I have a WordPress site that I am responsible for, but have zero WordPress knowledge. So far WordPress has been easy enough to work with that this has not been a problem. However I have a page with the following embedded in it:<\/p>\n
[sh_contact_form show_message_box=“true”]<\/p>\n
I cannot find sh_contact_form anywhere to make the changes to the form that I need.<\/p>\n
That is not entirely true - I found a PHP file that has the code I need to change - I made my changes and saved the form and - no change on the website. Cleared the cache on my browser (website is not currently using cache) and tried a different browser - no luck - the code change is not showing on the live site.<\/p>\n
My question is - how do I find sh_contact_form so I can make the edits that I need or am I just missing something I need to ‘update’ to make the changes live?<\/p>\n
Thank you in advance for any assistance.<\/p>","upvoteCount":4,"answerCount":3,"datePublished":"2023-10-17T17:52:00.000Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"santaclaus","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/santaclaus"},"suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","text":"

Just a quick guess (as I don’t know the details of your WP environment):<\/p>\n
Ist it possible, that there is a plugin in use. Something like “Contact Form 7”? Then go to the admin dashboard and have a look at the left sidebar. There you should find something like “Contact”.
\nContact Form 7 – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org<\/a><\/p>\n
\nThere is the panel to customize your settings.
