* Hello,
* I am trying to use the EBD plugin along with 2 separate forms sending out different
email copy in the templates. Basically I want two different email templates for
separate forms
* Can anyone suggest a fix or reach out for a custom implementation?

* I can’t think of any simple way to do that. I think you would probably need to
modify the php to get that to work.
* You could pay the $10 support fee to the plugin authors (M&S Consulting) and
ask them. They might be willing to spin off a custom version for a fee.

* (I assume the fee would be much higher than the $10 support fee, but can’t hurt
to ask)

* Hey dtynan,
* Thanks for the reply. I was thinking along the same line as you. I have sent
an email to M&S about them taking on this project and have not heard back yet.
* I will keep on trying a few attempts otherwise I can just word the email template
copy to be generic.

* I am communicating with M&S about this feature. Will post an update

* Has there been any update on this?
* I also need 2 forms in a single page with the same fields. Am I right in thinking
the issue is to do with the plugin requiring the `your-email` field and that
you can’t have the same named field in two contact form 7 forms on the same page?

* I have seen other people’s pages where they have multiple EBD forms on a single
page, but I have never done it myself and I can’t recall if I’ve ever seen one
that actually worked. Off the top of my head, I’d be surprised if it worked,
but maybe… I’m not going to go trace through the code to figure it out. If you
had it working at one time then I guess it does work.
* I just use a single form and do the checkboxes to handle multiple files & letting
the user choose which one, since that is supported & built in, but I know some
people need different separate forms all on one page for some reason.
* One thing about EBD is that it gets things in its database that can later mess
you up if you start doing things like flipping around your shortcodes with different
form IDs and such but trying to reuse the same fileIDs that you’ve uploaded —
things can get kind of goofy. So, one option would be for you to make entirely
new forms with new IDs, upload entirely new files (new as in new filenames –
do not reuse the same filenames), and then set up new shortcodes with the proper
IDs in each one (and never make a mistake on those or you’ll have to start over).
I don’t know that that would fix things, but you could try it.
* Or, perhaps something with your redirects and such in your production environment
is messing it up somehow, as you suggested in your other support item. Hard to
say without seeing it, and even then, who knows…
* Just to be clear, the person that started this thread actually wanted 2 separate
templates, which is definitely not possible with the way the plugin is written(
it has one set of settings for the templates — it has no place to store another
set, nor any way to differentiate as to which one to use).

* Xavvi, sorry I slightly confused you with this poster on this item – [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/several-buttons-to-download-on-the-same-page-email-before-download?replies=1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/several-buttons-to-download-on-the-same-page-email-before-download?replies=1)
* so the stuff about your “production environment” was for him really, not you.
Regardless, both of you are sort of trying to do the same thing, so my update
still more or less applies.

* Hi dtynan,
Thanks for getting back. My problem is slightly different as I only
have one form template I call in my code and it was working great until it did
not and I cannot figure why. I have separate download buttons in the same page
but my EBD is setted to send only one email per link. Here is the kind of code
I inserted: ‘[DOWNLOAD NOW](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-forms-and-emails/?output_format=md#contact_form_pop)
*
[email-download download_id=”4881″ contact_form_id=”4441″]
’ The
problem is: Any button you click now on the page will only send the first document
to download of the list. If I unpublish this document, the second one takes its
place on the downloads etc… Is there any other plugin or other code that could
mess up with this? I am out of solutions as I installed the previous plugin versions
and nothing happens and I even recreated the page from scratch. If somebody has
an idea. Thanks a lot!

* Thanks for your reply dtynan.
* I’ve ‘solved’ my problem by simply using the same contact form in the page but
styling it differently. It’s not a technical fix but it does the job I need it
to.
