Form hide and success text disabled on redirect

    I want to use one of dropboxes auto download links (?dl=1 or ?raw=1) as a redirect so I don’t have to leave the page and still have an automatic download.

    When I drop the link in the redirect space I get the auto download, but the form hide and success text disable.

    Please let me know if there is anything I can do to trigger an automatic download from dropbox, or server while still using this form.

    Hi Aaron,

    You could create a “success” page on your WordPress site and then include the following piece of JavaScript which redirects the user after a few seconds.

    <script type="text/javascript">
// redirect to download after 5 seconds
window.setTimeout(function() {
    window.location.href = 'https://www.download-url.com';
}, 5000);
</script>

    Then, use the “success” page as your redirect-to URL. The page will show users a thank you / success message (up to you) and then redirect to your download.

    Hope that helps!

    My apologies for not closing this before you took time out of your schedule to answer.

    I did something similar, and it works perfect. Ended up creating a link to a new page, included said link in email sub confirmation, and set auto download after x amount of delay time.

    I wanted to avoid navigating away from the page, but the transition is very smooth so it seems to work great.

    Thank you for your response regardless.
