 * Hello…
 * I have the Form Maker Pro, but I am having problems being able to make the forms
   function at all when trying to using them in any particular php file page.
 * The code that I am using in trying to execute this is the usual <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[
   Form id=”20″]’); ?>, but the forms will not show up. Instead, it only shows the
   text saying [Form id=”20″]. Is there a fix for this? I am truly hoping so.
 * Thank you!

 * Dear katotmottgogo,
 * Please try using the following option instead- <?php wd_form_maker(1); ?> where
   1 should be the id of your form. Thank you.
