Contact Form 7 Gated Content

Tanya Jawab

What kinds of files can I gate?

Anything that can be uploaded to the WordPress media library.

Can the download button be customized?

Yes! You can customize the output of the download box with CSS, or you can add this snippet to your theme\’s functions.php file:

function my_content_button($url, $button_text, $button_classes, $content)
{
  return "$button_text";
}

add_filter('wpcf7_gated_content_button', 'my_content_button', 10, 3);

Can I disable the default CSS?

Yes! The default CSS can be disabled on a per-form basis.

Does this secure my files?

No! Gating content does not secure it from outside access. While it does restrict visibility of a download link to those who have completed your form, it does nothing to make the file private. Anyone with the attachment link or a properly formatted cookie will be able to access your file.
