Hi @huntingerik,
you can try to install a form builder like contact form 7, and then when they gave their email it will send an email of URL to the page where they can get the PDF.

Also you can use this plugin : https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/email-before-download/

So in order to download seperate files, they will need to give their email once.
And when they return to the website to download more files they shouldn’t have to give their email again since they did that the first time,
so there should be some for of recognition if the email has been given or not.

I think it need a little touch code to doing this

Cool @portia79 , I hope you change the status to resolved, so other know how to solve it.

I just re-read your code again. and there’s something problem here, the post type of slug same as the taxonomy slug.

in register post type, you rewrite the slug to 'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'news'),, try to change the slug (rewrite) of the taxonomy to news-test.

then don’t forget to refresh it, here the link:

Hi @robertgorter,
I suggest to create a topic here https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/updraftplus/

it may the fault one of the plugin. we may need more information like the error notification.

you can see how to display the error here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/#example-wp-config-php-for-debugging

hi @mcmotorhead
you can ask about Hestia theme here : https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/hestia/
and yes it’s possible.

Hi @portia79 , you forgot to add public in news_taxonomy(), add the public into $args, it should look like this

  $args = array(
    'hierarchical'      => true,     // like categories or tags
    'labels'            => $labels,
    'public'            => true,
    'show_in_rest'      => true,
    'show_ui'           => true,     //  add the default UI to this taxonomy
    'show_admin_column'=> true,    // add the taxonomies to the wordpress admin
    'query_var'         => true,
    'rewrite'           => array( 'slug' => 'news'),
  );

let me know if you still have this issue.

Hi @portia79,

in custom taxonomy code, you forgot to add public in the $args, so your code look like this

function news_taxonomy() {
$labels = array(
'name'              => _x( 'News Category', 'Taxonomy General Name' ),
    'singular_name'     => _x( 'News Category', 'Taxonomy Singular Name' ),
    'search_items'      => __( 'Search News Category' ),
    'all_items'         => __( 'All News Categories' ),
    'parent_item'       => __( 'Parent News Category' ),
    'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent News Category:' ),
    'edit_item'         => __( 'Edit News Category' ),
    'update_item'       => __( 'Update News Category' ),
    'add_new_item'      => __( 'Add News Category' ),
    'new_item_name'     => __( 'New News Category' ),
    'menu_name'         => __( 'News Category' ),
  );

  $args = array(
    'hierarchical'      => true,     // like categories or tags
    'labels'            => $labels,
    'public             => true,
    'show_in_rest'      => true,
    'show_ui'           => true,     //  add the default UI to this taxonomy
    'show_admin_column'=> true,    // add the taxonomies to the wordpress admin
    'query_var'         => true,
    'rewrite'           => array( 'slug' => 'news'),
  );

  register_taxonomy( 'news_tax', 'news', $args );
}
