contact form 7 showing code on web page

  • Just installed Contact form 7 bc i just wanted a simple contact form. On step 1 it says copy the code and paste it in. I did paste it on the contact template I’ve created but only the code shows on the web page… doesn’t convert to the contact form.
    I’ve read the forums and several had same problem but answers that were not resolved are several years old. Any idea what I’m doing wrong.

    I’m using a blank theme template created in a web design class on WP platform.

    or if there’s another better contact form plug in? any suggestions?
    thanks.

    You need to place that code on the page using the TEXT editor, not the visual editor.

    yes… that’s where it is… in the text editor.
    It’s on the Contact Page like this:

    Grace Center Houston is only 8 minutes away from Space Center Houston. We meet in the conference room of the Hilton Garden Inn on Texas Avenue off Bay Area Boulevard just 3 blocks east of Interstate 45.
[contact-form-7 id="1234" title="Contact form 1"]
 

    and on the Contact Template, i have this code:

    <?php
/*
Template Name: Contact
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
	<h2>Contact Us</h2>
Grace Center Houston is only 8 minutes away from Space Center Houston. We meet in the conference room of the Hilton Garden Inn on Texas Avenue off Bay Area Boulevard just 3 blocks east of Interstate 45.
<br />
[contact-form-7 id="1234" title="Contact form 1"]
<aside id="siderightnarrow">
<br />
<p>Hilton Garden Inn <br />
700 W. Texas Avenue <br />
Webster, TX 77510 </p>
<br />
</aside>
<!--END of info-->
<?php get_footer(); ?>

    Perhaps one is conflicting with the other? The paragraph on the Page isn’t showing.

    Should be working. Try a new basic contact form to see if that works and then build from there. I presume the plugin is active.

    ok.. then. I guess I’ll just pick another one. Let me know if you’re familiar with a different simple contact form that works.
    Thanks for your input.

    I have used Fast Secure Contact Form, it works well.
