Download Manager Form Lock

Description

Form Lock adds a data capture layer before releasing downloads in Download Manager, requiring the visitor to fill out a customized form before receiving the file. This add-on turns public downloads into lead generation points, linking each access to user-provided information and storing the records in the dashboard for later review by the administrator.

Main Features

• Download lock by form: displays a customized form that the visitor must fill out before the download link is released.
• Flexible form builder: allows creating custom fields (text, email, phone, selection) tailored to each download package.
• Submission storage: saves each submission directly in the WordPress dashboard, linked to the corresponding file and the submission date.
• Field validation: applies mandatory and format rules to ensure that only complete submissions release the content.
• Association by package: allows defining specific forms for each file or category in Download Manager, adjusting data collection to the content type.

Benefits of Form Lock

• Qualified lead generation: converts each download into a registered entry, turning traffic into a contact base.
• Control over content access: prevents anonymous downloads and creates an auditable record of who downloaded what.
• Segmented collection: allows different forms for distinct material types, aligning questions to the context.
• Reviewable history: keeps the submission log accessible in the admin, without relying on external services to store data.

Who Is It For?

• Sites that distribute ebooks, whitepapers, and rich materials as lead magnets for contact capture.
• Companies offering technical documents, catalogs, or samples conditioned on the interested party’s registration.
• Digital marketing professionals who use Download Manager as a gated content hub and need to collect data before delivery.

The add-on serves marketing teams and administrators who already operate Download Manager and want to convert file traffic into identified leads. By attaching a customizable form to each download, the delivery flow starts to feed the site’s contact base, with each record linked to the requested file and available for later analysis within WordPress itself.
