# Adding shortcode

 * Hello
 * I am really struggling to follow the advice provided at [https://www.designwall.com/guide/dw-question-answer-plugin/shortcodes/](https://www.designwall.com/guide/dw-question-answer-plugin/shortcodes/)
   and would appreciate more clarity. In particular, the advice,
 * “To use the shortcode, just add the shortcode in the Text or Visual views of 
   the Post or Page content editor. That’s all! You’ve created your shortcode as
   you want.”
 * leaves me baffled as to what exactly I am to copy-paste into the “Post or Page
   content editor” and what post or page is being referred to here. (For example,
   whenever I copy-paste text into the text or visual view content editors of my‘
   Ask Questions’ or ‘Questions List’ pages, this text just appears upfront of these
   pages for my users to see.) Presumably, the advice originally referred to actual
   shortcodes. Can somebody please help?
 * Many thanks!

 * Hi,
    – If you want to show the question list, you can use the following shortcode:[
   dwqa-list-questions]
 * – If you want to show the submit question form, you can use the following shortcode:[
   dwqa-submit-question-form]
 * Regards,
    DesignWall team.

 * Dear DesignWall team
 * Thank you for your reply. I had already covered these two shortcodes and implemented
   them through reading the content under the two subheaders ‘Set up Questions List
   page’ and ‘Set up Ask Question Page’ in the list of headers at [https://www.designwall.com/guide/dw-question-answer-plugin/](https://www.designwall.com/guide/dw-question-answer-plugin/).
   Given that a separate topic is listed as ‘Shortcodes’ in the *same* list and 
   that under this topic the content I have quoted in my previous post is provided,
   one would have thought that it is not just the shortcodes ‘[dwqa-list-questions]’
   and ‘[dwqa-submit-question-form]’ that are being referred to (if at all). This
   is why I raised the query.
