    Hello, I am trying to use the shortcode functionality to hide certain content within a page.

    I have created a separate user account with the correct role assigned, but this user is NOT able to see the content that should be hidden by the shortcode.

    For users not logged in, the content is correctly hidden obviously, and for administrator user the content is visible.

    Im using Flatsome theme

    Well – infact I tried removing the Shortcode, and just restrict the content with the selector in the settings, chosing UX Blocks – it does not hide the content for non-logged in users.

    Ok – For some reason “Role” does not work with Flatsome at all. But Level does?!

    Next problem. When using shortcode [restrict level=”1″] inside a “text” element, that element will “float” together with next text element and mess up the UX builder, rendering it useless until you delete the shortcode from the original text editor, but then resulting in it generating 1 new text element from each textline there is within the column… Its a mess to say the least.

    How do I use this shortcode succesfully within the UX builder?

    Thank you for reporting this and for providing all the details.

    I have closed https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/shortcode-not-working-with-flatsome/ to use this thread.

    I am not familiar with Flatsome, but it sounds like there is an incompatibility.

    Just to be clear, these are the issues you are facing:

    1. the [restrict] shortcode works fine when using the “role” parameter, but not the “level” parameter? Can you verify that you are using the level name, not the title or ID?
    2. When using the shortcode in combination with Flatsome, elements/text start behaving strangely?
