Thanks of the info regarding your extensions. If you have an extension that will enable us to send an email with the file link downloaded with a fully custom email template that allows shortcodes within it, then I’d definitely be interested. We don’t need the file “locked” per se; we need an email to be sent with the file link.

The emails we send out have a list of additional downloads they may find interest in so we wouldn’t want them locked down requiring an email for each one.

The Email Before Download plugin does just what we need (except for allowing shortcodes in an email template) however having three plugins working in tandem; Download Monitor, Email Before Download, and Contact Form 7, anytime a major change happens to one of them there’s often a ripple effect.

Generally I wait to let things settle down before updating to make sure bugs are figured out but at some point I do have to update.

Thanks again for your help with this. We’re working with the EBD plugin developer for a fix.

Thanks for the update. I’m now getting a “Invalid UID Please fill out a new form to generate a new link.” when trying to go directly to a DM link without it having the UID parameter on the end which is present in the email.

You’ll see the error if you use the link I submitted in my original post: https://www.pureblockchainwealth.com/download/824

This link works: https://www.pureblockchainwealth.com/download/824/?uid=8cb370d63b

I’ve noticed this as well, the ?uid parameter on the links still allow the download to work, but any links I have hard coded in my emails as additional download options do not work.

Hopefully this will be fixed soon. My client is not very happy links aren’t working as requiring emails before they download reports and tracking the downloads are the main functionality for their three sites. It also makes me cautious updating to newer versions in the future.

What’s even more bizarre is we use a plugin called “Email Before Download” which will send out an email with a link. When I run a test on any of the special reports (https://www.pureblockchainwealth.com/top-tier-reports), an email is successfully sent with the link which does work.

This doesn’t: https://www.pureblockchainwealth.com/download/815

Thanks, sent

Yes, the homepage is showing the issue. The content should be full-width, there should be no sidebar.

This is how the page should look: https://rv.620studio.com

I deactivated the plugin so the site isn’t broken. I can enable it so you can see what it looks like.

I see updates are happening which is great to see. I keep looking to see if the file_name being in lowercase had been fixed yet, both for the Email name (in the email header) and also the filename itself. The email link to download looks pretty unprofessional with everything being lowercase.

I verified the title is correct in Download Monitor.

Thanks for your hard work!

Thanks for updating the plugin and adding the functionality, however….

I just tested and it looks like it’s removing the special characters, making the company name lowercase and removing the spaces. The final From looks like this
