• Hello,

    I have successfully downloaded Contact Form 7, WordPress Download Monitor, and generated the Email Before Download shortcode.

    When testing to see if it works, I fill out the contact form and after selecting submit (Contact Form 7), the Download Monitor button is not formatted properly (Displays with a small blue dot and text is stacked). I was wondering if there is a way to have it formatted so that it is easy to read and draws attention.

    Kind Regards,

    Austin

  • I haven’t seen anyone with this problem in quite a while. Are you using the latest version of the EBD plugin?

    Anyway, this is usually caused by CSS on your site. Often, this was because people were using an Elegant Themes theme and it had defined some css for “et-icon” and EBD had a div around the download button that happened to have that class on it. I’m pretty sure the EBD authors removed that though. So, perhaps you’re using an older EBD or perhaps there’s some other CSS thing right there that is catching you. Basically the problem is that you have CSS that has a classname that happens to coincide with one of the classes on the button or near it and it’s doing something like changing it from a block element to an inline element or giving it a small width or something like that. If you can’t figure it out, post a link to your page and if I have time I’ll take a quick look

    Yep, same happening for me too? any fix for this.

    b8becb8, there’s not a fix for it because it’s not really a bug. There’s just some conflict between CSS on your site and the CSS that the plugin uses.

    If you post a URL I’ll take a quick look and can probably tell you what the conflict is.

    I’m having the same issue. In my case, I want it to use the Download Manager template.

    Can you please give instructions on how to edit the files in order to inherit download manager settings?

    EBD requires Download Monitor, not Download Manager.

    Sorry, I wrote it wrong.. I am using Download Monitor

    I don’t believe there is any way to use the template functionality of Download Monitor to modify how the EBD link is displayed. In the old old version of Download Monitor there was some sort of “format” feature and EBD does allow you to use that in your shortcode if you’re using the old DM (which is not supported and way old). That said, I can’t remember at all what the “format” thing did … may be completely unrelated to what you’re trying to do.

    Anyway, if your problem is simply that the download button looks weird and like the text is sort of vertical rather than horizontal, then it can be fixed with some css (it’s actually happening because of a conflict in the css names between EBD and your theme probably). If you point me at your page I can tell you what to change to fix it, or you can just look at the CSS of the button and you’ll see that the classname(s) on it are already in use by your theme (probably) and thus the conflict.
