcode from the support site, they are the wrong typeface for some
   page builders – have a watch of this video – [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCZ2srkQ8k8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCZ2srkQ8k8)
