Technically speaking, adding the following to your wp-config.php file should be sufficient:

define('WPCF7_PDF_FORMS_DOWNLOADS_TIMEOUT_SECONDS', 30);

However, due to a limitation in wp-cron scheduling in my plugin, this will not work.

I have added a fix earlier today to make it work (see my commit on GitHub). However, I will need to do some more testing before I make a release with the fix. You may be able to apply the patch to your files manually. If you are having difficulties with this, send me temporary wp-admin login details to my email mentioned above and I will log in and try it out on your WP instance.

I think I know what your problem is. Can you put your PHP file in the same directory that has the ‘wp-load.php’ file and add chdir as shown below:

<?php

define('WPCF7_PDF_FORMS_DOWNLOADS_TIMEOUT_SECONDS', 30);
chdir(__DIR__);
require_once( 'wp-load.php' );
WPCF7_Pdf_Forms::get_instance()->cron();

Make sure you update your cron job to point to the file in the correct folder.

@sherwin_flight, yes.

Unfortunately, I was in a hurry to release compatibility fixes and didn’t do as much testing, which is why some errors slipped through. However, I’ve fixed all the bugs I was able to find so far. Everything should be working. If you find anything not working, please let me know.

Thank you.

Please upgrade ‘PDF Forms Filler for Contact Form 7’ to the latest version.

I don’t think you need to worry about this.

The files are stored in ‘wpcf7_pdf_forms_downloads’ folder in your WP uploads folder. Each form submission has its own randomly named folder. If an unauthorized person wanted to download the generated PDF files, they would at least need to guess the randomized folder name. The folders should be deleted after 24 hours by WordPress cron.

If you really need those files to be deleted ASAP, you can set up a cron job to run every minute with the following code:

<?php

define('WPCF7_PDF_FORMS_DOWNLOADS_TIMEOUT_SECONDS', 30);
require_once( 'wp-load.php' );
WPCF7_Pdf_Forms::get_instance()->cron();

Let me know if that works for you.

I’ve released a new version that fixes the download link feature in CF7 v5.4.
