 * The [/content_control] shortcode is not working in my elementor templates – it
   just renders as text.
 * The initial shortcode – [content_control roles=”pmpro_role_3” logged_out=”0″ 
   message=””] – does not display as text, but the content between the shortcodes
   displays for all users

 * Hey [@tnlceo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tnlceo/),
 * For the initial shortcode, can you try the following using the classic or Block
   editor?
 * 1) Redo all the double-quotes. They look like backward double-quotes instead 
   of the standard “. Maybe something weird happened if you did a copy/paste.
 * 2) Remove the `logged_out="0"` completely. You shouldn’t need that once you specify
   the `roles=` parameter.
 * Once that works, on a regular post or page, can you try it using Elementor?
 * If those don’t work, please reach out to us via our contact form.

 * That way we can get your details using a more private channel.
 * Cheers!

   first, then will try the above and come back to you with update either way
