 * I’m loving Ultimate Member plugin, it’s powerful yet easy to use and I’m starting
   to use more advanced features. I want to know how to get a shortcode for a custom
   field. I added an extra field called ‘device’ in the login form, I want to use
   that for an external url like other shortcodes. For example I have a page with
   an external link [http://form.jotformpro.com/form/000000000000?yourName%5Bfirst%5D=%5Buser_firstname%5D&yourName%5Blast%5D=%5Buser_lastname%5D](http://form.jotformpro.com/form/000000000000?yourName%5Bfirst%5D=%5Buser_firstname%5D&yourName%5Blast%5D=%5Buser_lastname%5D)–
   I want to append this custom ‘device’ field with a shortcode, so I would be adding
   something like &device=[device]. I can’t find the syntax for this. Please could
   someone assist?

 * Please hire a developer to modify your WP forms. The form method attribute you
   want to create is not supported on this Free UM forum.
 * Thank you,
