Errors on PHP7 platform

    This plugin does not work correctly on a PHP7 platform. For example:

    PHP message: PHP Warning: preg_replace(): The /e modifier is no longer supported, use preg_replace_callback instead in /home/clients/blahblah/web/blog/wp-content/plugins/email-before-download/download.php on line 253

    I note, too, that it depends on another plugin that is no longer supported. I have used this plugin happily for a few years, but it seems to be entering a cul de sac, unless some major updates are made, and soon. Any short term fixes?

    The Email Before Download plugin has not yet been updated for compatibility with PHP 7. The latest update from a few days ago removed a minor css issue that affected the download button on some themes, but did not update for PHP 7. I do not know when M&S Consulting will release an updated version that fixes things broken by PHP 7 ( https://wiki.php.net/rfc/remove_deprecated_functionality_in_php7 and https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-7.0.0RC2/UPGRADING ).

    Email Before Download requires Download Monitor and Contact Form 7 plugins. It can use the latest version of both of those plugins (I do so on several sites). The notice on the Description page that says you have to use the old, unsupported Download Monitor is not accurate anymore.

    That’s really interesting dtynan, thanks for this information.
