What it does
A standard form is usually limited to its own input fields. If you want a payment option, a dynamic calculation or content generated by another plugin to show up inside the form itself, you normally need custom code. This add-on handles that by processing shortcodes placed within your form, so anything a shortcode can output can live in the same structure as your fields.
The add-on works alongside the NEX-Forms drag-and-drop builder. You insert a shortcode into a form element, and it runs when the form is displayed. It accepts your own custom shortcodes as well as shortcodes from third-party plugins, and no coding is needed to set it up. Content produced by shortcodes is responsive and retina ready, so it displays properly across devices and screen resolutions.
Best for
- Sites already building forms with NEX-Forms
- Developers adding custom shortcode features to forms
- Site owners embedding other plugins' content in forms
Features
Custom shortcodes inside forms

Responsive, retina ready output
Content generated by shortcodes in your forms adapts to different devices and screen resolutions, keeping it readable on phones, tablets and desktops.
No coding required
Insert and manage shortcodes within your form elements through the interface, without writing PHP or editing theme files to make them work.

Mix standard inputs with shortcode-driven elements to build form layouts and interactions shaped around what your particular site needs.
