 * I’m receiving this error at the bottom of all my contact forms? What do I need
   to do to fix it?

 * I modified the contact-form-7-custom-skins.php file and removed this error as
   the developer hasn’t gotten around to it.
 * Around line 281 this is what now appears in my modified version:
 *     ```
       $wpcf7_form='<div class="cf7ct_form'.$atts['id'].'"><div id="form_header">'.$data["hd_cnt"].'</div><div class="cf7ct_form_wpcf7">'.do_shortcode("[contact-form-7 id=\"".$shortcode_id."\"]").'</div><div id="form_footer">'.$data["ft_cnt"].'</div></div>';
       		/* Original variable - modified to remove error from form $wpcf7_form='<div class="cf7ct_form'.$atts['id'].'"><div id="form_header">'.$data["hd_cnt"].'</div><div class="cf7ct_form_wpcf7">'.do_shortcode("[contact-form-7 id=\"".$shortcode_id."\"]").'<input type="hidden" value="'.$security_token.'_'.$atts['id'].'" name="cf7ct_security_token" id="cf7ct_security_token"></div><div id="form_footer">'.$data["ft_cnt"].'</div></div>'; */
       ```
   
 * I retained the original line as a reference, but removed the call for the security
   token to be dropped into the form output. This removed the giant “BAD REQUEST”
   h1 and the error code.
