Bulk download all files from a [Gravity Forms](https://www.gravityforms.com/ "visit Gavity Forms website") entry in one go.
This plugin is an add-on to the Gravity Forms form builder plugin.
It offers the opportunity to download all files from one or multiple Gravity Forms entries with one click.
Therefore, it adds a download link to the list view, and an extra download button to the single view of a Gravity Form entry and a Bulk Action.
All uploaded files are collected and downloadable in a single ZIP file.

When I try to bulk download the files, nothing happens. What can I do?
Issues like these usually occur when your server has too low values for the memory_limit or max_execution_time.
The plugin provides the filters bdfgf_memory_limit and bdfgf_max_execution_time to change these values.
You can find example usage of the memory_limit filter and the max_execution_time filter in the two linked GISTs.
Can I influence the permissions to download files in bulk?
By default only logged in users with the gravityforms_view_entries capability are allowed to download files in bulk. You can use the bdfgf_download_permission filter to expand permission check.
Can I add additional files to the zip archive?
The Plugin provides a filter bdfgf_single_entry_uploaded_files and an action bdfgf_after_uploaded_files to do this. You can add extra files to every single entry or to the whole zip archive beside the entries.
You can find example usage of the bdfgf_single_entry_uploaded_files filter and the bdfgf_after_uploaded_files action in the two linked GISTs.
