Plugin with short code timing out

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi: A form plugin from 123ContactForm is timing out on a site with the Newspaper theme. On another site:
http://lagoonpondassoc.org/new-membership/ it works just fine but on the news paper site I receive the message:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home1/lagoon/public_html/newspaper/wp-content/plugins/123contactform-for-wordpress/123contactform-wp-plugin.php on line 34
and this is on a page without the short code although the plugin is being loaded. The timeout occurs at different lines on each test. I cannot extend the maximum time nor would I want a page to take more than 30 sec to assemble. Have you any ideas as to why this is a problem with the Newspaper theme and what I might do to get the form to to publish.
NOTE: Right now the plugin is deactivated but I can activate it if you want to look at the site:

Hello lpa_admin,

Unfortunately, this kind of plugin has not been tested on our theme and I have no idea what is the theme behaviour with this plugin. Please try to use the plugins wich are tested with our theme, like this: http://screencast.com/t/8VLxk4ArrgJ because we cannot provide support for untested plugins, sorry. In our list of tested plugins, you will find Contact Forum 7 and it is tested and you should use it without the problem. If you do not want to use it, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer which implement this thing for you in our theme, because we cannot provide custom work for the moment.

Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!

Thank you for your understanding!

Hi Catlin:
Thank you for the reply. It is a pity not to use the existing forms from 123VContactForms but I understand your problem. I try the Contact Form 7 and see what needs to be done to replicate out present forms.
