# Using Shortcode within widget

 * Hello — I would like to use shortcode within the plugin (Genesis Feature Page
   Advanced). Specifically, I’d like to use the shortcode generated by the MaxButtons
   plugin to include additional buttons in the feature page text area (using the“
   custom content” field). Is it possible to use shortcode within the custom content
   field?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi rkutzley,
 * Shortcodes are not currently supported in the Custom Content field, but this 
   is a great idea! I will work on adding this for the next version. This should
   be up by next week.
 * Thanks,
    Nick

 * I was wondering if you implemented allowing shortcodes in the actual content 
   or custom content yet? I don’t see it in the changelog.

 * Hi wputler and rkutzley,
 * I just released a new version of the plugin, 1.8.1. Shortcodes are now enabled
   in the custom content option.
 * Best,
    Nick
