 * Hi I am trying to use contact form 7 within another shortcode and when I do, 
   the form doesn’t load I just get the short code I pasted in the backend;
 * Backend;
 * [whiteSpaceHalfLeft]
    <h1>Contact us</h1>
 * [contact-form-7 id=”529″ title=”Contact us”]
 * [/whiteSpaceHalfLeft]
 * Front;
 * Contact us
    [contact-form-7 id=”529″ title=”Contact us”]
 * Can anyone help?

 * It could be that the plugin that operates `[whiteSpaceHalfLeft]` does not handle
   shortcodes properly.
    ​ However if the shortcode does what it states as “whiteSpace”,
   then I would suggest you use CSS to create that space and prevent using CF7 shortcode
   in another shortcode.​
