TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for Contact Form 7 users who want to offer downloadable files as an incentive for form submissions. It solves the problem of gating file access so the download is only shown after a form is successfully submitted, without requiring repeat visitors to resubmit the form.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Contact Form 7 Gated Content

Anything that can be uploaded to the WordPress media library.

Yes! You can customize the output of the download box with CSS, or you can add this snippet to your theme\'s functions.php file: function my_content_button($url, $button_text, $button_classes, $content) { return "$button_text"; } add_filter('wpcf7_gated_content_button', 'my_content_button', 10, 3);

Yes! The default CSS can be disabled on a per-form basis.

No! Gating content does not secure it from outside access. While it does restrict visibility of a download link to those who have completed your form, it does nothing to make the file private. Anyone with the attachment link or a properly formatted cookie will be able to access your file.
