# Adding Theme-Specific Shortcode to HTML Before/After Form Field

* Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to add a theme-specific shortcode to
the HTML before and after a field.
* I need to be able to use a content toggle to show/hide specific parts of the
form – and toggle as needed by the user. The theme I’m using does this via shortcodes
but placing them in the HTML before/after boxes doesn’t work.
* Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

* I added a support ticket but have not heard back. No one here has any ideas?
* I guess the real question is, do the HTML before and after fields only accept
HTML or would PHP work?
* And the larger question is…how would I add a content toggle around selected fields?
* Thanks in advance.

* Hi Patrick the HTML only accepts HTML. As far as I know you cannot use PHP code.
* In regards to your support ticket, I am sure [@mike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mike/)
Challis will get back to you soon.
* In regards to you comment…
* > how would I add a content toggle around selected fields?
* What exactly do you mean? Can you give me an example?
* Thank you

* Thanks…I’ve no doubt Mike will respond shortly.
* By content toggle, I mean the theme I’m using allows use of a toggle shortcode
which can pop open and closed certain content. The forms I’m building are rather
large and intimidating at first glance…but the user needn’t fill in all fields–
just what is applicable to them. So I’d like to have “sections” closed such that
the user can pop open the areas that are applicable and fill in the fields.

* Hi Patrick, unfortunately for you with the current plugin version it is not possible
to enable such feature. You will have to wait until [@mike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mike/)
Challis replies to you.
* Thank you

* Hi Patrick, because the option you are trying to set up on your form is not currently
available it is safe to mark this support thread as resolved.
* Perhaps in a future release [@mike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mike/)
Challis might include that option.
* Kind regards

* Agreed. I would add it to the “wish list” of features but it does seem to be
outside the scope of what the plugin is capable of doing. I never did hear back
from Mike though, which is somewhat disappointing.
