WP PDF Stamper – Strange Error

[bentley74]

I am trying to test my stamper our using a manual stamping process for one of the documents I’ll be including in an upcoming product. I got this error when I clicked “stamp it”:

plugins [path to a file] is corrupt. in Unknown on line 0

This can happen if you upload the plugin file using “automatic mode”. Uploading should always be done in “Binary” mode. Anyway, the easiest way to fix this is to deactivate and delete the plugin then get a fresh build from here and use that:

Hi Amin – not sure I understand what you mean re: “automatic” vs “binary” uploading. Is this a setting that gets adjusted in the FTP program (FireFTP in this case)?

The PDF stamper was a copy of the latest version – I was sent the download link after requesting an update yesterday or the day before.

Should I still request another download link? Or try simply uploading it again?

Yes it is a settings in the FTP program that you are using. Files should always be uploaded using the binary mode to make sure that illegal characters don’t get appended to them during the transfer thus corrupting a file.

You can also use the default plugin uploader inside WordPress which will upload the plugin to your plugins directory correctly. What the video tutorial here:

Ok – now my error is “Secret key or source file information is not present in the request.”

This came up when I tried a manual stamping.

The license key is definitely activated, and the file is definitely where I’ve told the plugin it is, so I have no clue.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Ok – think I figured it out. I had the default source folder URL in the main settings section. When I changed it over to the actual folder where my file is it worked fine.

Guess I figured the manual stamping URL would just override the URL in the settings.

Anyway – glad to have it working!
