 * On the member page I have a button that is linked to the page ‘ihre-nachricht-
   an’:
 *     ```
       <form method="post" action="http://huppenbroich.de/spd-simmerath/ihre-nachricht-an/">
       	<input type="hidden" name="genosse" value='<?php echo get_the_title();?>'>
       ```
   
 * This code is part of a shortcode.
 * The page ‘ihre-nachricht-an’ has only a shortcode with another form:
 *     ```
       	<h2><?php echo $_POST['genosse']; ?></h2>
       		<div class="entry-content" itemprop="text">
       			<div class="wpforms-container " id="wpforms-8914">
       			    <form id="wpforms-form-8914" class="wpforms-validate wpforms-form" data-formid="8914" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="http://huppenbroich.de/spd-simmerath/versand-ihrer-nachricht/">
       					<div class="wpforms-field-container">
       ```
   
 * The action points to the page ‘versand-ihrer-nachricht’. This links ends up with
   an 404 error. When I use this link as direct input the correct page is displayed.
 * The page below is the starting point of the chain. What error do I make? Who 
   can help me???

 * is this the page with the PHP to process the form data? The action attribute 
   in the form tag is where the form processor goes. It can not link to another 
   page with a form.

 * I detected the error:
 * I used a field with the reserved word ‘name’. That was some hours work.
