Hi
I would like to enforce an email sign-up before someone can download a particular tool we offer.
At the minute I created that with Contact Form 7, but it’s not very elegant. Please have a look at the screenshot in private.
I would like for the button to stay and when you click it the form to pop up. Or maybe the bit above the email field could be formatted into the look of the standard button?
Or maybe you have something in place which I’m not aware of? Can you possibly help me with this? Maybe you have a better idea.
Thanks a lot
JuneHey june,
I tested your form, but it doesn’t make since to me, after entering my email, it says I can download from “here” which is a blank line, I tried clicking the “download tool” button but it just jumped to the top of the page, with no pop-up?
Perhaps a better solution would be to include the download link in a auto response to the sign up form, this way you won’t get fake emails, or try a plugin that will hide the download button until after the sign up so it is clear when to click it.

I hope this helps.Best regards,

Thanks for your response. The reason it makes no sense to you is because I was unable to complete what I was aiming for without your help :)
I dug a bit deeper into what Contact Form 7 can do and I think your suggestions of implementing an auto response is the most sensible solution in this case. I went ahead and set it up but I seem to have one configuration issue in the Mail2 section. What do I need to fill into the ‘To’ section so the person who fills in the form receives the email? [your-email] doesn’t seem to do the trick.
Thanks for your help.
JuneHi,
Glad to hear you will try CF7, So first when using Mail2 your setup sounds right, here is a tutorial to check: How to Setup Autoresponder in Contact Form7
But there is the possibility that your host has some mail rules, to check I recommend installing WP Mail Logging which will show you a log of the emails to see if and where WordPress is sendind and if there are errors.
Often people find that their host requires SMTP to send outbound email, this is to cut down on spam, still other hosts require a special “Reply” field in the mail header, asking your host if they use “spamassasin” or something similar will tell us if we need to add this for you.
Here is a video on setting up SMTP which typically solves the sending issue. https://youtu.be/gqju-VMkn1Y
Note that Mail2 will only send after a successful form send.
Also here is the Contact Form 7 docsBest regards,
MikeHi Mike
Thank you so much for your help. I have just tried the form again and the email is coming through now. I have no idea what is going on. That’s the 2nd ticket I logged today and both issues were resolved by waiting…
