Flexslider and Elementor problem

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I have a problem displaying a Flexslider in a Layout Visual Editor cell when Elementor is active.

Solution: There is a known issue when working with shortcodes in a Visual Editor cell with Elementor active. Place your Flexslider code in a Content Template cell instead of a Visual Editor cell.

I am trying to create a slider using flexslider, as I did in other websites without problems.

I have create a Post type and I want to show with different images in the flexslider for different posts (one post with multimages filter by ids).

I installed flexslider module and I filtered the view with post id filter :Posts with IDs set by the View shortcode attribute: ids.

To show the slider in this layout I use [wpv-view name="flex-slider" ids=[wpv-post-id]] as in the other websites ( i don't use [wpv-view name="flex-slider" ids="[wpv-post-id]"] cause this gives me problems in the other websites). I tried with "[wpv-post-id"] but it doesn't change results).

But this time, it doesn't appear any image. A part appears the simbol ]. And it appears 2 javascript problems in google chrome console. In the other websites that javascript problems doesn't appear.

The only difference is that in this website I use Elementor builder and in the other websites I don't use it.
If you want to see an example, one url is: hidden link

Hi, we are currently collaborating with the Elementor plugin team to make our systems more compatible. My guess is that you're running into a known issue where Elementor and Layouts have problems rendering shortcodes correctly in Visual Editor cells. To confirm this, please create a Content Template that holds the View shortcode:

[wpv-view name="flex-slider" ids=[wpv-post-id]]

Replace the Visual Editor cell you have in the Grup Layout with a Content Template cell, and choose the Content Template you just created. Review the results, and try adding the quotes around the ids as another test. Please let me know the results.
