📖 Detailed Overview
Email Lock turns your downloads into list-building assets. Instead of public links, visitors enter their email and receive a secure download URL. That keeps your files protected, ensures you capture leads, and creates an auditable trail of access. Configure global defaults, then override settings per file—add consent language, enable double opt-in, or change the email template. Pair with your SMTP provider for reliable inbox delivery and higher conversion from lead magnets, whitepapers, and eBooks.
Buying from wpshopgpl.com includes lifetime free updates and limited support via email—ideal for agencies, SaaS, education, and publishers.
