Thanks anyway, unfortunately I don’t know how to code. In fact I’m very new to wordpress and everything I’ve been doing with my site I’ve been learning as I go, asking questions and such.

Thank you that update fixed the inventory control bug. My last question would be, is there a way to limit the amount of free downloads to a name/email address rather than tie the limit to a product ID or name?

For example say I set my test product for 2 available copies. How I would like to set it up is for say someone enters their name/email address and clicks the download button they can generate an encrypted link, just like it works now. Because I’ve set it to “2” available copies (arbitrarily), they could theoretically do this one more time, by refreshing the page and re-entering their name/email address or revisiting the page. After they’ve done this for the second time they wouldn’t be able to do this again. They would receive the “sorry, no copies left” message, just like it works at the moment.

However, the way it’s coded now, when someone, anyone enters their name/email address two times, as set by my limiting it to 2 copies, once they’ve entered their name/email address twice the page displays “sorry, no copies left” message.

The change I would like to propose making is rather than tying the limit to the product/page tying it to the name/email address allowing other people the ability to enter their name/email address for the same free product on the same page.

Not to add to the confusion but I also did the upgrade and now when I go over the amount of available copies set in the inventory control panel by filling in the name and email address to generate the encrypted link the available copies start adding in negative integers (-3, -5, etc). Meaning if I set the available amount of copies of the digital download to 2 if I keep downloading past 2 it starts going into negative integers and still allows my to download, possible bug?

Thank you I understand what a squeeze page does and why it does it but can you tell me how I can modify the behavior so that once a person enters their name and email address to generate an encrypted link they won’t be able to generate another link with the same name and email address? What code do I need to tweak? Where do I do this? What do I need to do exactly?

By the way I just submitted my info for the an update.

Thanks, Morgen

I think there’s a little misunderstanding here so I’ve included a link and will try to detail what the issue is. The link is http://instantrecords.com/test-product/

When you arrive to the page there is a name and email field to fill out as well as a download button. When someone enters their name and email address an encrypted link gets sent to their email inbox which is great.

My problem is that if you refresh the page or come back to the page and refill out the name and email field one can easily acquire a new encrypted link an indefinite amount of times, try it yourself to see what I mean.

Under the “manage product” I’ve set the “available copies” to “2” already however the “sales count” never seems to increase no matter how many times I’ve regenerated an encrypted link by following the example above.

As an aside, the sales count does increase if I don’t use the [wp_eStore_free_download_ajax:product_id:?:end] tag, for example under normal conditions where I’m requiring a payment for downloads.

Thank you in advance for any advice or help with this, Morgen

This is definitely a step in the right direction. However I still have a couple of questions. In addition to my customers inputting their email address and name I’d like them to have to enter a custom code/coupon code that will only be allow them to download the file two times. With the squeeze page the way it is, anyone with the url could download the files infinitely. My purpose is to include digital downloads of the songs on my record that I will be selling online. I’m going to be including small cards with each record, my goal is to have a different code for each record that the customer can use twice. Is this possible? Thanks again for your help.

– Morgen
