In reply to: [Email Before Download] Send Email Delivery Format BugA lot of people using EBD that have had the same problem that you’re having were able to solve the problem by using the Postman SMTP plugin by Jason Hendriks – https://wordpress.org/plugins/postman-smtp/
I suggest you try that one if you haven’t already. He’s also pretty good about helping folks — sometimes on this forum, otherwise on the Postman SMTP plugin. I believe the first thing he has you do is look at the delivery log in Postman SMTP to see what it says.

In reply to: [Email Before Download] I only see the Short code on the page?sounds like there is an error probably. please answer all my questions from the previous post — you didn’t answer any of them yet 😉

In reply to: [Email Before Download] I only see the Short code on the page?do you have the email-before-download plugin installed?
did you install Contact Form 7 plugin and configure a form (and the id is 5230)?
did you install the Download Monitor plugin, then upload a file to it & that file is id 5214?if yes to those questions, then what versions of each plugin?
anything showing up in any error log anywhere?
have you tried downloading the file you uploaded by going to it’s download URL using your browser? (the download URL will be kind of in the top right area when you’re in the Download Monitor config section & looking at that download [that file that you uploaded])

In reply to: [Email Before Download] Contact Form 7 attributesEBD doesn’t know about html_id or html_class and EBD doesn’t pass shortcode parameters that it doesn’t know about thru to Contact Form 7. So, those won’t work.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to do exactly, but here are some options:
You could directly edit the email-before-download php file and hardcode html_id and html_class in there where it calls the CF7 shortcode (or maybe you could pay the author – M&S Consulting – something to add that feature and spin another version of EBD.
If you’re just trying to style the form tag and you only have 1 CF7 form on the page then you can use the .wpcf7 class which will be a class on the form tag (much like html_class would do).
If you have multiple CF7 forms on the page or whatever then you can use CSS selectors to get at the CF7 form or div tags by starting from an outer or higher tag and selecting down into them. Or, use javascript to do stuff .. perhaps iterate through all form tags on the page with .wpfc7 class and then style them in some way.

In reply to: [Email Before Download] Notification mail sent but not link mailPossibly, though it’s still a bit weird that I didn’t get an email. You could try changing it and see I guess.
You don’t have any weird plugins installed that might mess with mail or proxies or network connections or anything like that I assume…

In reply to: [Email Before Download] Notification mail sent but not link mailI don’t know how his logging works so it may not display my IP. I was just guessing. 🙂
Maybe Jason will respond again w/more help. I’m stumped.

In reply to: [Email Before Download] Notification mail sent but not link mailIt’s been over half an hour — still nothing. Looking at the mail log, I don’t see anything addressed to info@electionaustin.com in the last couple of hours.
From my side, it looks like it’s not getting out of your environment. Do you know what IP address it would have come from? I can look for that in my log. Did the Postman SMTP log show it connecting to 72.14.191.91 (my system) ? If so, what’s the timestamp?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Email Before Download] Notification mail sent but not link mailIf you want, you can fill out your form again & put your email address as “info@electionaustin.com”. That goes to me and I accept all mail & do no filtering or blocking to that address. If your side sends it I’ll definitely get it. If I get it I’ll post back here & let you know.

In reply to: [Email Before Download] My download appears in new "page"You might be able to put an iframe in your popup window and then change the target= to be the name of the iframe. That would cause it to load into that iframe instead of firing up another browser window/tab.
I don’t know if that’s a good solution, but it might work. You’ll have to modify the EBD source a little bit to make the target= point at the right name, of course. And then do a custom template in ebd settings and put an iframe in there. Hmm. That might be a bit weird because the empty iframe would be above the link (higher on the page than the link) if you do it in the custom template (because the link gets dynamically added at the bottom).
I don’t know, no matter how you slice it it’s gonna be some work. The iframe would have the advantage of being able to display PDF or whatever in there (as opposed to writing some custom javascript and shoving something into the innerhtml of an empty div on your page once someone clicks the download link, limiting your content to html and images)

In reply to: [Email Before Download] email to downloader has spambar score ofThat’s really pretty low — I doubt many people set it that low or they would catch a lot of non-spam.
That said, if you want to lower your score more, you can do the usual things — make sure you have a valid reverse DNS set for your domain, make sure the From account & domain exist on the sending system and are correct, set up SPF, DKIM, and Domain Keys, etc.

There are hundreds of rules in spamassassin, so looking at individual rules is not very useful usually, but here’s the list in case you want to peruse it:

In reply to: [Email Before Download] My download appears in new "page"That Inline Link Target setting just controls whether the link (the href tag) has “target=_blank” (which opens a new browser window or tab) or has “target=_self” which loads into the same browser window or tab (replacing the content there).
I’m not sure exactly what you’re trying to do. Your site is very heavy on the javascript. Your email before download page that shows the download link is in a javascript popup window. That is created by javascript on your page … it is creating that windowing style popup environment. The _blank and _self targets are at a lower-level, so to speak. They don’t know anything about your javascript popup windows. I’m not sure what your content is when people click the link, but you would need to use javascript to get control of the click on that link and shove the resulting content into one of your popup wijndows if that’s what you’re trying to do. Of course, that’s not gonna work for something like PDF where it requires a browser plugin/extension to display. But it might work for other content like an image. You’d have to custom code some javascript to do that…

In reply to: [Email Before Download] How to change email from wordpress to my nameIt allowed spaces? Wow, ok, well, good! I thought that was an issue I ran into — must have been something else I guess.

In reply to: [Email Before Download] How to change email from wordpress to my nameoh, one more thing. As I recall, you can’t put a space character into the fields in that Customer Sender Before Email Download plugin. (If I remember correctly, it has a field for the email address and then a field for the name & that name field won’t take a space, which is slightly annoying.)
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Email Before Download] Notification mail sent but not link mailA few ideas:
1. Make the From be only the email address (like blah@blah.com). Don’t put the < > and name and all the extra junk. Email only. See if that works.
2. Check your spam folder — maybe you are getting the emails but they’re showing up in spam so you’re missing them.
3. Try Postman SMTP instead of Easy WP SMTP maybe? A lot of people on here use Postman SMTP by Jason Hendriks and have all had success with it. I would think Easy WP SMTP would work just fine, but I know for a fact Postman SMTP works. There is a post a while back .. could be 50 or more messages ago where Jason Hendriks sort of helped walk someone else who was using Google Apps through the set up of everything. I can’t remember what he said about it. He MIGHT have the last reply so his name might show up on the list of msgs, which would make it easier to find. Or, you might even post in the support forum for Postman SMTP and explain the issue over there (assuming you switch). He reads over here some but he might not see this post now that my name is the last replier, not sure.
4. If none of the above works, I’d check with your ISP and make sure there’s nothing they have to set up or turn on or something.

In reply to: [Email Before Download] How to change email from wordpress to my nameYou can use this plugin to change the From: of the email sent to the end user
https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-sender-for-email-before-download/
Be aware that if you change the From: value to an account or domain that doesn’t exist on your server (like if you were to put your gmail address for example), then many email providers will not accept any email sent unless you do all the anti-spam stuff like SPF, DKIM, etc.
Also be aware that every time you resave your EBD settings, it will wipe out the values in that plugin above so you will have to put them back in there.
Alternatively, various SMTP plugins let you set various fields in your email. Many people on this forum use Postman SMTP by Jason Hendriks. He also occasionally reads this forum so he might pop in with help if you need it.
