Attached File is not geting Downloaded

  • Hi,
    I have created a contact form using contact form 7 and also created a download using Download monitor plugin.I have placed your shortcode in a page and inserted id’s of contact form and download.when I fill the form I’m getting email and also after filling the form a link is appearing. Upto there everything is fine. But when I click on the link, it is not downloading any file instead showing an error as:
    [Warning: readfile(): Filename cannot be empty in /home/ubuntu/deployment/indianrealtybytes/real-estate-content/wp-content/plugins/email-before-download/download.php on line 236]
    Could you please suggest me anyway in resolving this issue.Thanks in advance

  • It sounds like your file is messed up somehow in Download Monitor, or the file is not in the right location in the filesystem, or the file is zero bytes or something weird like that.

    Go into Download Monitor (the “Downloads” link on your main wordpress admin menu) so that it lists the files you’ve uploaded. You should be able to “edit” the file (the id of that file should be the same as the download_id in your shortcode by the way). When you “edit” the file it will bring up like the Detail page of info for that file. On that Detail page, look at the top right area of the screen and there will be a URL there. That URL is what you would use to access that file using your web browser and have Download Monitor give it to the browser (in other words, it avoids EBD and CF7 and just tests whether your download is working properly using just Download Monitor). Grab that URL and put it in your browser and see if the file downloads.

    If the file does not download properly then something is wrong with your file or how you uploaded it or where it is or what Download Monitor thinks about it.

    If the file does download ok then I need to take a look a your page to figure out what’s happening, so put the URL to your page in here. Also put your shortcode in here.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.I have checked my download. I have opened it in a new tab it is getting downloaded.

    Here is link for download

    Here is link for my page

    Here is the shortcode: [email-download download_id=”27564″ contact_form_id=”26846″]

    Thank You

    Edit the form that you created in CF7 and change the name of the email field in the shortcode for your html form to be “your-email”. The field name must be “your-email” (without quotes) for things to work properly. See the 2nd screenshot from the top on this page if you don’t follow what I mean:

    I don’t know if a name field is required or not. I think it will work without one … you don’t have one, so I guess we’ll find out ??

    Anyway, change it to “your-email” and try again.
