Thanks for your help nisasafdar
Unfotunately that solution does not work and I think it might be because Elementor does not all PHP to run in an HTML widget.
As an alternative I tried to create a shortcode in the functions.php file but I am not having success with that either. Here is my code:
// Add Shortcode to use acf field value in scrolling marquee
function marquee_text_shortcode( $atts , $content = null ) {
$marquee_text = get_field(‘marquee_txt’);
return ‘‘ . $marquee_text . ‘‘;
}
add_shortcode( ‘scroll_txt’, ‘marquee_text_shortcode’ );
I have tried using [scroll_txt] in he shortcode widget and in a text box widget but only the name of the shortcode is displayed.
Any other suggestions?
