 * Hi,
 * Following the recent update of Contact Form 7 (and WP update) to its latest version,
   I have encountered an issue where the shortcode IDs are displaying as HEX strings
   instead of the corresponding numerical values. Here is an example of the shortcode:
 * `[contact-form-7 id="92aeb41" title="some title"]`
 * Interestingly, on the front end, the form IDs appear in regular numerical format.
   
   Could someone provide insights into what might be causing this discrepancy and
   any recommended steps to address it?
 * Thanks

 * Hi there, I have the latest version of this plugin but the form displays the 
   shortcode on the Single and Home templates only. Front-page template and page
   templates have no issues. This has been since the security updates on WP that
   stopped the shortcode generation. Is there a workaround for these templates? 
   I insert as the CF7 block like normal.
 * Thanks!
