yes I used the “]” to close it. Just forgot to paste it here.

the result is still a link displayed as plain text, just like this :

http://mydomain.com/?S2member_file_download_key=82514d72712csfsd8916d4d46daf&s2member_file_download=/my-file.zip

I just need to wrap this into a nice link, download key self generated, that appears as a link (cliquable) such as :

<a href="http://mydomain.com/?s2member_some_short_code_or_whatever_to_make_protected_file_accessible_to_all">Download</a>

As a result, the visitor would just have to click on the link
“Download”

I’ve check the part (3) of this video witch is a bit outdated, as it does not show shortcodes. S2 Member Download Section tutorial

I need to add the reason why I cannot use the single html
http://kanibalfilms.fr/?s2member_file_download=example-file.zip&s2member_file_download_key=<?php echo s2member_file_download_key("example-file.zip"); ?>
It is because I’m using a theme that uses the WPBakery Visual Composer. Even if I have ezPHP and even if I enter the code in TEXT mode (never go back to visual), it still removes every php code attribute. so “<” inside the links turns into something that doesn’t work. This is why shortcode would be more convenient.
