Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Email Before Download

Yes. We store a log of the form submissions and generated links. You can view and export a CSV file of them from the Email Before Download settings page in your admin screens.

You will not be able to use this version of Email Before Download without these dependent plugins. If you have specific reasons to avoid using the dependent plugins, please contact us and let us know the reason so we can take it into consideration.

If you decide to configure the Email Before Download option to send the user an email with a link to the download, then you will want to name the email field "your-email" as shown in the example screenshots. Outside of that, nothing special.

By default, the user is presented with a link or links to download their file(s). There is also an option to email the user (with a link to the file and/or attachment) if you choose that route. You can even provide both the inline link as well as the email if you choose.

WordPress allows direct access to files in your upload directories using a direct URL and we do not change those permissions. We do provide an option to mask the URL to your downloads if you have cURL enabled.

This is the list of all short code attributes that can be used. Some of them override the global admin settings.

contact_form_id - Contact Form 7 ID. Overrides default contact for id from settings if used. title - this attribute overrides the title from Download Monitor. if multiple, put them in a comma separated list in the same order as your download_ids. file - use to point to external url delivered_as - possible values: "Send Email", "Both", "Inline Link" attachment - "yes", "no" Attachments only work if files were uploaded with Download Monitor. force_download - any value that is passed considered as "yes" (we don't have a global menu item for that) only works with a single download_id. checked - Loads form with item checked. If you are using checkboxes and have multiple items, the will all be checked, Accepts "no", any other value is "yes" hide_form - "yes", "no" radio - "yes", "no" from_email - valid email address from_name - any alphanumeric string
