   I am trying to create a contact form for my site. The form would start with some basic information, like the person's name, email and phone. Then there would be a title/header (or the legend tag from html) that says "Please select the days you can come in for a consultation:" and the user would select the days of the week that apply.

   I can obviously add checkbox fields for the user to select, but I don't see how to add the title for that section. If I try to just type in a title it doesn't display. I don't see any contactform shortcodes in the documentation that would apply.

   Is there an option I can use for this?

   Hello royanger,

   Let's try this,

   Open up /wp-content/themes/[your_theme]/lib/shortcodes/16-contact.php and on lines 111 - 115 you should see this,

   if( $matches[1][$i] == 'checkbox' ) {
   	$out .= '<input type="checkbox" name="' . $field_id . '" id="' . $field_id . '" class="styled' . $required_error . ( $required ? ' required' : '' ) . '"' .
   	( isset( $_POST[$field_id] ) ? ' checked="checked"' : '' ) . ' value="1" />';
   	$form_inputs['fields'][$field_id] = array( 'type' => $matches[1][$i], 'label' => $label, 'required' => $required );
   }

   On the next line add this,

   if( $matches[1][$i] == 'text' ) {
   	$out .= $matches[2][$i]['content'];
   }

   Now you can add HTML inside your shortcode like so,

   [contactform email = "you@company.com"]
   [name label="Name"]
   [email label="Email"]
   [text content = "<h4>Here is a title</h4>"]
   [textarea label="Message"]
   [/contactform]
