 * Hey Everyone,
 * Just a simple question, how do I create a shortcode to display a form on a page?
 * I’ve written the form code in php & html & have uploaded the plugin files, all
   I need to do is write the shortcode.
 * What I have so far is;
 * function add_contact_form() {
    return ” here is all the form code “; }
 * add_shortcode(‘add_contact_form’);
 * What am I missing?
    Thanks in advance.
