 * It would probably be more than a month. I’ve been trying to finish and launch
   a new version of the software stack behind the PDF editing. That is more of a
   priority for me right now, it would solve more pressing issues. However, let 
   me see what I can do. If you really need this feature urgently, sponsoring this
   feature will allow me to have the budget for my guys to work on it immediately.

 * 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](https://github.com/maximum-software/pdf-forms-for-contact-form-7/commit/97d01123ebbd4e7f9f8ad56d020ebf66396d83a2)
   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.

 * It works for me. One thing I can do is look at your setup and try to debug it.
 * If you send me temporary cPanel login details to admin at maximum dot software
   then I will do some debugging.

 * 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.

 * You will need to put this code in a separate PHP file somewhere in your hosting
   environment and then create a cron job to run that file. If you have cPanel, 
   you can set up a cron job using the web UI.
 * Here is a random tutorial for doing the above that I found via a search engine:

 * [@sherwin_flight](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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.

 * You are right, my first method isn’t going to work due to a number of reasons.
 * I tried to implement my second method with the [conditional fields plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-conditional-fields/)
   but that didn’t work also.
 * I will need to fix my plugin to allow what you need as part of my multi-select
   support effort. I don’t have an ETA for when this will be done. I’ll update this
   support ticket once I do it.

 * 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.

 * One way to make it work is to edit your PDF and change the exported values for
   your checkboxes. For example, the ‘Building’ checkbox would have the exported
   value ‘Building’, the ‘Electrical’ checkbox would have ‘Electrical’ and so on.
   You wouldn’t need the pipes at that point. Then, you would map the single CF7
   field to multiple PDF fields.
 * Another way to do it is to use some sort of conditional mail-tag. There might
   be a plugin that can help with that. You would then map the conditional mail-
   tag to the field.
