   For the special mail tags fetching [_post_*] data to work they must be inside the post / page's content.

   However, my form is in the template files. Is there any way to use the [_post_*] when the form is outside of the the_content ?

   Thanks!

   Place <?php echo do_shortcode( '[contact-form 1 "Contact form 1"]' ); ?> code inside the loop.

   I use my form inside an if statement, so I placed it before the endwhile; ?>` and it works fine - but the [_post_title] mail tag still doesn't work.

   Any idea why?

   This is ewhat I have:

   <?php
   						if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
   							echo'<h3><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" rel="bookmark">'.get_the_title($post->ID).'</a></h3>' ;
   
   							echo the_content();
   						endwhile; 
   
   						if( in_category('special-offers') ) : ?>
   <p>Apply for this offer by filling out the simple enquiry form below and we will be in touch shortly.</p><!-- this is a html section -->
   <?php echo do_shortcode( '[contact-form 3 "Spcial Offers"]' ); ?>
   <?php else :
   /*php for other*/
   endif;
   						?>

   Thanks again!

   You placed <?php echo do_shortcode( '[contact-form 3 "Spcial Offers"]' ); ?> after the endwhile ?
