How to protect Redirected Url after Form submission?

All Topics → → How to protect Redirected Url after Form submission?

Hi,

I setup a form submission page. After submission, the page will be redirected to a download page url. The problem is how do I ensure my visitor will always visit my form page first and fill in their particulars before they are redirected to my download page?

 

This isn't so much a Formidable Pro question, but I guess one way you could use Formidable Pro to protect the page is to limit the download page to logged in users. Then you could set your formidable form to register users/log them in and redirect them to the download page...This way if just anyone typed in the URL, they would not be able to access your downloads. Here is more info on the registration Add-on: http://formidablepro.com/knowledgebase/formidable-registration/

There are several other plugins out there that are designed to protect certain pages--there might be something out there that lets you specify that your page can only be accessed if the visitor is coming from your form page.

Or an easier way to do this is to use the form option: "Use content from another page" as the action after form submission. You create your download WordPress page, publish and mark it as private, then select that page as the content to use when your form is submitted. There is some more info on this here: http://formidablepro.com/knowledgebase/show-a-message-page-content-or-redirect/

Hi Steve,
