If you'd like to include multiple files, repeat the shortcode with a different file name. You did it! Now you should have a fully functioning form that requires an email to download a file, giving new subscribers access to your gated content.

This doesn't test that the email is valid, I know I've done this before with your help pointing to the correct article, but months later can't find it Hi Craig, Sorry we missed your comment! Here are the instructions to verify an email address. Instead of showing another form, you can show the files instead. Good article. I have been using Forms to collect information for years and have settled on Formidable for the last few years as the only one I use.
Collecting email addresses is a must and really simple to do. I've only just started to use Formidable and the functionality, and supporting documentation has been excellent.
Thank you for this guide. Another similar option that I've used which also works great is to use the "Send Email" action, which allows you to include a file attachment an automated email back to the person filling out the form.
I like this option because you are guaranteed that the email address will be a valid one, or else they won't receive the email! Great suggestion. As long as you have a reliable email system set up so you can be confident emails are going through, this is a great option. This is a nice option. But how do you attach the file that has been uploaded via the "download manager form"?
And if I send a mail with the file, can I do it without showing the view to the user? You can send the uploaded files as an email attachment without a view. Or you can include the View shortcode right in the email. This is a built in feature of our pro version. If you need help with this, please reach out to our support, and we are happy to assist. For multiple white papers: I'd like to not ask the visitor to fill out the form if they have done before, but still I'd like to get a notification when they download additional files.
Hi there, Thanks for your question. It sounds like you're looking for more of a members-only area? Hi I am very interested in the functionality described in this post. However it does not seem to be available in the free version of the plugin. Do I have to upgrade in order to get it? Thanks for a quick reply. Hi there, Yes, the above tutorial does require features only included in the paid versions of the plugin.
You would need to upgrade in order to create this setup using Formidable Forms. Or can the filename be passed via an url parameter and use one form? First, you need to install and activate the WPForms plugin. Upon activation, you need to visit WPForms » Settings page to enter your license key. You can find this information under your account on the WPForms website. First, provide a name for your form and then select a template.
Templates are a starting point, and WPForms comes with several commonly used templates. For instance, you can choose a newsletter sign-up form or a contact form template. After choosing the template, WPForms will launch the form builder interface with a preview of your live form on the right. From here, you can click on any form field to add.
Once you are done editing your form, you need to switch to the marketing tab to connect it to your email service provider. You can skip this step if you are manually managing form leads. WPForms supports all the top email marketing platforms. Simply click on your email service provider and follow the on-screen instructions to connect it.
Once finished, you need to switch to the Settings tab and then click on Confirmation. From here, you can configure what to do when a user submits the form. You can choose to show a message with a link to the file download. You can also show users a page on your website to download the file or redirect them to the file download URL.
Simply, edit the post or page where you want to display the form. This will add the WPForms block to your post or page content. You need to select the form your created earlier from the drop-down menu. Based on your settings, when users submit the form they will get the confirmation message with the file download link or redirected. This method is recommended if you want to make the file download available to existing users, members, or paid users.
For this method, we will be using MemberPress. It is the best WordPress membership plugin and allows you to easily control access to premium content, file downloads, members-only content, and more. First, you need to install and activate the MemberPress plugin. Upon activation, you need to visit MemberPress » Settings page to enter your license key. You can find this information under your account on the MemberPress website. You can also create free subscription plans if you want.
MemberPress supports PayPal and Stripe. You can also use Authorize. You can also choose to add multiple methods. On the next screen, you can give your membership plan a name and set a pricing option. Depending on how you want to organize your memberships, you can choose lifetime, expiring, or fixed expiring plans.
Next, you need to create an access rule. This allows you to control which parts of your website you want to be protected and available to members-only. MemberPress offers a whole range of options.
You can select posts that match certain tags, categories, pages that are under the same parent page, single posts, or any URL. Below that, you need to select who will have access to the protected content. We have chosen anyone who has Basic membership. Next, you need to create content that you want to be protected. For this tutorial, we want users to be able to download a file. You can create a new post in WordPress, based on our rules settings we will simply add the tag members-only to protect this page.
After that, you can simply add your file download as a link or a download button in the post content. After that, you can add a custom message you want to show to users who have not signed up yet. You can now save or publish your content and preview it in a new browser window using incognito mode. Tip Once you've opened the downloaded file with the appropriate program, you may save it to the storage device of your choosing. Note Images saved using this process should be accessible in the photo album on your device.
