There are times when using the Contact Form 7 WordPress plugin where you need to pass a parameter
\nfrom the URL and into a hidden field or display it in the form. This plugin is great for passing things
\nsuch as order numbers, selected packages, or even security information.

\n","installation":"

Go to the “Plugins” section of your WordPress admin panel
Click “Add New” at the top
Click “Upload” at the top
Upload the included zip file
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
For getting a parameter as a hidden text field, use [getparam value]
For getting a parameter to display as text, use [showparam value]

The above examples assume a URL such as http://mywebsite.com/contact?value=hello.
\nIf you are using a different parameter such as order=hello, use [getparam order]

\n","faq":"\n

How do I add a Hidden Field?

When editing a form in Contact Form 7, enter the getparam shortcode. There is only one valid parameter
\nwhich is the name of the $_GET value.

[getparam value]

For example, if the URL is http://mysite.com/contact?ordernum=12345, the shortcode will be:

[getparam ordernum]

Then when building the response email, you can pass the value with [ordernum]

How do I show a $_GET value on the form?

When editing a form in Contact Form 7, enter the showparam shortcode. There is only one valid parameter
\nwhich is the name of the $_GET value.

[showparam value]

For example, if the URL is http://mysite.com/contact?ordernum=12345, the shortcode will be:

[showparam ordernum]

You cannot pass a value to the response email using this method, to do that, you will also have to add a hidden field.
