# Showing shortcode element after submit?

 * Hi All,
 * I am currently using a download/file manager plugin in WordPress for my documents(
   WordPress Download Manager). The way it works is that when I want to create a
   download link, I just embed the short code created by the plugin, and it auto
   generates an icon with the download link.
    Is it possible to embed this short
   code into the “after submission” section of Forminator? I want to gate some specific
   downloads behind a form, if there’s another good method of gating content behind
   a form please let me know.

 * Hi [@darrenbench](https://wordpress.org/support/users/darrenbench/),
 * I’m afraid that Forminator doesn’t support shortcodes in confirmation notification
   at the moment.
 * However, it does support HTML so you can have similar effect with that, it would
   just require bit more manual work.
    While editing your “After Submission” message
   make sure to switch to Text editor first. In there you can use HTML like this
   to create your own download icon:
 *     ```
       <a href="LINK_TO_FILE_TO_DOWNLOAD" class="my-confirmation-download-icon">
         <img src="URL_OF_DOWNLOAD_ICON">
       </a>
       ```
   
 * You would of course need to replace placeholders to set the download link to 
   your desired file, and URL of the download icon that you want to use.
 * You can use **.my-confirmation-download-icon** class to further customize the
   styling with some CSS.
 * Hope this helps.
 * Cheers,
    Predrag
