   Steps I'm taking:

   1. Install the plugin. (e.g. contact form [wpcf] )
   2. Create a php page in dreamweaver and use /*
   Template Name: Contact
   */
   3. Add the plugin code in the body: [wpcf]
   4. Add a new page in wordpress admin and select the template name on the right side.

   When I load the page all I see is [wpcf] in the body. The contact form doesn't come up.

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: Contact
   */
   ?>

   would be correct
   also, don't use dreamweaver - use notepad or similar

   Yes, I've done it like:

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: Contact
   */
   ?>

   I'm still just seeing the text: [wpcf] in the body and not the actual form. If I'm editing the page using a php editor (e.g. dreamweaver) do I need to put something else in the body to recognize the plugin?
