Created a contact me widget; however, it appears as a code on the website

    Dear Sir/ Madam,

    I have recently registered nahalhasty.com on WordPress, and I am in the process of setting up my website. In the contact me page, I have created a “contact me form;”however, when I preview the page prior to updating the change, the contact form appears correctly. However, when I actually update the page and go back to look at it, the following code appears instead.

    [contact-form to='(email visible only to moderators and staff)' subject='NAHAL HASTY ENQ'][contact-field label='Your Name' type='name' required='1'/][contact-field label='Your E-mail' type='email' required='1'/][contact-field label='Enquiry' type='textarea' required='1'/][/contact-form]

    Please help resolve this query.

    Kind regards,
    Shervin

    Hi Shervin,

    Your contact form shortcode needed to be placed in the Text tab, rather than the visual tab. I made the change for you. Please take a look at your page:

    http://nahalhasty.com/contact-us/

    And also, open the page in the editor to see the code, which is now placed under your Text tab:

    https://nahalhasty.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=13&action=edit

    I hope this helps! Take care.
