   Hi All -

   I'm building a custom website and am using the Contact Form 7 plugin for my forms. I've activated the plugin and copied the generated code (ex [contact-form 1 "Contact"]) into individual posts like I've always done and when I preview the post's URL everything works.

   The hiccup is because of this particular design I'm using the following code to call the post into my template:

   <?php
   $post_id = 3;
   $queried_post = get_post($post_id);
   echo $queried_post->post_content;
   ?>

   So when I preview website instead of seeing the form I see [contact-form 1 "Contact"].

   Now like I said, when I preview the post meaning going to the individual post's page I see the form so I know my problem centers around the code I'm using to pull the post into the template and the Contact Form 7 plugin. What I don't know is I can resolve the issue. Is there another line of code I can use that will call the plugin? I figured with querying the post's content that would work but I guess not.

   Anyone have any ideas?

   Thanks in advance!

   Hi

   There is some code someplace that applies the filters to ->post_content that the_content() does, but I can't find it at the moment. I suggest using a wp_query loop which gives you access to all template tags

   $queriedPost = new WP_Query();
    $queriedPost->query('p=3');
    while ($queriedPost->have_posts()) : $queriedPost->the_post();
       the_content();
    endwhile;

   Thank you stvwlf! Worked like a charm. I'll have to keep this in mind for future.
