# [Plugin: Contact Form 7] Use without shortcode

 * I am wondering if it possible to use the form without the shortcode. I want to
   put a contact form in the footer.php file so it shows on the footer of my site
   but if I put the shortcode in that file, it obviously won’t work.
 * Is there a way around this at all? I tried making a contact form, placing it 
   on a page and taking the code but that didn’t work for me.
 * You can see what I’m trying to do by going here: [http://www.ccapa.org/draft](http://www.ccapa.org/draft).
   It is at the bottom of the page.

 * I hope [@takayuki](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takayuki/)’s answer helped
   you. The simple method is
    `<?php echo do_shortcode( '[contact-form-7 id="1234"
   title="Contact form 1"]' ); ?>` <?php echo do_shortcode- is short code function,
   and [contact-form-7 id=”1234″ title=”Contact form 1″] is the name of your contact
   form.
