 * Hi!
    Right after the activation of your (very beautiful) plugin I see this error
   message: “wpcf7_add_shortcode is deprecated since Contact Form 7 version 4.6!
   Use wpcf7_add_form_tag instead.”
 * I’m using Contact Form 7 Version 5.0.4
    Maybe changing some lines in your code
   will do the trick.
 * Thanks for your help
    Patrick
