Adding shortcode to a page template showed perfectly (including formatting)  in the saved template view but would not show up when displaying live page (other features using shortcodes on same page work fine).  Resolved for now by creating an entirely separate page for the forum and that works as expected.  Curious why it won’t load from an Elementor template though (even though I was able to work around).  I can recreate the template page exactly as a non-template page and all features will work together, so will eventually do that I suppose.
