 * Hey,
 * When I try to use the shortcode widget in elementor to add TablePress, I only
   get the code shown. I also tried using the text editor within elementor and the
   same thing happens. Anyone has a solution for this because I really like TablePress
   and hope I can use it.
 * Thanks 🙂

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I’m afraid that this is something that you have to ask the Elementor developers.
   Only they can change their code so that it allows using Shortcodes.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
