title: How do I use a PHP Short Code from custom field as an href link on Wordpress?
body: <p>On my wordpress page (which I will use as a template to duplicate) I need to use a custom field 'dropbox' as an href url.</p>
  
  <p>I created a PHP Code Snippet (shortcode) to use as a replacement for the url: [xyz-ips snippet="dropbox"]</p>
  
  <p>Here is the PHP within the shortcode:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php the_field('dropbox'); ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is the code on the page:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="[xyz-ips snippet=" dropbox"]"="" target="_new"&gt;download the documents&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This short code will not pass the url from custom field to the href.  Any thoughts?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
