You can do the following to hide the “Name” field from the squeeze form.

#1) Enable the “Make Name Field Not-Required” option in the settings menu of the squeeze form addon.

#2) Next, you can add a CSS tweak to your site to hide the name field.

.sdm_squeeze_name {
  display: none;
}

The CSS tweak can be added from the “Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS” section of your WordPress admin dashboard.

The squeeze form will cut a long title to make it fit withing our design guidelines. The following page has screenshots that shows the optimum designs for the squeeze forms.

Edit your title and make it shorter. You can add extra text in the description section and use fancy=”1″ template to show description

Use the “button_text” parameter to customize the text in your language. There are examples in the above page that shows how to use the “button_text” parameter. Below is an example shortcode:

[sdm-squeeze-form id="210" fancy="0" button_text="My Custom Button Text"]

The sidebar is controlled by your theme. If you do the following theme test, you will see how the sidebar behavior changes with the theme change:

So you will need to ask your theme developer as to how the sidebar can be hidden.

Normally, you maybe able to edit the “single post” template of your theme and customize it for the downloads custom post type.

The other option is to put your download item on a page that you create. So you create a landing page then embed the download item there. That way you will be able to have more customization control on that landing page. The following documentation explains how you can use a shortcode to embed a download item on any page that you create:

Deliver the downloads by email is the option to use for this.

The double opt-in is for Mailchimp signup. That won’t really help if you are letting them download just after entering the info.

We have made a change in the plugin to accept this character in the download URL field. That should resolve this.

Let me investigate this a little more and get back to you.

This is actually done for security. Can you rename your files to not have “empty space” characters? Empty space character (which gets converted to % symbol) is actually not a valid character for the URL.

It is okay to have spaces in the file name on your computer (Example: My eBook.zip) but remember when you upload it on the server it becomes a URL and a proper URL should not have spaces.

For example, the following is a good URL:

http://www.example.com/my-ebook.zip

Where as the following is not a good URL since it contains empty space character:

http://www.example.com/my eBook.zip

Hi Rupert, Please post the URL of the page where you have the squeeze form so I can inspect the HTML code. Then I should be able to give the necessary CSS tweak for what you requested.

This is now possible to do with the following shortcode.

Displaying All Downloads from a Particular Category

Example Usage: the following shortcode will display all downloads that belong to category ID 5 or category ID 6

[sdm_show_dl_from_category category_slug="5,6" fancy="1"]

The last update shouldn’t affect downloads. I just checked my woocomemrce downloads on a site that uses this plugin and the downloads are working fine for me.

Maybe the file has been deleted for this product? Do a test by creating a new product with a simple download that you can test to isolate if the issue is coming from another factor or not.

That all looks fine to me. I don’t see anything wrong from the outside. I will try to check your configuration inside the plugin to see if I can spot anything. I will send you an email for it.

That’s strange. What is the full shortocde that you are using on that page? And what URL value have you entered in the “After Download Redirect” field?

[admin]

Is there JavaScript errors on this site that is preventing the hidden downloads addon from working?

Post the URL of the page where you have the download button so I can inspect it and check if there are any JS errors on the page.

[admin]

This is going to be a conflict related issue. You have something on this site that is getting stuck and re-submitting the squeeze form submission multiple times which is causing this.

The following test may help you identify where it is coming from:
