# Shortcode Not Working?

 * Hi there. I updated to the latest version of the plugin. My old shortcode wasn’t
   fully working, so I checked the settings and saw that the shortcode format has
   changed.
 * I used the new shortcode as directed by the plugin, but when I use this it just
   displays the shortcode as I typed it… it doesn’t display my form as expected.
 * I went back to a legacy version (the first prior to 1.0) and was able to get 
   it to work again with no trouble. This seems to be a problem unique to the new
   versions… Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Margarine,
 * Sorry about that, the instructions on the preset page had got out of sync with
   the code, I’ve updated the code so that the new format shortcode should be working.
 * If you update to the latest version that should be working now.
 * Thanks,
    Don
