Home Elementor Shortcode Widget
Shortcode Widget
The Shortcode widget places a WordPress shortcode, a short code in square brackets, onto an Elementor page. Plugins use shortcodes to insert things like contact forms, booking calendars or galleries.
Videos not enabled.
The shortcode must be copied exactly, brackets and quote marks included, or the page may show the code as plain text instead of the feature. Shortcodes depend on their plugin, so if that plugin is removed the feature disappears.
Before you finish
- View the published page and confirm the feature appears, not the bracketed code.
