 * Hi
    I had two error notices related to cf7 in my dashboard this morning. One 
   was to do with time limit, which my host helped me to fix. Bit this one still
   alerts me. My hosts says I’m not actually using this function so it seems to 
   be giving a false positive: Notice: wpcf7_add_shortcode is deprecated since Contact
   Form 7 version 4.6! Use wpcf7_add_form_tag instead. in /home/mallor15/public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/functions.php on line 365 Any advice
   appreciated Thanks

 * Hi Takayuki
    The theme is Javo Directory V2. The author did an update a couple
   of years ago but the update was effectively a new theme. He advsed V2 users to
   stay on this theme and promised to keep it supported but of course he hasnt and
   he refuses to provide support so I’m on my own regards the theme. I am not a 
   developer and due to the theme’s author refusing to support me, I am largely 
   reliant on plugins because I cant afford a developer. Consequently I have quite
   a long list of plugins. Rather than me listing them all for you here are there
   any specific ones you are thinking of or would it help if I listed them all here?
 * Kind regards

   plugins and themes.

   right corner.
