• The short codes work in pages, but not anywhere else. Using them in a text widget just shows the text [contact-form-7 id=”124″ title=”Sidebar”], the same as calling do_shortcode(‘[contact-form-7 id=”124″ title=”Sidebar”]’); Shortcode manager also does not recognize the shortcode.

  • Step by step approach to problem solving

    1. Switch temporarily to a WordPress default theme (Twenty Eleven etc.) and see if the problem goes away.

    If it does, you’ve most likely got a problem with your current WordPress theme.

    If switching to default theme doesn’t help it could be one of the plugins you are using that is causing the problem.

    2. Disable all plugins other than Contact Form 7

    If doing that solves the problem, you can then add back each item – one by one, until you find the cause of the problem.

    First of all to clarify. The shortcode works in the main body (page or post) but does not work in a sidebar.

    After removing all the plugins, the behavior continued. Given the complexity of the theme (Spacious) it would be problematic to convert to another theme (not just select, it requires resetting a number of sidebars).

    I did change the theme, unload all plugins except WPXtreme and WPX Shortcodes Manager Light. The shortcode manager still did not recognize the contact-form-7 shortcode.
