 * I’m not the most tech savy wordpress maker in the world but i’ve self taught 
   to build my website and learn the plug ins and such.
 * Usually in Elementor the Shortcode widget works fairly easy. Add the shortcode
   widget, copy and paste the short code and it auto populates what ever I place.
 * I’ve already changed the setting “Scripts load method to classic and updated 
   the setting but it’s still not loading.
 * am i missing something.
 * thanks in advanced

 * Hello [@lawrencedoes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lawrencedoes/),
 * I’m inserting the form’s shortcode into the page editing it with Elementor with
   no problems, please, look the screenshots visiting the following links:

 * wow, I feel dumb.
 * I guess I was expecting it to show while still in edit mode. but because when
   i hit enter and apply it would only show the text and not the calculator in edit
   mode I was asssuming that it would do the same live. Typically when i enter a
   short code what ever it correlates to would show after hitting enter. so i was
   thinking i was doing something wrong. You’re awesome. thanks for the quick response.

 * I’m having the same issue.
    I tried placing the shortcode in 2 block types (text,
   shortcode) but both of them are not working on the front end. Can you assist?

 * Hello [@ditsa2013](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ditsa2013/)
 * The plugin includes their own Elementor blocks, you simply should insert the “
   Calculated Fields Form” block and select the form form the list in the block’s
   properties, please, look the screenshot below:
