Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Protected PDF Downloads – Download Form, Lead Capture & Expiring Links

To your inbox. Under Catalogs → Download form → Email you choose who gets each request (one address or several), the sender, the subject and the message, as in WPForms; replying to it writes to the visitor. This plugin does not store the answers in your database. Catalog Rocket Pro keeps them in a list you can search and export.

In this plugin the form is on or off for the whole site. Catalog Rocket Pro lets you choose for each catalog: a form, an optional form, the file sent by email, or no form at all.

Yes. The download request does not depend on a token printed in the page, so cached pages keep working. Bots are stopped by a hidden trap field, a limit of 10 requests every 10 minutes per visitor and, if you add your keys, Cloudflare Turnstile.

Only the link duration. On sites that already had catalogs, the form starts switched off and downloads work as before, through links that now always last 30 minutes. Turn the form on under Catalogs → Download form when you are ready.

No. Add as many catalogs as you like.

Yes, both the link and the file. Every download is handed out as an HMAC-signed link that stops working after 30 minutes, so a link that gets forwarded or posted somewhere is dead by the time anyone else opens it. Every PDF you add is stored in a private folder with an unguessable name, so the only way in is through a valid link. A PDF you add with Choose a PDF, or drop on the page, never has a public URL. A PDF you pick from the Media Library is copied into the private folder, and the original stays in the Media Library with its normal URL; the catalog row marks it as a Public copy, with a button to remove it.

Yes. Use the shortcode, or add data-catr-catalog="ID" to any button or link from your theme or page builder.

The shortcode outputs a plain button that inherits your active theme's button styling, so it matches the rest of your site. Add your own CSS class with the class attribute if you want.
