# Copy and Paste Shortcode

 * I am having trouble finding this because searches keep showing me how to add 
   a shortcode to a post but this is not what I want. What I want is this…
 * I want to show my users the actual shortcode so they can copy and paste it so
   they can add it to THEIR post. Problem of course is when I add the shortcode 
   it works and you can’t see the actual code that created it. I hope that makes
   sense.
 * I thought if I wrapped it in  it would work but it does not. Please help!

 * Try posting `<code>& #91;shortcode& #93;</code>` with the space between `&` and`#`
   removed.

 * ah yes you just need to add an extra bracket around start and finish boy that
   is tough to explain even here because you can’t show it because again it Works!
   So you can’t see the code but Thanks I did get it 🙂
