    I am trying option #4 in an attempt to avoid the emails I get about people not receiving their download links via email.

    Two things:

    1. I have several free products for download, so I am wondering if I HAVE to set up a “Thank You” page for each product, or if there’s a way to dynamically change the Download button target based on which product squeeze form was used to get there.

    2. I know this isn’t a plugin issue, but I’ll ask here in case you know. How do I make sure that the “Thank You” page doesn’t show up in search results? Simply specifying “no index” in wp isn’t working.

    Thanks!

    @PHomemaker, You will need to set up a “Thank You” page for each product (unless you want to show all the download buttons on the same page).

    “no index” usually works. If your page is still appearing in results, it’s probably because Search engine bots haven’t crawled the site since you added the tag.

    I would like only current members to be able to download the product for free. It seems that the “Download with Discount” addon might work, but I would have to change the discounts each month so that memberships that have expired or cancelled would not longer have access to the code.

    So I am wondering if there is a way instead for this “download for free” option to appear with certain products when a member is logged in?

    You should be able to use the section protection feature of eMember to achieve this:

    https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-membership/how-to-protect-a-section-of-a-post-or-page-88

    Simply wrap your download now button using the section protection shortcode. So only valid/current members can see the download now button and interact with it.

    Hi, thank you for great plugin.

    Im using the squeeze form to send digital product links to my B2B customers. Overall it works great. I only have the following questions:

    1) How do I change the font size to a smaller one for the input fields? The current size is abnormally big (see print screen on this link bit.ly/3c3KDzR). I assume I can add some css to wp_eStore_style.css? Maybe something like:

    .free_download_form input{

    background: white;

    font-size: 14px;

    }

    2) How do I change the background color for the input fields from the color grey to white? I assume I can add some css to wp_eStore_style.css? Maybe something like:

    .free_download_form input{

    background: white;

    font-size: 14px;

    }

    3) How do I insert a blank row between the lower input field and the button? At the moment the button is attached to the lower input field and it looks strange.

    Regards,

    H

    You can add the custom CSS code in the following interface of your site:

    WP Admin Dashboard -> Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS

    The example CSS your showed looks fine to me. You will need to try them yourself and see what works.

    For me to be able to give you CSS, I will need to inspect the form myself in my browser (a print screen won’t work). I need to see the HTML code of the page so I will need the URL of the page where it is being used.

    The following CSS tweak will set a font-size of 14px for the input fields. It will also make the background-color white.

    .free_download_form_standard .eStore_text_input {
    font-size: 14px;
    background-color: white;
    }

    The following CSS tweak will add a little spacing above the download submit button:

    .free_download_form_standard .free_download_submit {
    margin-top: 15px;
    }

    Hi,

    we have tested option 1 with an “add to cart” button.

    Is there an option to switch to manual checkout from a “buy now” button for a free item?

    i.e. Click on the button and take the customer straight to the manual checkout form?

    No, because Buy Now buttons go directly to PayPal.

    You can try the following feature to create gateway specific buy now type buttons (if that is helpful):
