 * Does anyone know why add_action(‘init’) would give a 404 error page when submitting
   a form. I created a shortcode snippet that has a form. When I go to submit the
   form, the data is processed but the page shown is a ‘page not found’ page. In
   my action attribute I have tried PHP_SELF and absolutes.
 * How can I process the data and have it go to a real page or thank you page etc.?
   Is the action ‘init’ the correct one to use? Is there some kind of routing issue?
