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:

[sh_contact_form show_message_box=“true”]

I cannot find sh_contact_form anywhere to make the changes to the form that I need.

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.

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?

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Just a quick guess (as I don’t know the details of your WP environment):

Ist it possible, that there is a plugin in use. Something like “Contact Form 7”?
Contact Form 7 – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org

Then go to the admin dashboard and have a look at the left sidebar. There you should find something like “Contact”.
There is the panel to customize your settings.

Maybe you will have to check for some WP caching, that might be hidden under “Tools” or “Settings”.

That should do the trick. You will rarely have to fiddle around with PHP pages in Wordpress.
