 * Hi all,
 * I really need some help over here.
    I’m including multiple contact forms on [my website](http://sandbox.jwonline.eu/contact/).
   As you can see the form in the content is working, but the forms in the sidebar
   and footer aren’t.
 * `wp_footer();` and `wp_header();`are both included and all javascript files are
   loaded correctly.
 * I’ve tried figuring out why it isn’t working. I’ll tried everything using this
   [Google query](https://www.google.com/search?q=contact+form+7+do+shortcode+not+working&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&gws_rd=ssl).
   Adding code to functions.php, including via text widget in the sidebar, including
   directly in the theme by using do_shortcode.
 * But still my forms aren’t working. When I’ll hit the send button _nothing_ happens
   and I really can’t figure out why.
 * Please need some help!
    Thanks!
