I use the shortcode enabler to be able to make responsive columns in the form. I use a small plugin for those columns and that plugin uses shortcodes. Maybe it depends on what kind of shortcode? What is your shortcode for?

I want to use different shortcodes, in this case an example:
function my_shortcode_func() {
return 'My shortcode works!';
}
add_shortcode( 'my_shortcode', 'my_shortcode_func' );

I use the shortcodes in the form itself, not in the output. Could that be the reason?

Perhaps the reason for this.
But the form itself does not work: http://prntscr.com/cq3ujn
What do you mean that the form does not work? Not at all?

I use shortcodes in the form itself like this example.
<div>
[bscolumns class=”one_fifth”][/bscolumns][bscolumns class=”one_fifth”][/bscolumns][bscolumns class=”one_fifth”][/bscolumns][bscolumns class=”one_fifth”][/bscolumns][bscolumns class=”one_fifth_last”][/bscolumns][bscolumns class=”clear”][/bscolumns]
</div>
These shortcodes are for responsive columns, so on the frontend people will see 5 columns next to each other and they can enter their text. But in the e-mail itself I do not use these columns, I send the data in a table.
From what I read you can use any shortcode in the form (with help of the plugin), but I did not yet try another shortcode from another plugin.

I mean, that using this plugin: “Contact Form 7 Shortcode Enabler”, I do not work shortcodes in the body of the message and also in the form itself: http://prntscr.com/cq3ujn
Do you work shortcodes in this plugin as you put them?
P.S. Sorry for my English, I use Google translator

I am sorry that I cannot help you, I do not have enough information to see why the plugin Shortcode Enabler does not work for you. I downloaded that plugin because at first the plugin for the columns did not work in the form, and after installing the Shortcode Enabler it was perfect.
