 * Hi i am using contact form 7 in all of my wordpress site and its great. but with
   the latest update i am getting this error.
 *  Notice: wpcf7_remove_shortcode is deprecated since Contact Form 7 version 4.6!
   Use wpcf7_remove_form_tag instead. in /var/www/vhosts/alpenrosegardenscapes.com/
   beta.alpenrosegardenscapes.com/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/functions.
   php on line 351
 * i am using a shortcode in my templates to add the contact for to the front end.
   Did this change somehow

 * `wpcf7_remove_shortcode()` is deprecated since [Contact Form 7 4.6](http://contactform7.com/2016/12/03/contact-form-7-46/).
   You should replace the function call with `wpcf7_remove_form_tag()`.
 * You are seeing the notice because you have set [`WP_DEBUG` to _true_](https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG).
   It is only for development purposes and not recommended for live sites.
