 * Hi Forum,
 * I’ve modified the default form and changed its name to Contact-FR. Unfortunately,
   the identifier showing in the shortcode is still “formulaire-de-contact-1″ ([
   cf7-form cf7key=”formulaire-de-contact-1”]). I want to change this identifier
   to Contact-FR: how should I proceed (even with direct database modification)?
 * Thanks in advance for any help!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fchanging-the-form-identifier%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * It’s not Contact Form 7’s shortcode.
