 * Since I’ve activated the plugin I have this PHP-notice:
 * Notice: WPCF7_Shortcode is deprecated since Contact Form 7 version 4.6! Use WPCF7_FormTag
   instead. in somewhere/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/functions.php
   on line 355
 * I’ve googled this error and found some similar issues. In the most cases there
   was an error in the plugin. Maybe you have any idea or can fix this error/notice?
 * There is already an support-question to this topic:
    [Link](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deprecated-shortcode/)
 * The site is working, it’s just an notice.
 * Thanks and Regards
