# Use shortcode within template

 * We would like to place the shortcode within our template so the entire page content
   is limited to members only. This would allow staff to create the pages/posts 
   without having to add the shortcode every time. It would also allow us to restrict
   the comments section.
 * Do you know how we would implement this?

 * Hi Kevin,
 * Sorry to say, but this isn’t something Wild Apricot provides – this is basic 
   WordPress functionality, see [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/)
 * Hope this helps,
