Store file uploads for Contact Form 7

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

37 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 6 listed. 31 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

   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' );
