 * Please note I have forms on my site and I want to link a image to the form, the
   form has a short code
    [wpforms id=”1601″] But if you click on the image it only
   gives option to add URL
 * Please help – how do I convert the shortcode….I am totally new at this so do 
   not understand coding or anything difficult.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fconvert-shortcode-to-link%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * the shortcode is to make the form appear in your content. If you want a button
   to link then the button must link to the page the form is on.

 * Thank you however WP Forms is not on a page – I don’t want it to link to a page,
   I want to click on a button and this must open the form, I thought you could 
   click on a picture insert link and then the form pops up.

 * Where is the form going to be located? It has to be on a page or a modal popup.
