    I have recently purchased eStore and added video products for sale, vids are hosted on Amazon S3

    When I ran an initial test everything worked fine but my first customer received this link and then the following message:

    http://www.shedlightevents.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/download.php?file=3hOa%2FCgGWvGQg6ro

    “The secure download manager ran into a problem that it couldn’t handle, and is unable to process your download request.

    The problem was due to the following reason:

    The download link (see browser address bar) has been used too many times. If you think this reason is in error, please contact the site administrator.”

    I then tried updating the plug-in as per a similar post in this forum, disabling eStore first, but WP came up with this message

    “Destination folder already exists. /home4/singvoca/public_html/shedlightevents/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/

    Plugin install failed.”

    Can you please tell me what to do next. I also want to re issue the link for the customer, how do I do this?

    thanks

    “The download link (see browser address bar) has been used too many times.” The default life of encrypted links is 24 hours or 5 clicks, whichever comes first. You simply had to reissue the customer a new link, using the Admin Functions.

    “Destination folder already exists…” You tried using the WordPress upload manager. We recommend using a manual upload method for the plugins; preferably FTP in the binary transfer mode.

    I tried to generate a new link in the Admin Functions but the same issue occurs. They used the link immediately and the problem occurred on the first try.

    I will try the manual upload method and see what happens

    You should also, personally try out a generated link; just to make sure you aren’t being scammed.
