 * Hi there,
 * The plugin is throwing this notice at me.
    I’m not confident enough with php 
   to update it myself. Please let me know if anyone manages to do it – it’s very
   helpful!
 * “Notice: wpcf7_add_shortcode is deprecated since Contact Form 7 version 4.6! 
   Use wpcf7_add_form_tag instead. in …plugins/contact-form-7/includes/functions.
   php on line 357

 * I just came across this problem and the changes are quite small – as detailed
   here: [https://contactform7.com/2016/12/03/contact-form-7-46/](https://contactform7.com/2016/12/03/contact-form-7-46/).
   Only a few class and function names need to be changed.
 * Here’s my updated version if it helps: [https://pastebin.com/N9MxaF2e](https://pastebin.com/N9MxaF2e)
