Notice

This plugin doesn’t have these features…

We want to plugins keep simple.

• No GDPR checkbox display (This plugin uses cookies). — However it is not mandatory in Japan.
• No function to send mass emails.
• This plugin saves the customer’s email to database but not other information (name, company, etc.). Manage customer information on your computer, not on WordPress.

Notice

• Do not delete the download page (which the customer visits to download the document) or change the slug. It is OK to change another part of the shortcode.
• When deactivated, shortcords for this plugin become invalid (Shortcodes will display as it is). When you quit to use this plugin, we recommend that you set the corresponding page or post to “Private” or “Draft”.
• Shortcords sample … [f70ldd_download] [f70ldd_entry_form form_id=”num”]

Please test the form before release

Even if you fill out the form and there are no errors, the email may not have been sent correctly. If you don’t see the email being sent, try the plugin “WP Mail SMTP“.

Future updates

We plan to add the following features in future updates.

• Allow to use IP address in disallowed list.
