Title: CF7 shortcode not displaying Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # CF7 shortcode not displaying * [mengsel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mengsel/) * (@mengsel) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cf7-shortcode-not-displaying/) * Hi I just downloaded, installed, activated and configured your plugin. I’m using it with WP-reCAPTCHA to include in CF7 forms, all versions latest. * At the moment, when I select ‘reCAPTCHA’ in the drop-down menu to get a shortcode for the form, nothing comes out. In fact, all the box says is a big title “reCAPTCHA” with no shortcode box (that should’ve looked like [recaptcha recaptcha-54] or something similar, like every other element you can get in CF7). * Any help or advice on this would be very welcome. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7-recaptcha-extension/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7-recaptcha-extension/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 20 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cf7-shortcode-not-displaying/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cf7-shortcode-not-displaying/page/2/?output_format=md) * [hebus trollus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hebus-trollus/) * (@hebus-trollus) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cf7-shortcode-not-displaying/#post-5105620) * Hello, * i’m facing the same issue, and it’s working fine before my upgrade to WP3.9.1!!! CF 3.9 Contact Form 7 reCAPTCHA extension 0.1.0 WP-reCAPTCHA 3.2 * Very strange. * Thks for your help 😉 * [jrothra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jrothra/) * (@jrothra) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cf7-shortcode-not-displaying/#post-5105648) * Same problem here, same versions of all those plugins and WP. * Thread Starter [mengsel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mengsel/) * (@mengsel) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cf7-shortcode-not-displaying/#post-5105649) * Any idea on when we can expect a correction/update/bugfix? * [jrothra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jrothra/) * (@jrothra) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cf7-shortcode-not-displaying/#post-5105650) * [@mengsel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mengsel/) – Good question. The sooner the better because “Really Simple CAPTCHA” is just that: really simple… to crack. * Thread Starter [mengsel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mengsel/) * (@mengsel) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cf7-shortcode-not-displaying/#post-5105651) * If any developer is willing to update this plugin, please let us know how we can help. It seems like the original author hasn’t been active for the past 6 months, so I expect little from his side at the moment. * [jberg1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jberg1/) * (@jberg1) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cf7-shortcode-not-displaying/#post-5105690) * I believe I found a fix. I have had the same type of issue with a couple other contact form 7 extensions after the release of CF7 3.9. * Here is what I did: In file `contact-form-7-recaptcha-extension/includes/CF7reCAPTCHA. class.php` On line #773 Change: `function tag_pane( &$contact_form ) {` To: ` function tag_pane( $contact_form ) {` * basically just removed the `&` symbol. This was the same fix implemented on CF7- dynamic-extension * This might be worth adding to the next release of this plugin. * [roman.soerensen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/romansoerensen/) * (@romansoerensen) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cf7-shortcode-not-displaying/#post-5105695) * [@jberg1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jberg1/): Thank you! That did the trick 🙂 * [emidesigns](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emidesigns/) * (@emidesigns) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cf7-shortcode-not-displaying/#post-5105705) * [@jberg1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jberg1/) that did the trick!
