# Plugin does not work with custom theme

 * I installed and activated the plugin with succes.
 * When enabling the default contact-form within a new page, it works OK when using
   the default theme Twenty Fourteen
 * But our company website is using a custom theme, which I have to alter somehow.
   When running the same contact-form in the same page, I only see the text
    [contact-
   form-7 id=”1292″ title=”Contactformulier 1″]
 * So there is no automatic translation from these tags/elements to the the actual
   contact form fields.
    It has to do something that an automatic (search) plugin
   filter is not available or so in out custom theme.
 * Can somebody help me in activating the correct tag translation or that the “wp-
   contact-form-7” php will be executed ?
