    That requires adding JavaScript code (due to the way that particular functionality works) which adds the possibility of breakage after a future WordPress update. We prefer to keep things simple and functional.

    The actual squeeze form needs to submit the name and email details of the user which needs a form submission. So this is not possible for the standard squeeze form.

    You can perhaps use the 4th template which has a link option to trigger the popup containing the squeeze form. So the initial trigger is a link to show the squeeze form. Try the template 4 option to see how it works:

    The option to create a custom download link (instead of using the standard button) already exists:

    Direct Download Link (Text Link for a Custom Button)

    If you are talking about changing the plugin’s behavior whereby you want the download button inside a fancy display to be a link, then that won’t work. A link cannot submit any information when clicked (a button can). A button can submit the form with other hidden information that is required by the plugin to offer some of the functionalities.

    I have added a CSS class for that button element so that button for template 4 can be targeted using CSS. Please update the addon to v1.9.8 and you should see the following new CSS class in that button:

    I have updated the addon so it can show the success message for template for (When the “Deliver the Download via Email” option is enabled). Please upgrade to v1.9.7 of the Squeeze form addon for it.

    It usually means that the server’s PHP RAM is needs to be increased to handle that large file download. For situations like this, it’s better to use solutions like the following:

    Amazon S3 Integration Addon

    Dropbox Addon for the Simple Download Monitor

    Are you getting the error at the start of the download or after the download starts? Also, it is worth giving it a try after clearing the browser cache for this.

    Maybe a download ID can be added in the CSS class so it can be targeted more specifically using CSS. Which shortcode are you using?

    The plugin doesn’t really convert it the way you are thinking. It calls various sanitation functions of WordPress (for security) which converts the space characters.

    It’s due to how PHP streaming works. The secure download requires handling of download via PHP streaming (not the standard browser download that you normally use). So if you want the secure PHP streaming downloads, the file names need to be corrected.

    WP Media library won’t allow uploading of certain file types for security reasons. The following addon can be used to override that limitation so more file types can be uploaded via the media library’s upload feature:

    That’s not how a form really works. Each form (if you want to capture data from it) needs to have all the fields that you intend to capture. So if you want to capture the email address from the other squeeze forms also, then the field needs to be there.

    No, it doesn’t have an option for it at the moment.

    Yes, this plugin will read the WP User’s login status to log it.

    It will read our WP eMember plugin’s login status also (mainly because we have control over the other plugin):

    You can’t link to another HTML page which is going to stream the file. You have to directly link to the static file. So our plugin can directly read the file and serve the download to the browser.

    If you want to put your file on an external server and then allow downloads to your normal visitors, then you can use the amazon S3 option. Amazon S3 was designed for that so it has better architecture for.

    You should be able to use a CSS tweak like the following to customize the fancy 4 squeeze form’s button:

    .sdm_sf_tpl4_submit {
        color: blue;
        font-weight: bold;
        background-color: lightblue;
        border-color: lightblue;
    }

    The counting is done by logging the downloads. So if you don’t log the downloads, there is no record of what is being downloaded (and nothing to count).

    Maybe you can keep the logging enabled, then individually disable capture of some information by using the following check-boxes in the settings menu of the plugin:

    Do Not Capture IP Address
    Do Not Capture User Agent
    Do Not Capture Referrer URL
