 * Does this work for Custom Posts? I installed the plugin and added shortcode to
   my Custom Posts template in Elementor.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcustom-posts-43%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * I’m still trying to get this to work. I’m a bit confused by your directions on
   your website.
 * I have a custom post to protect that is built with an Elementor template. My 
   Elementor Protected Areas is enabled in Elementor settings for Posts.
 * I created the protected area. Your instructions say to add content to the protected
   area. This confuses me because your specific instructions for Elementor say to
   create the Elementor page and included protected content in the Elementor page.
 * I tried both ways and neither one seems to work properly.
 * 1. I put my content into the Passster protected content area. Then I created 
   an Elementor template for my custom posts and added the passster shortcode for
   the portected area – there is no other content inside of this Elementor template.
   When I open the post in the frontend the password message is displayed. After
   I enter the password I see the content but it is all shortcode.
 * 2. I created the Elementor template and placed my content inside, Then I created
   a Passster protected area and input the password. Next I went back to the Elementor
   template and added a new shortcode widget and entered the passster shortcode.
   When I open the post in the frontend I see the password area but my protected
   content is also visible below that area.

 * Should this work with the Free version or do I have to have a license?

 * Sorry, but I can not really help with Elementor Templates.
    You can use the shortcode
   within pages created with Elementor, but using them within an Elementor Template
   is a totally different case – I don’t have tested that, I will do, but I can 
   not provide you a fix or an estimated time this will be implemented.
 * [@rjpkoek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rjpkoek/) please stop spamming
   in other posts, I don’t want to repeat myself, but if that does not stop, I have
   to report that, thanks.
