    1. When using the following, where godzilla is first name and monster is last name;
    [fep_shortcode_new_message_form to=”godzilla monster” subject=”test”]

    the form DOES NOT show.

    2. When using the following where godzilla is first name;
    [fep_shortcode_new_message_form to=”godzilla” subject=”test”]

    the form shows as expected.

    3. When using the following variable, where $first_name = ‘godzilla’;
    [fep_shortcode_new_message_form to=”$first_name” subject=”test”]

    the form DOES NOT show.

    I have tried a variable with various syntax with Zero succcess.

    The only success I have had is #2 above.

    The form shows as expected when using default pre populate.

    What I need is to be able to use a variable for the to=$variable.

    What am i doing wrong?

    Please see https://www.shamimsplugins.com/docs/front-end-pm/shortcode/fep_shortcode_new_message_form/ for details of this shortcode. “To” argument support user_nicename (Not first name/last name etc).

    Where are you adding this shortcode? In php template or in post editor? post editor can not process php code. To pass variable you have to add this in php template or anywhere where php code can be parsed. If you add in php template let me know full code of this shortcode so that i can correct for you if you have any error.

    Thank you! That syntax worked! However the form will no longer populate in my lightbox.

    Any ideas?

    Have A Great Day!

    I do not see any lightbox code here. Check your syntax with lightbox code.

    Thank you!
