 * Hi, I’m trying add a custom shortcode to the booking form which brings through
   some user data. However the shortcode doesn’t get translated into that data. 
   Is this possible or does the booking calendar prevent this?

 * Hello.
    Its depend of what shortcode you are try to add. Please read more about
   the booking form fields configuration [here](http://wpbookingcalendar.com/help/booking-form-fields/).

 * Hello, thanks for your quick reply. The shortcode I want to add to the Form is
   not one of your predefined ones. I have created a shortcode to bring through 
   some user meta data, but when that shortcode is added to the Forms box it’s not
   converted, and just comes through as the shortcode reference i.e. [my_shortcode]

 * Its possible to use inside of the Booking > Settings > Fields page at “Booking
   Form” form the shortcode like this (its will be the text field for the entering
   some data):
    `[text my_shortcode ""]` so then at the “Content of Booking Fields”
   form you can use this shortcode: `[my_shortcode]`
 * But if you was used this shortcode `[my_shortcode]` in the Booking > Settings
   > Fields page at “Booking Form” form, so its not supported. sorry.
