Hmm. Are you sure you set it to ‘both’? I don’t see any link appearing on the page and the response from your server makes it look like it’s still set to ’email’.
By the way, when you are set to ’email’ or ‘both’, EBD will send out 2 emails. One email is the one that is supposed to go to the email address the website visitor put into the form (that is the one that would have the link to click on to download the file, or would have the file attached). The other email is the “notification email” that (typically) goes to the wordpress admin.
When you created your CF7 form, there is a “Mail” tab that has some settings on it. Those settings configure the “notification email”. Normally, the “To:” will be set to the same email address as your wordpress admin has. That notification email looks very similar to the email that is sent to the website visitor, but it has no link to click on. It’s just to tell you (the wp admin) that someone has submitted the form to download something. Note that the notification email almost always gets delivered properly (since it is usually going to the admin and people normally have that email address working and everything so it normally gets through).
The email that goes to the website visitor doesn’t really have any configuration settings. It’s just a wp_mail call made by EBD with the To: address being whatever the website visitor typed into the form on your page. Note that it is pretty common for this email to not get delivered properly. That happens a lot on sites that are on shared hosting. The email will put like the real operating system level account name into the From: of the email (it will be something weird like [email protected] or whatever). That will cause the email to look like spam to many email hosting providers (like gmail or yahoo mail). Thus, in order to get that email through, you usually need to use another plugin to fix the From:.
Many people on here end up using the Postman SMTP plugin by Jason Hendiks, which works well and gives you like good logging and such. Alternatively, some folks use the plugin called Custom Sender For Email Before Download which lets you set just that From: field (note that the setting may get wiped out anytime you resave your EBD settings – requiring you to put it back in there).
Anyway, I don’t know if you are encountering either of those issues. Your description of making the email go to you so you could see when people downloaded stuff doesn’t quite make sense to me (since there is already a notification email that does that). I think you are actually talking about the notification email (which should go to you and which you configure in the Mail tab of CF7). What is probably confusing you is that you may think that is the email that is supposed to go to the website visitor because the email that actually does go to the website visitor isn’t getting delivered because of the problem I described above.
