[Plugin: Email Before Download] [contact-form-7 404 "Not Found"] Error

Has not solved the issue for me. Getting the same Not Found error. Running v3.0 of Contact Form 7 and v3.0 of Email before Download.

Yes,
the problem persists… getting the same 404 error.

Hi All,

Can you confirm the shortcode and, specifically, the attributes you are using:

download_id
contact_form_id

In the example from Naked Life Coach (below) the attribute is shown as “contact-form id”, when it should have been “contact_form_id” with underscores.

It was written as…
[email-download download_id=”1″ contact-form id=”93″]

It should be written as…
[email-download download_id=”1″ contact_form_id=”93″]

When we used the wrong attribute syntax, we also were able to reproduce the 404 error, so I think this might be the issue and resolution. Please let us know if this helped.

Nope, that doesn’t work. My code is as follows:

[email-download download_id=”1″ contact_form_id=”643″]

and I still get the 404 error.

Hi aberrantphoto and others,

We found another change that was required and released a new version of Email Before Download v3.1. This should support Contact Form 7 v3.0+. Please download this latest release and confirm this has eliminated the error when you have a chance.

Hello,

Will the update show up automatically in our WP admin or should we download it from the WP repository? Thanks for the quick responses!

Nevermind. I see it listed in the repository. I was too quick to the punch!

Okay, so now the form shows up, but I do not get a confirmation nor the inline link to show the download. I tested a normal contact 7 form on the same page and it shows the thank you confirmation message. The form for download, shows the spinning arrows and clears the input fields, but then nothing happens. Any ideas? Should I start a new topic for this?

P.S. I’ve made sure the <?php wp_footer(); ?> is included in my theme, and indeed it is in footer.php.

Update to post above:

I noticed that if I choose to email the link rather than the inline option, the form does work and sends the link. However, the email is from “WordPress.” I’d rather have the inline link option working, but if I must use the email option in order for it to work, guess I’ll have to live with it. However, is there any way to change the “From” field from “WordPress” to my site name or something else?

Yes, really need a way to customize the sender email address.

Hi,

I am getting the same error. It seems that I do have the <?php wp_footer(); ?> in my footer, and I am trying to insert the following.

[email-download download_id="1" contact_form_id="5"]</p>

and I get the same error as the others on this page.

I have the following plugins:
Wordpress download monitor – Version 3.3.5.3
Contact Form 7 – Version 2.4.5
Email before download – Version 3.1

Am I missing something?

I had the same bug because I had the new version of EbD but not the latest version of contact form.

If you just update the contact form it′ll work.

The id’s on the contactform changes when you update though so you′ll have to replace that.

I have the following plugins:
Wordpress download monitor – Version 3.3.5.4
Contact Form 7 – Version 2.4.6
Email before download – Version 3.1.5
WordPress Version 3.0.5 (Debian Squeeze)

Looking to the file : email-before-download.php
After line 169 we have :

$contact_form = do_shortcode("[contact-form-7 id=\"$contact_form_id\" \"$title\"]");

  if(strpos($contact_form, 'contact-form-7 404')!== false) $contact_form = do_shortcode("[contact-form id=\"$contact_form_id\" \"$title\"]");

Corrected by :

$contact_form = do_shortcode("[contact-form-7 id=\"$contact_form_id\" \"$title\"]");

  if(strpos($contact_form, '404')!== false) $contact_form = do_shortcode("[contact-form id=\"$contact_form_id\" \"$title\"]");

Problem of 404 is solved!
the strpos was testing ‘contact-form-7 404’ when my version of contact form return ‘contact-form 404’ so seems that just testing ‘404’ is simplest.

Hope this help … and we will get a new release quickly ??

Is this problem still alive with WP 3.3.1 and Contact Form 7 3.1? I initially was able to view my form, but after making modifications I can no longer view the form, and only see the 404 error.

Hi !
erska
Where exactly to amend the code you said
“$contact_form = do_shortcode(“[contact-form-7 id=\”$contact_form_id\” \”$title\”]”);”
the new shortcode of contact form 7 3.1.1 doesn’t work.
Thank for your respond.
SOrry my bad english, i’m french.

I experienced the same issue when upgrading, here’s how I fixed it. I had been using the old short code still. I simple copied the new short code generated when creating my form, pasted it into my widget, and it fixed the issue. So if you’re using the old short code, swap it for the one that shows first.
