How Do I Create a Download Form in WordPress?

Creating a download form in WordPress is relatively easy. First, you will need to create a new file in your WordPress site.

Name the file download.php and add the following code:.

‘file’,

‘#title’ => __( ‘Download Form’ ),

‘#description’ => __( ‘This form allows visitors to download files from your site.’ ),

‘#required’ => true,

‘#file’ => array(

‘#title’ => __( ‘Files to Download’ ),

‘#files’ => array(),

‘#maxfiles’ => -1,

),

);

?>

Next, you will need to add the file fields to the form. Add the following code to the download.php file:

‘#files’ => array(

Now, you will need to create a function to handle the form submission.php file:

function submitForm( $form ) {

if ( !isset( $form[ ‘#files’ ] ) ) {

echo ‘

Please enter a list of files to download.

‘;

return;

}

if ( !empty( $form[ ‘#files’ ] ) ) {

// Get the files

$files = get_file_list( $form[ ‘#files’ ] );

} else {

echo ‘

Please enter a file name.

‘;

// Process the form

$form[ ‘#result’ ] = file_get_contents( $form[ ‘#file’ ] );

Finally, you will need to add a line to the header of your WordPress site to include the download.php file. Add the following code to the top of your WordPress file:

include_once( ‘download.php’ );

Now, when a visitor clicks on the download form, the submitted files will be downloaded automatically.
