 * Not clear to me how I set the default, here’s my understanding but it’s not working:
 * [contact-form-7 id=”114″ title=”Contact Us” #General+Information]
 * How should it be done? The form is located at [http://clermontpetsalive.org/about/contact-us/](http://clermontpetsalive.org/about/contact-us/)
 * Thank you ….. Rick

 * The default is simply the first item in the select box. Hm, I see, you sorted
   them by alphabet – maybe you still put “General Information” first and then “–”
   as second item, so that “General Information” is still easy to spot when something
   else is selected by URL:

 * Oh, wait: CF7 itself could support this:
 * see
    [http://contactform7.com/checkboxes-radio-buttons-and-menus/](http://contactform7.com/checkboxes-radio-buttons-and-menus/)
 * Something along the lines of:
 *     ```
       [select* recipient .... default:4]
       ```
