Hiding a URL behind a form

    Hi,

    I have a WordPress page and a form. The form is generated by Contact Form 7 and Email Before Download. Currently it works like this:

    [email-download download_id="***" contact_form_id="***"]

    So when the user fills out the form, he gets the download link to the file. Can I add a download without a file? I want to just hide a URL behind this registration form. So when the user registers, he gets an email with the url (but the URL is not a URL to a file/download, but a webpage), but there’s no file, just a webpage.

    The file="www.some-url.com" is not working, neither does adding a new download with only an URL in it: If I exclude the download ID, and olny use file=..., I get a blank page. If I include it, I get an empty delimiter error for strpos.

    Is there a way to do this?

    Thank you!

    A download without a file after filling a form is not a download at all it is just an email form.
    I would create a new contact form with the relevant input fields, then in the Mail tab Message Body field put the html for the link in the content of the email.
    Then instead of the [email-download] shortcode just use your CF7 shortcode [contact-form-7 id=”111″ title=”test”]
