 * You need add the short code in editor where ever you want the Contact Us Form
   No need to add in template.

 * Patel’s probably right, but if you really do want to add it to a template, I 
   suspect that your error is not escaping your double quotes.
 * So, when php parses that code, it thinks that end of what you’re passing to the
   function is the beginning of the id attribute. Try this:
    `<?php echo do_shortcode('[
   contact-form-7 id="188" title="Main Contact Form"]'); ?>`

 * i’m trying to add a jetpack no credit check financing form in my home.php file.
   i used the id for the page i created the form on and it’s defaulting to standard
   contact form.
    ideally i want the form fields to be horizontal under the home
   page slider.
 * <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[contact-form id="226" title="No Credit Check Financing"]‘);?
