# Shortcode not working on Elementor Shortcode widget

 * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-not-working-on-elementor-shortcode-widget/)
 * I’ve created a register form in forminator and copied the shortcode and introduced
   it into the Elementor shortcode widget, but it only show a grey rectangle in 
   the editing mode, and in the preview mode it shows nothing at all. I’ve tried
   creating a template and it doesn’t work neither. The shortcode only works in 
   the wordpress editing view, but not on Elementor and there is where I edit everything.
   
   Please help! thank you

 * Hi there [@gemurri](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gemurri/)
 * I see a Forminator registration form here: [https://www.hoyvolo.com/index.php/register/](https://www.hoyvolo.com/index.php/register/)
 * By default, the registration form will not appear if you’re already logged-in.
   So be sure to view your page while logged-out, or view it in an incognito/private
   window
 * You can also set it to display even if logged-in by disabling the option to “
   Hide the form if a user is already logged in” if you wish under User Registration
   > Additional Settings.
 * Cheers!

 * Hey,
    I exactly have the same issue… My forms is only visible when i’m logged
   in ! in private mode / logged out nobody can see the form on my pop up…
 * my website is : [http://rockdontstock.fr/](http://rockdontstock.fr/) and the 
   defective pop-up is on the button “LEGIT CHECK”
 * I asked the elementor support but they said that it’a a third part plug in and
   cannot help me with that…

 * Hi [@elliothlr2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elliothlr2/)
 * Please check if your Forminator form is set to load via Ajax (in form settings
   in “Behavior” tab) and if it is, try disabling that option.
 * If it doesn’t help, please start a new, separate ticket of your own (even though
   the issue seems to be similar/same) and we’ll assist you there.
 * Kind regards,
    Adam
