 * Is there a shortcode available I could put into a custom theme we’re running…
   there is no specific form plugin in this theme… although we do have a contact
   page with form…
 * Thanks in advance,

 * I don’t quite understand. If the CFDB plugin is installed, its short codes are
   available.

 * Update,
 * Our theme (Pangaea) came with its own email form.
 * I can’t figure out how to implement your plugin while still using this custom
   form…
 * I see custom functions for this custom form in the functions.php file… but no
   reference anywhere else.
 * Is this impossible to implement your plugin without the structure you describe
   here: [http://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=377](http://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=377)
 * I like your plugin a lot. It is very well done… just wondering if there is a 
   way to work it into a custom form like the one we’re using if the form’s structure
   isn’t the same as your documentation.
 * Thank you,

 * Here is the shortcodes this theme’s developer has in there for this custom form(
   from inside the wp text-editor)
 * Anyway I could add some of your shortcode to collect data… so I can see it all
   without using myphp?
 * [vc_contact_form fields=”name,email,message” message_height=”6″ required=”name,
   email,message” half_width=”name,email” success_message=”Success! Your Message
   has been Sent” error_message=”Error! An Error Occured While Sending your Message”
   button_title=”Send message” style=”alternate” button_size=”large”][/vc_column][/
   vc_row][/vc_section_container][/vc_section][vc_section section_type=”full-width”
   sp_top=”0″ sp_bottom=”0″ bg_color=”#fcfcfc” bg_type=”image” bg_style=”stretch”
   fixed_bg=”yes” enable_parallax=”yes” parallax_speed=”0.8″ height=”content” bg_overlay_opacity
   =”0.4″ bg_overlay_dot=”no” triangle_location=”top”][vc_section_container width
   =”1/1″][vc_gmaps style=”default” address=”209 Kalamath Street” width=”100%” height
   =”400px” zoom=”14″ scrollwheel=”yes” maptype=”roadmap” marker=”yes”][/vc_section_container][/
   vc_section]

 * If you wish to code an integration with this theme and CFDB you would need to
   [see this](http://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=646).
