When user tries to download a file plugin adds countdown timer with a customizable layout.
Files Download Delay plugin wraps file download links with customizable layout which allows you to show any kind of content. For example, while users are waiting for download, you can show them email subscription form, feedback form, related content or even ads.
Download links can be wrapped automatically based on conditions (file extension, element class) or manually using the shortcode [fddwrap]<a href="path/to/file.pdf">Download</a>[/fddwrap]
.
Features which you can easily customize:
* delay time in seconds before download happens,
* text fields and html content shown to user during countdown and when timer is finished,
* content when download is failed (e.g., when file is missing)
* layout appearance (shadow, curved edges, colors, etc.)
* auto-wrap options (custom list of file extensions or/and element’s class)
Suitable to wrap any type of content including documents (xlsx, docx, pdf,…), media (wav, mp3, mp4,…) or archives (zip, rar, tar.gz,…) – no limits here.

. Please double-check that the toggle is ON in the plugin settings and you did add file extensions in the corresponding field.
If your download links don’t have file extensions (ex: domain.com/files/download?name=magicfile) make sure that <a>
element or its parents have some class like <a class="magic-class">
. Add this class to the corresponding field in auto-wrap settings.
