I can’t help you there as I’m not familiar with Elementor. You may want to get in touch with your theme developer and ask them about this (or hire someone to do this for you if you don’t know how to / don’t have the time for it). * Thread Starter [cubicovich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cubicovich/) * (@cubicovich) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-583/#post-10325254) * under the button, the text is normal, there’s a shortcode in it, so if your shortcode looked like a normal editor * how do I display views and comments for a single page? - This reply was modified 8 years ago by [cubicovich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cubicovich/). * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-583/#post-10325338) * Well, you can [create a custom shortcode](https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API) just for this. * Get the comments count of the current post using the [get_comments_number()](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_comments_number/) function, the views count via [wpp_get_views()](https://github.com/cabrerahector/wordpress-popular-posts/wiki/2.-Template-tags#wpp_get_views), and then output that with your custom shortcode. * Thread Starter [cubicovich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cubicovich/) * (@cubicovich) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-583/#post-10325900) * I understand, thanks for the patience, so in your plug-in there is no such function * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-583/#post-10325942) * Don’t worry about it. And no, unfortunately there isn’t a shortcode that does what you need which is why I suggested creating one. It really isn’t difficult, check the link I shared in my previous comment for details.
