 * Hi!
 * Seems the shortcode isn’t being recognized. It just shows up as text in the form,
   and doesn’t pass the value to the form.
 * This is the code I’m using:
 * `[dynamictext titleofpost "CF7_get_post_var key='title'"]`
 * and then in the body of the email to be sent:
 * `[titleofpost]`
 * Any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks!
 * – Alan

 * Try using “CF7_get_post_var key=’slug”
