 * Dear,
 * We have a page with a contact form to apply for an IT training. In total we have
   space for 15 people only. Therefore, we have to count the number of applicants.
   To do so we use the plugins Contact Form 7 and Contact Form DB. Specifically,
   we use the shortcode [**[cfdb-count form=”Training-Form”].**](https://pilzverein-winterthur.ch/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=cfdb-export&form=Kursanmeldung-Kurs1&content=&enc=COUNT)
   The shortcode is embedded in a table of an overview page as follows: …<tr><td
   >Number of applications so far:</td><td>[cfdb-count form=”Training-Form” role
   =”Anyone”]</td></tr>….
 * After submitting the form, the user will be redirected to the overview page. 
   The contact form works well but we noticed that the number of applications is
   not updated on the overview page (page reload does not help). Does anybody have
   an idea how to solve this?
