    Hello,

    I have installed Contact Form 7 as per the directions given and everything appears to be working fine with the admin panel, but I cannot use the plugin on my webpages, because the plugin does not create the shortcode! I create a new form and it doesn’t have any code under the title line. (“[contact-form]“, for example) The code line remains blank and I have no way of adding the form to my page. Am I the only one with this problem?

    Thank you in advance for your help, as this is driving me nuts!

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?

    Thanks for the reply.

    I did try those things, but they didn’t work. I found an alternate solution, though. I had to add this line of php to my footer.php file, right before the </body> tag: <?php wp_footer(); ?>

    I was missing this and apparently it allows this plugin, and many other I had tried to use, to function properly. I’m not sure what my footer has to do with it all, but I’ll leave that to the experts.

    I have the same problem… I’ve deactivated plugins, switched themes AND posted the tag into my footer with still no success… anyone else have other ideas why I’m getting this error??

    All help gratefully received. Thanks

    For what it’s worth I’ve checked the database and Contact form 2 content is apparently all there, so I figured that, based on the other shortcode I had deduced correctly (in order to have Contact form 1 appear in the page text) that the short code for the duplicated form would be
    [contact-form 2 "Contact form 2"]

    This short code doesn’t get the form to appear, I get this instead

    [contact-form 404 "Not Found"]

    Bit frustrating.
