Download Manager Live Forms

Description

The Live Forms addon connects forms from Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, Contact Form 7 and WPForms to the download flow of WordPress Download Manager, requiring the form to be filled out and submitted before the file is released. Designed for teams that distribute rich materials in exchange for contact data, capturing qualified leads directly at the moment of the click, without redirecting visitors to intermediate registration pages.

Key Features

• Download lock via form: displays the selected form before releasing the file link managed by Download Manager.
• Compatibility with popular form plugins: integrates with Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, Contact Form 7 and WPForms from the same configuration screen of the package.
• Link per package: each download package can have a distinct form, allowing different data to be collected based on the material delivered.
• Real-time release: after a valid submission, the download button is unlocked on the same page, without a full page reload.
• Centralized entry collection: submissions are stored in the chosen form plugin itself, preserving the review and export workflow already in place.

Benefits of Live Forms

• Qualified lead generation: turns every distributed file into a contact capture point relevant to the sales team.
• Reuse of existing stack: uses forms you already set up, without migrating data to a new system.
• Reduced friction for the visitor: registration occurs on the same download page, shortening the path to the file.
• Granular control per material: allows only strategic content to be conditioned to the form, keeping other downloads free.

Target Audience

• B2B marketing teams that distribute e-books, whitepapers, and case studies in exchange for registration.
• Educational departments and courses that provide supporting materials upon student or prospect identification.
• Software and service companies that offer samples, datasheets, or trials for prospect acquisition.

Recommended for sites that use Download Manager as an asset hub and need to turn that library into an active capture channel, the addon aligns content delivery and data collection in a single click. By reusing Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, Contact Form 7, or WPForms, it keeps lead operations within the tools already validated by the team, without duplicating bases or fragmenting reports.
