Ok:

make a new page in wordpress
make a new form in CF7 (make sure it has your-name and your-email on it)
upload a new file into Download Monitor — NOTE this must be a new filename, do not use a filename you have ever used before, make it a simple filename like mydog.jpg or something like that, and make sure the file type is .jpg (not pdf).
come up with your new shortcode use the ID from the new CF7 form you just made and the new download_id from the new file you just uploaded and put that new shortcode in the new page you just made.

Your objective in doing the above is to get completely new everything. You do not want to reuse anything. You want new CF7 id, new download ID, new filename, new page. We want to make sure absolutely everything is new and nothing gets pulled from the database. It’s important that you don’t mess up and accidentally use any of the old numbers …. if you do, you will have to do the whole process again in order to get all new stuff again.

Do the above and then test (using that new page you just made).

If it doesn’t work, then we need to look at what is going on with it taking so long. It’s so long that it might be timing out or erroring out somewhere along the way and not getting things in the database correctly or something like that

Wow, ok, that is really really slow then. Although, I will point out that even on ‘inline’ it still sends 1 email (which is the “notification” email that [typically] goes to the system administrator to let you know that a user has downloaded something).

Did you try changing either “first-name” or “last-name” to “your-name” in your CF7 form? Try that.

you would have to modify the php code to do that

Hard to say exactly why that happens — some event handler OnSubmit probably gets run and then examines the page, finds the first form or maybe the first form with some classname or something and then submits it. I don’t know how you are doing your popups, but if it’s a plugin I’d probably just try a different one & it might work as you want.

You are currently configured to display errors to the screen. You must turn this off for EBD to work properly.

You might have like init_set(‘display_errors’,1); or something like that in your index.php or in your wp-config.php. There are other places and ways it could be turned on (could be in your php.ini, for example). If you want to see errors, then you need to make them go to a file. If they go to the screen then it will break the ajax response from EBD.

I have never actually done a page with multiple EBD or CF7 forms on it. However, I have seen other people do it, so at least it used to work in some configuration somehow 🙂

Ok, looking more closely at the html in your page, I do see that each download has a different value for download_id (which actually gets turned into _wpcf7_download_id in the html). So, on the first one, it’s a _wpcf7_download_id of 2, the next one is a 3, and so on.

Regardless of which download button I click on and then fill in the form and submit, it always sends a _wpcf7_download_id of 2 (which, as you said, is the first download). Using Firebug, I changed the value of the first download from 2 to 4 in the HTML and then I clicked on the bottom/last download button, filled in the form, and hit submit. This time, it sent a 4 for _wpcf7_download_id and I got a different PDF file.

So, it looks like regardless of which Submit button you hit, it is actually always submitting the first form on the page. That sounds like a javascript event handler interfering to me. Not sure if that’s coming from Contact Form 7 somehow or if it’s related to your popup forms or your antispam plugin or something else.

I think at this point, your best bet is to make a new test page with 3 or 4 of your forms on there (like your existing page) but don’t do the popup thing and see if that fixes it. Also, check the CF7 support forum and see if there’s anything about multiple CF7 forms on the same page.

ps – on your slow email issue, your hosting provider may say that the problem is with the recipient doing virus scanning on the incoming email. However, I made it send to one of my servers that does no processing on incoming email and I watched the mail log file and could see that your system didn’t even attempt to connect for several minutes, so the problem is definitely on your end.

It kinda looks like you’ve used the same download_id value on each of your shortcodes (a download_id of 2). If that’s true, then you need to change that value to be the download_id of each of the files you have there for download (the download_id being the value for each file from over in the “Downloads” section [which is Download Monitor]).

Also, I noticed it takes like 5 minutes for the email to arrive at my system. Seems like kind of a long time. I don’t know if maybe your hosting provider is scanning those emails on the way out or if it’s set to somehow delay mail or something .. I dunno, seems unusual .. you might want to see if you have the same issue (I tried sending to both a gmail account and also to one of my own servers, same 5 minute delay in email arrival). Maybe talk to your hosting provider.
