What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

It works and that’s it

Thanks! I spent a day wondering why the temporary file was not longer there then another day finding out that CF7 is moving that file. So this is exactly what I was trying to figure out. It does look like files could be overwritten if they are uploaded with an existing name. You can probably do something like the following to ensure files get unique names and are not overwritten. // Get the path to the upload directory. $wp_upload_dir = wp_upload_dir(); $upload_path = $wp_upload_dir['path']; $unique_filename = wp_unique_filename($upload_path, basename($filename)); $attachFileName = $upload_path . '/' . $unique_filename; copy($filename, $attachFileName); // Prepare an array of post data for the attachment. $attachment = array( 'guid' => $attachFileName, 'post_mime_type' => $filetype['type'], 'post_title' => preg_replace('/\.[^.]+$/', '', $unique_filename), 'post_content' => '', 'post_status' => 'inherit' );
