Hi. Great plugin!

I need to add the following short code for the Ninja Forms Modal Popup to a template:
[ninja_forms_modal_form id=1 text_link=’Request a demo’]

I tried using this but couldn’t get it to work.
<?php shortcode = get_field(’ request_demo_shortcode’); echo do_shortcode($shortcode); ?>

I read some of the documentation but am still having trouble getting it to work.

Thanks!

Hi @cvelez27,

You have a syntax error in your code. Your are missing a $ for the variable $shortcode. Change your code to the following: <?php $shortcode = get_field(’ request_demo_shortcode’); echo do_shortcode($shortcode); ?>

Also you need to ensure that $shortcode contains the correct data. print_r($shortcode); to find out if it has any data.

it is also possible that shortcode unfortunately get formatted, than this should work:

<?php $shortcode = get_field('request_demo_shortcode', false, false);
do_shortcode($shortcode);?>

(3 parameter should be false)
