    I have read through the “using WordPress Permalinks as Digital Products (APR) document and followed the steps. The digital product was created using the URL of the APR target page (http://dogtrainingvideo.biz/?page_id=93).

    In step 2 it says “CHANGE the URL scheme from “http” to “aprtp”. I changed the name from http://dogtrainingvideo.biz/?page_id=93 to aprtp://dogtrainingvideo.biz/?page_id=93.

    I did a test purchase and received the email sending me the incrypted link; but I receive a 404 Page Not Found Error when I click on the link.

    Did I miss something? Please advise. Your help is greatly appreciated

    If I copy/paste the URL to my browser it works ok.

    Your email client mangled the link up. Look at the text highlighted as a link in the email and compare it to the link that is given in the message.

    the hyperlink in the email was http://dogtrainingvideo.biz/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/download.php?file=2ROa%2FCsEU%2FKVga%2Fv

    The link displayed in the URL after clicking on the link http://dogtrainingvideo.biz/%3Fpage_id%3D93 — 404 Page not found error.

    How do I fix this?

    Update: When using “ugly” permalinks, the query string identifiers were being URL encoded. Code update submitted.

    I seem to be having a similar problem. I switched to aprtp so there are some customers who previously purchased the product and need the link manually mailed to them. When I generate the link within estore and email it to them, the link produces a 404 error. I have estore version 5.9.8.

    EDIT: more information

    Generated link in Admin section is this:

    http://www.awesomepaws.us/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/download.php?file=2VrX%2FikCW%2FaVhq%2FshA%3D%3D

    and resolves to this:

    http://www.awesomepaws.us/%3Fpage_id%3D1287

    Which throws a 404 error.

    As usual, you rock. I love that the solution is 99% I don’t have the latest version. Not sure if it’s important, but I *did* check the version page before posting here, and the version number listed for estore is quite a bit older than what I’ve not got on my site (which seems stable)…

    THANKS!

    The version page does not keep up with the latest, nightly updates. Using the automated update request link will get you the latest and greatest version of everything you purchased…

    the hyperlink in the email was http://madmedsmil.dk/klubben/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/download.php?file=L8NQ9aXy7BIULxZpLg%3D%3D

    But I am redirectet to the frontpage, instead of the download page

    How do I fix this?

    Hi,

    Which version of eStore have you got?

    What sort of file is the downloadable item?

    Have you tested a manually generated encrypted link using the “Admin Functions” facility and if so do you still get an error?

    Additional, but important question, related to use of this particular feature…

    When specifying the digital product URL, did you remember to use “APRTP://” instead of “http://” as the URI scheme?
