 * Nice plugin, almost exactly what I need! But is there a way to get shortcodes
   inserted in the field working? I am trying to use this to display some pages 
   that contains Contact Form 7 shortcode.

 * Hi there, that’s a good point. I’ll take a look and see if I can see what’s going
   on.

 * Hey, so I checked into this, you could do something like suggested in this doc:
   [https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acfformat_value/](https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acfformat_value/)
 * Replacing the field name of textarea with acf_code_field.

 * Thanks! Last time I ended up using `do_shortcode` for whole code field, e.g. `
   echo do_shortcode(get_field('code') );` I see there is almost similar solution
   in docs 🙂
