What's going wrong
Many site owners who use Contact Form 7 with Shortcode Enabler find that shortcodes from their themes, plugins or custom functions work on ordinary pages but arrive as plain bracket text in the email body. Examples include page titles, quiz scores, vehicle lookup results, file includes and Instagram feeds. Some tried filters from documentation without success. Owners want the message to carry live data, so a fix that renders and tests email shortcodes before delivery would serve sites that send results by email.
