Contact form for Wordpress

Contact form for Wordpress is a plugin for Wordpress to display and process a contact form at a desired location using a shortcode. Please node that this plugin is no longer supported since I don't work with Wordpress anymore.

The shortcode to set at a desired location: tc_contact_form

Shortcode for contact form.

This shortcode is exchanged with the contact form in the frontend output:

Contact form fontend.

The backend offers the following options:

Backend of the contact form.

Captcha
Google's Recaptcha is also implemented and can be activated optionally to prevent spam.

Workarounds
Some workarounds were necessary. The plugin uses the Wordpress function wp_mail to send the emails. Unfortunately, this function doesn't send attachments as long as these are not located within the WordPress upload directory. This requires the following workaround: Attachments must be moved from upload_tmp_dir to a newly created directory (contact-form) in /wp-content/uploads/ before wp_mail is called. Unfortunately, this can lead to conflicts with other plugins that want to redirect uploaded files to another upload directory. Since wp_mail ignores the specification of the Return-Path in the email header, another workaround was due. Furthermore, mime check for uploaded files will be disabled to allow every mime type as attachment.
