Nice plugin but…
by fasterboy·7 years ago
I’ve created a shortcode that shows a number ID of a product,
It’s like: Codice Corso: [acf field=”CodiceID”]
It shows correctly in the form side.
But on the email side shows the shortcode itself..
Show the shortcode in the email, can be a great improvement to the plugin!

Simple and Effective

This plugin does exactly what it says on the tin, no complicated set up.
I can now use shortcodes within my contact forms, and with a bit of extra effort, I can use them in the Email Body using wpcf7_special_mail_tags filter as well 🙂
