 * Hi. I’m having trouble changing the default confirmation message to [contact 
   auto_reply_message=”Thank you for taking the time to contact us. We will be in
   touch shortly.”].
 * Where do I put this code in the page I created to get it to work, and am I using
   the correct code?
 * Thank you.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshortcode-attributes-5%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * There are 2 messages you can change using an attribute:
    1) message after submitting
   the form (the “thank you” message) 2) message in confirmation mail to sender
 * Guess you want to change the first one, so full shortcode should be:
 *     ```
       [contact message_success="your message here"]
       ```

 * Thanks. This works. I was using the wrong shortcode.
