eStore – Free Download Not Working

[Francis]

Hi there, I’m trying to build a sidebar squeeze form where the person that signs up / subscribe will get a free ebook. [http://Gangventures.com]

However I’m encountering the following problems:

– The tags [wp_eStore_free_download:product_id:1:end] and [wp_eStore_free_download_ajax:product_id:5:end] does not work. Only the text comes out. Is there a conflict with other types of plugins?

– The non-ajax worked ([wp_eStore_free_download_squeeze_form id=3], but I like the ajax version) , but when I tried subscribing, I always get 2 emails and I was able to subscribe successfully and get the download link. But when I click the download link, it doesn’t work (give me a page not found error).

– I also used the “downloadable” setting to keep the file hidden.

Oh I was able to resolve it! I changed my site from sub domain to domain and the settings didn’t change but it’s all working now. I also get 1 email for each one now.

The only problem I have now is the ajax form for my side bar doesn’t work. I would like to have some sort of subscribe in exchange for a free file.

Got a link to a test page? Note: multiple Ajax forms on the same page can cause issues. So use the normal squeeze form. Use the following shortcode to be specific:

[wp_eStore_free_download_squeeze_form id=1]

Hi, it’s all working now, except the sidebar ajax which I’d like to have. my website is GangVentures.com. If you click on any link you should see the sidebar with the form, but it doesn’t work with ajax.

I just looked at your site with Firebug and I can see that your theme appears to be throwing a jquery error as shown below:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) [http://gangventures.com/wp-content/themes/discovery/images/controls.png]

Fix the above error and the ajax stuff should start working.

Alternatively, don’t use the ajax version of the squeeze form as suggested by WZP above.

Hi guys, I was able to fix the jquery errors. Thank you for pointing that out. Fixing it however didn’t fix my problem on having the ajax subscribe form on the sidebar. Anything else you recommend?

I went to your site and the squeeze form works fine for me. I am guessing you are using the normal squeeze form now (this one is our recommended one). What remaining issue do you see with the ajax one?

[Francis]

I’m having issues placing it on my sidebar… It doesn’t work.

[admin]

The ajax squeeze form doesn’t work on the sidebar. It only works in a post or page.

You have to use the standard squeeze form if you need to put it in a sidebar widget.
