 * I’m getting an error message anytime I try to get back to a generated elementor
   shortcode to edit the element.
 * 1. I generate a new elementor shortcode editing an elementor element (a button
   in this case) through the shortcodes for elementor plugin
    2. I can use it properly
   3. when I go back to the elementor page of the element of the shortcode I get
   the message that the page cannot be open (so I cannot edit it anymore) as the
   content area in my page hasn’t been found. It says I have to include the function
   <<the_content>> in the current template for Elementor to work on that page…
 * How can I fix it?
 * Thanks
