# Profile form shortcode usage

 * Hi
 * I’m having an issue using profile form shortcodes inside the profile tabs.
 * If I place [ultimatemember form_id=”444″] in the profile tab text editor it just
   shows the shortcode as text on the front end. I know how to add the form in the
   backend using the Pre-definded content option , but I don’t want to show just
   one form on the profile tab. I want to use Bootstrap nav tabs inside this profile
   tab and put the form in one of the bootstrap tabs.
 * I’ve tried adding a custom profile tab using these instructions [https://gist.github.com/ultimatemember/8cdaf61e7bd9de35512c](https://gist.github.com/ultimatemember/8cdaf61e7bd9de35512c)
 * and adding the form shortcode like this:
    <?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[ultimatemember
   form_id=”444″]’); ?> But the page won’t load. I just get a blank screen. The 
   tab loads if I don’t use this shortcode.
 * This is not a plugin or theme conflict. I turned off all other plugins and changed
   my theme and the shortcode still doesn’t work.
 * Can profile form shortcodes be used on the site?

    **Are you using a third-party
   plugin to add the shortcode? Could you please provide the full code that you’ve
   added to your site? Please enclose the code with the CODE format in the Editor.

 * Hi, I am placing this text directly into the profile tab editor. I am not using
   a plugin to add shortcodes. I am not using code.
 * I go to Ultimate Member > Profile Tabs, select a tab and paste this verbatim 
   into the editor:
    [ultimatemember form_id=”444″].
 * It simply displays [“444”] on the front end.
 * Am I trying to use this in a way it wasn’t designed to be used?

 * “Profile tabs” is an UM paid extension
    and there is no support for the extensions
   here.

 * Thank you. I couldn’t find where to create a support ticket on the website. It’s
   hidden well. Sent a support request now.
