Body: <p>I've been directed here to ask this question, I've been asked if WordPress contact forms/forms can post to a REST URL rather than to the WordPress database. Now I'm not really familiar with CiviCRM tbh but we were wondering if there were any plugins that could achieve this? Any advice please.</p>

  You can use Contact Form 7 and the [Contact Form 7 CiviCRM](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7-civicrm-integration/) plugins for wordpress to `POST` your forms directly to CiviCRM's REST API. There is a [blog post by Erik Hommel](https://civicrm.org/blog/erikhommel/send-wordpress-contact-form-7-data-to-civicrm-with-api) on CiviCRM.org that explains how this works.
