# Shortcode Not Working – PRO Version

 * **Hello,**
 * I am using the **PRO version** of the NicheAddons Restaurant plugin and trying
   to set up the **tab menu** to display different categories of my menu (main courses,
   desserts, beverages, etc.). However, I am experiencing the following issues:
    1. **Shortcode is not working:**
    2.  - Instead of displaying the template, the shortcode `[narestaurant_elementor_template
          id="XXX"]` is only shown as plain text on the page.
        - This happens both inside the tab widget and when placing the shortcode on
          a separate test page.
    3. **The plugin is properly installed:**
    4.  - The plugin is active and available in Elementor.
        - I have created multiple Elementor templates and used the correct template
          ID.
    5. **Troubleshooting steps I have tried:**
    6.  - Added the shortcode inside a “Shortcode” widget → still displays as plain
          text.
        - Cleared cache & regenerated Elementor CSS/styles → no effect.
        - Deactivated & reinstalled the plugin → issue persists.
        - Tested the shortcode directly in PHP with `echo do_shortcode('[narestaurant_elementor_template
          id="XXX"]');` → still no output.
    7. **Issue also occurs on the official demo page:**
    8.  - I checked and noticed that the issue is also present on the official plugin
          demo page.
 * Is there a known fix for this issue, or will there be an update to resolve it?
 * i use version 1.6.3
 * Thanks for your support!
 * **Best regards,
   Michael
