# Dynamic hidden field’s short code doesn’t works properly.

* Dynamic hidden field’s shortcode doesn’t work properly. It shows HTML tags in
email content.
* It happens only with dynamic hidden fields. If we add HTML in contact form 7
message body, it works properly and changes HTML to content.

* Fill this form you receive a dynamic post with HTML tags. It happens after update
my WordPress version to 5.0.
* Can you help regarding this issue?

* [@vipingarg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vipingarg/) You can’t put HTML
inside a text/hidden input. HTML inputs store their values inside an attribute(
e.g. `` ). That means if you try to put HTML tags inside
it, they have to be escaped to maintain valid HTML syntax. I suspect that’s what’s
going on.
* I think you probably want to rework how you’re doing things – just use the dynamic
items for the actual dynamic variables. Keep the HTML you want to use inside
the email template itself, and just use the tags inside that markup instead.
* [@estudiomagenta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/estudiomagenta/) sounds
like you don’t actually have a “quoteticket” shortcode any longer. That output
is controlled by the shortcode

* [@sevenspark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sevenspark/) Before WordPress
update, it was working fine and was converts all HTML tags to text. Now a hyperlinked
text is displayed with the HTML tags in the mail.

* That conversion is not something that the DTX controls – it literally just returns
what you add in the tag into the input’s value attribute. It doesn’t handle anything
else. So while something else may have changed, it’s not within the control of
the DTX.
* I still think setting it up the way I described above is the best solution anyway,
so that’s how I’d recommend resolving it.

I didn’t get
your point.
* I have used contact form 7- 4.0.3 with Dynamic extension 1.2.
These were working
fine. But After the update of both, They give errors. =======================
======================================= Now Again I have downgraded the both
plugins, It works fine for HTML templates. But no response message is displaying.
==============================================================
* The updated version of Dynamic text extension is not working good with updated
cf7.
They didn’t convert [dynamic-text] short code’s HTML content to visual
text. That’s the issue.
