# custom field value as shortcode?

 * I need to make a custom field to display something outside of the_content (but
   still inside the loop), however this thing I need to display is the form generated
   by the contact form 7 plugin, which requires the insertion of its short code 
   into the post area.
 * I thought I could simply put that short code in my custom field’s value area 
   and be done with it. However it doesn’t look like custom field values allow short
   code, since all that showed up on the page was the short code itself, not it’s
   generated contact form.
 * Is there any way to use short code in a custom field value? Thanks!
 * **I posted this in hacks, but didn’t get any replies. I hope someone here can
   help answer this.
