 * Hello,
    Is there a way to make the submit button that is an `input` in to a `
   button`?

 * Hi [@trendypixels](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trendypixels/),
 * In theory this should be ok, however I’m not sure what the benefit would be. 
   Is there a particular use-case for `<button>` instead of `<input type="submit"
   >`? We can certainly look at changing this or at least providing a filter if 
   that helps.

 * Hey [@pipdig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pipdig/),
    Thank you for your
   reply.
 * I want to style the button, and add a drop shadow that inherit’s the color from
   the button background color with the help of a pseudo element, but the `input`
   tag doesn’t support pseudo elements.
    Here is a [jsfiddle](https://jsfiddle.net/CreativeDreams/cy3x1zq6/11/)
   with an example.

 * Apologies for the delay in replying. We will add a filter in the next update,
   which should be ready within the next 24-48 hours. I’ll reply via this thread
   to let you know asap.

 * Hi [@trendypixels](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trendypixels/),
 * This has been pushed in update 2.9.7. You can now use the following filter to
   convert the `input` button to an HTML `button`
 * `add_filter('zrf_submit_as_button', '__return_true');`
