I too am having this issue. I upgraded to WP 3.4.2 and Contact Form 7 3.3 (which claims to be 100% compatible with 3.4.2).
However, the upgrade broke my Comment form and displayed an error: [contact-form-7 404 “Not Found”]
I found the following article, and it appeared I wasn’t using the correct short code, because I wasn’t including the id. (Maybe that changed in this version?)
https://contactform7.com/faq/#My_contact_form_doesnt_appear_instead_404_not_found_appears
Anyways, I pasted in the correct short code — now [contact-form-7 id=”12613″ title=”Contact form 1″] instead of [contact-form-7 title=”Contact form 1″] — but now the plugin didn’t display, and the error message disappeared.
Here’s several screenshots:
