 * I just updated CF7, after installing the Conditional Fields and Multi-Step Forms
   add-ons, and got this:
 * Notice: wpcf7_add_shortcode is deprecated since Contact Form 7 version 4.6! Use
   wpcf7_add_form_tag instead. in /usr/home/gratzergraphics/public_html/clients/
   ggllc/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/functions.php on line 351

 * If I deactivate the add-ons, the error message goes away.

 * You get this warning because you are in debug mode of because you have set your
   PHP warnings to strict. Anyway, the issue will be fixed in version 0.2.5. Will
   release it soon
