I use the element “shortcode” in Elementor and insert “[open]” but it still doesn`t show anything. I also insert all the setting for the plugin. * Can anyone help me and tell me why it doesn`t work? * Thank you, Thomas - This topic was modified 6 years ago by [tomtom3000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomtom3000/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshortcode-doesnt-work-with-elementor%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Author [Noah Hearle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/designextreme/) * (@designextreme) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-doesnt-work-with-elementor/#post-12860876) * [@tomtom3000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomtom3000/) Thanks for sending your query about using the shortcode in the Elementor page builder.

Then use the basic shortcode or something with parameters (such as `[open]`). It will appear in the page. * Thread Starter [tomtom3000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomtom3000/) * (@tomtom3000) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-doesnt-work-with-elementor/#post-12866058) * That`s what i do but it shows still nothing.

` * The style and script is loading, but this bit appears to be empty. * Just checking – you have entered the setup and set the default settings here? Also, you need to save the opening hours once to set these – even if it’s entirely closed. * Also, are you able to run any other short code in there – just to confirm this is the plugin’s fault and not the theme or the page editor itself? * Thanks, * Noah - This reply was modified 6 years ago by [Noah Hearle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/designextreme/). Reason: Other shortcode * Plugin Author [Noah Hearle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/designextreme/) * (@designextreme) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-doesnt-work-with-elementor/#post-12875787) * [@tomtom3000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomtom3000/) I am about to create a new release of the plugin. Please can you check the previous message as I believe it is an issue caused by another plugin (maybe the theme) rather than this one? * I’ve tested this using just a few plugins, including Elementor activated and the `[open]` shortcode returns the expected HTML output. * Thread Starter [tomtom3000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomtom3000/) * (@tomtom3000) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-doesnt-work-with-elementor/#post-12879798) * [@designextreme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/designextreme/) Yes i entered the setup and set the default settings. I also saved the regular opening hours in the “We`re open!” tab. I tried to use the shortcode of the “WP Forms” plugin and it works as it should, so we can also exclude that. I also tried to use another theme than astra (with elementor) and i still get the same issue. Please let me know as soon as you release the new version of the plugin.

It doesn’t have a fix for your issue because I cannot replicate the problem. I still think it is another plugin interfering with the display, something outside of the Elementor page editor. * Can you drop me an email about this? It’s wordpress dash plugins at designextreme dot com. Thanks! * Plugin Author [Noah Hearle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/designextreme/) * (@designextreme) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-doesnt-work-with-elementor/#post-12881548) * [@tomtom3000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomtom3000/) Resolved. It was not related to Elementor or any other plugins. The plugin requires the opening hours to be set once before they are displayed publicly. Currently, if debugging was enabled, it would show an error as nothing being set. * I am going to change how this works for new installations – in subsequent versions I will set the initial opening hours to “Closed” for all days of the week. So, if nothing is set and the shortcode or widget is applied, it will reflect this.
