Title: No shortcode ID Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # No shortcode ID * Resolved [jhasenklein](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jhasenklein/) * (@jhasenklein) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-shortcode-id/) * Hi, * I’m using Contact Form 7 to create a simple contact form on my site (milkenknights. com). We are running FlatOn Pro theme on WordPress 4.3.1. * After I created the form, I went to embed it and found that the shortcode is incomplete. It says: * > [contact-form-7 id= * I tried to create a second form and the same thing happened. I tried leaving it blank, putting in 1, and putting in 1234 but I am obviously still getting the error: * > [contact-form-7 404 “Not Found”] * Thanks!

I named it “Contact Us” and did save it. I created a second one just to test it and no shortcode there either. * I followed all of the steps from the link and no luck. * Plugin Author [Takayuki Miyoshi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takayukister/) * (@takayukister) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-shortcode-id/#post-6658685) * Try switching to the default theme (twentyfifteen). * [davmerit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davmerit/) * (@davmerit) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-shortcode-id/#post-6658687) * Where did you paste the code? * Thread Starter [jhasenklein](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jhasenklein/) * (@jhasenklein) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-shortcode-id/#post-6658702) * Hi Takayuki Miyoshi, * It appears that regardless of what contact form I use (I also tried Best Web Soft and Contact Form Builder) I run into some problem. Those other ones I can’t submit the form. * I switched the twenty fifteen theme and still ran into the same problem with Contact Form 7 not generating a shortcode and the other plugins not submitting. * I can’t seem to figure it out because it doesn’t seem like a problem with the plugins or the theme. * Thoughts anyone? * Thread Starter [jhasenklein](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jhasenklein/) * (@jhasenklein) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-shortcode-id/#post-6658703) * Hi Davmerit, * I pasted the code into the page builder at [milkenknights.com/contact](http://milkenknights.com/contact). There’s a different plugin there now though. * [davmerit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davmerit/) * (@davmerit) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-shortcode-id/#post-6658717) * > I pasted the code into the page builder at [milkenknights.com/contact](http://milkenknights.com/contact). * ​​The error could be from the page builder. But I can see your form is now showing at the link provided * Thread Starter [jhasenklein](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jhasenklein/) * (@jhasenklein) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-shortcode-id/#post-6658718) * Hi, * Whats up there now is a a Google Form. I created a custom script on the spreadsheet that sends a confirmation email to me and then sender.
