   Hi,

   Love the [contactform] short code. However, I need to have a hidden field in the form, how do I do that?

   '
   <input type="hidden" name="deptid" value="5">
   '

   Thanks

   Hello liberty,

   What is this hidden field for? Are you using some kind of plugin?

   You might be able to add it to the end of line 60 in /wp-content/themes/[your_theme]/lib/shortcodes/16-contact.php,

   $out .= '<form action="' . esc_url_raw( $url ) . '" method="post">';

   By changing it like this,

   $out .= '<form action="' . esc_url_raw( $url ) . '" method="post"><input type = "hidden" name = "deptid" value = "5">';

   But just adding that will not have any effect unless your using a plugin, etc etc.

   Thanks.

   We use a ticket system and must give department ID in the form to make it work.

   I'll try your suggestion.
