Mail forms in columns

    As I am using the WooTheme Mystile (among others) due to it being responsive, I am trying to build a Contact form 7 mail form which is to be placed in two columns for the “data entry fields” and one column for the “subject”- and “message”- fields.

    A short version of the code would look like this:
    [one_half]
    <p>First name (required):
    [text* Firstname]</p>
    [/one_half]
    [one_half_last]
    <p>Post code (required):
    [text* Postcode]</p>
    [/one_half_last]
    [full_width padding=”1px 5px 0 5px”]
    <p>Subject: (required)
    [text* Subject]</p>
    <p>Your Message (required):
    [textarea* Message]</p>
    <p align=”right”>[submit “Send”]</p>
    [/full_width]

    However, when I do so, it shows up in just one column and also shows the “column short codes”!
    Does Contact form 7 not work with “column short codes”?
    Any suggestions?

    I don’t know what the “column short codes” is.

    Column shortcodes code written in [] as you are using to generate the mail forms.
    Among others you can split a page in to several columns – e.g. one at the top, two after the first section of the page and then one again at the bottom of the page, or something similar to this:
    One column which goes right across the page as it normally is used on a page.
    A column where you can enter some A column where you can enter some
    tesxt and where the text continues tesxt and where the text continues
    on the next line automatically. on the next line automatically.
    And then the text can come back to just one column again to continue writing.
    The main advantage of columns in comparison to Tables is that columns are “responsive” which means that they behave much better on smaller screens like e.g. smart phones!
    Popular versions of this tool is e.g. the build in column builder in WooThemes, Column Shortcodes, Shortcodes Ultimate etc.

    Column Shortcodes is a WP plugin. I’m having the same issue – not being able to use them within a CF7 form. Thanks!
