   I have been using Contact Form 7 for some time, but I recently had a problem come up that I couldn't seem to figure out.

   When generating a form with CF7, I want to include a custom shortcode that I use throughout the rest of my blog. All the shortcode does is insert a styled div. However, when I enter it in the Form editor, it just shows up as [custom-shortcode] on the front end. I am assuming there may need to be a do_shortcode() somewhere inside the CF7 files, but I can't seem to figure out where.

   Any ideas? I just want to be able to accomplish something like the following:
   

   <p>Your Name (required)<br />
       [text* your-name] </p>
   
   [custom-shortcode]
   
   <p>Your Email (required)<br />
       [email* your-email] </p>

   Where [custom-shortcode] results in something like <div class="custom-div"></div>.

   Thanks for reading! Any feedback or ideas are appreciated.

   Try adding this into the functions.php file in your theme:

   add_filter( 'wpcf7_form_elements', 'mycustom_wpcf7_form_elements' );
   
   function mycustom_wpcf7_form_elements( $form ) {
   	$form = do_shortcode( $form );
   
   	return $form;
   }

   Hi!

   This worked for me as well. I am using the theme Karma with WordPress 3.3.1

   Thanks once again Takauki!

   This tip worked for me, but the output of shortcode was written outside Contact Form 7 tag <form>.

   Any feedback or ideas are appreciated.
