    You should create a Child theme to make your changes. If you do not, all of your changes will be lost if you update your theme.

    This is an outline for the shortcode:

    // Shortcode to return a form
// Usage: [showform]
function mam_showform_func() {
   $form = '';
   // put code here to add the form HTML to $form
   return $form;
}
add_shortcode('showform','mam_showform_func');

    Just put this in your functions.php file and add the form HTML where indicated.
