 * Hi,
    If the content block doesn’t exist the short code is displayed.
 * Is it somehow possible to not display anything at all if the content block/short
   code id doesn’t exist.

 * If the content block shortcode is linked to a non-existing content block, nothing
   will be displayed. The shortcode is only displayed when the plugin is not installed
   or activated.
