    I just installed the plugin and am entering my product details. I get the above message every time I specify a URL for a thumbnail image or a download link. My URLs look like:

    [http://mydomain.com/htdocs/blog1/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/product.jpg]

    or

    [http://mydomain.com/htdocs/blog1/wp-content/ebooks/bookone.epub]

    I know the URLs are wrong because they give me a 404 message when I plug them into my browser. But how do I get the correct URLs for files I uploaded to my WordPress site with FTP or with the WP media uploader?

    I suck at this stuff. Help?

    After you upload it to the media uploader, click edit for that image. Then look at the File URL field. You can select everything in the File URL field (this is the full URL of the image) then copy and paste that.

    OK, thanks! Now how about files I uploaded via FTP? How do I get the URLs for those?

    The FTP client will have the directory path (remote site) to where you are uploading the files. For example it may look like the following:

    /public_html/wp-content/uploads

    You need to replace everything before the “wp-content” with your domain name which gives you URL to that directory:

    [http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-content/uploads]

    Now just add the name of the file to the above and you have the full URL. For example, if my uploaded image name is “image1.jpg” then it should look like the following:

    [http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/image1.jpg]
