 * I am having issues with Contact Form 7 working. When I insert the shortcode, 
   it doesn’t parse the contact form, just the shortcode. I have all plugins turned
   off as well and have tried setting it to the default theme to no avail. Still
   not working. Any suggestions?

 * Have you activated Contact Form 7?

 * Yes, I did. I tried a few other plugins, to see if the issue was persistent, 
   and had the same issue. Took a break and came home and now it is working. Honestly
   don’t have a clue why it wasn’t working. Also tested turning on the other 2 plugins
   I had enabled (Akismet & Contact Form to DB Extension) and still working fine.
   Wish I could replicate it to see what was happening, but, no dice.
 * Thank you for the response though.

 * I equally – and all of a sudden have in the last week have had a site where Contact
   Form 7 is not engaging. It had been working. It seems to me that it worked until
   the latest WP v3.3.2 I have checked the code and nothing seem wrong from a user
   point of view.
