 * Dear support,
 * I have an issue with showing the event description on my website.
   I use the Elementor
   Pro theme builder feature, and with using the shortcodes were able to make a 
   nice custom theme. Only problem now is displaying the information.All codes work,
   from featured image to location, date and items. But not the Content Heading.
   I know it somehow somewhat works by displaying a title ‘about this event’, and
   thats the only thing i ever saw.
 * I hope you could help me further regarding this issue,

 * Sorry for any confusion!
   There are two elements that are not produced by shortcode
   which are the title and content of the event. This follows the generic way that
   you would add the title and content of a post. [https://snipboard.io/QyCHvs.jpg](https://snipboard.io/QyCHvs.jpg)
   The content heading is meant to output just the “About the event” heading without
   the content.Does this help? I will update the instructions in our guide as I 
   can see this being confusing.– Craig

 * Hi Craig,
 * I just checked and you’re right. I’m very new with website building, and didn’t
   know it worked that way. Thank you for informing me. Really love the plugin!
 * Appreciate the help, and again thank you.

 * No problem!
   I updated that doc so that the Post Title and Post Content widgets
   are mentioned along with the shortcodes. Hopefully that will help future users.
   I’m really glad you like the plugin as well! No obligation but reviews really
   help spread the word about the plugin:[https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/event-genius/reviews/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/event-genius/reviews/)
   Either way, I’m happy to help if you need anything else.– Craig
