I solved the problem. The “download_manager_debug.log” was extremely helpful, and pointed out that WordPress is not installed at “/website.com/”, but at “/home/website/website.com/”.

What you said above regarding “what you see in your FTP file browser may not be the actuall file path” was correct!

Thanks! I’m definitely enjoying this product.

Follow-up … If I place a copy of the file in the public website folder and change the product’s “Digital Product URL” set to “http://www.website.com/filename.zip”, it serves the file correctly.

I just need to know how I can store the files outside of the public area, and which values I should be plugging into the product’s “Digital Product URL”.

I would like to store the actual files outside of the public HTTP area.

* When I log in using FTP, site is as “/website.com/”, one folder in from root.

* WordPress is installed there, and so the content is at “/website.com/wp-content”.

* I would like to store the files at “/private_files/” outside of the public area.

* The actual path to one a file might be “/private_files/filename.zip”.

I have configured eStore to point to a custom download folder “http://www.website.com/download/”, and when I use ‘eStore’ > ‘Admin Functions’ > ‘Generate an Encrypted Download link for a Product’, a valid link appears to have been generated. Clicking that link results in: “Download file cannot be found. Please let us know. Thank you!”.

In the Product settings, under “Digital Content Details”, I have “Downloadable” checked, and “Digital Product URL” set to “/private_files/filename.zip”, which is the absolute path.

Finally, under ‘eStore’ > ‘Settings’ > ‘Addon Settings’ > ‘WP eStore Download Manager Related’, I have “Automatic URL Conversion Preference” set to “(Default) Absolute” and “Download Method” set to “(Default) Method 1, Fopen-8K”.

I am unsure if I should be using the absolute file path in the Product settings, or if I should chose a different value for the “Automatic URL Conversion Method” in ‘Addon Settings’.

Thanks for the quick response! That did the trick!

@admin – I have seen a number of posts that state you can tweak the post processing scripts to run a custom license key generator, but have found no instructions on how to actually do that.

Let’s assume that I have a custom php function that returns a string that is the key (e.g., “XXXX-XXXX-XXXX”): generate_custom_license_key($name, $email, $transactionID);

Internally, the function queries a database for an existing key matching that parameters, and if one is not found, it generates the key. Regardless, it does return the license key as a string.

I would like to display this license key in both the email that gets sent to the buyer, as well as on the “thank you” page.

Where exactly would I call my script to make this happen? Should I be modifying paypal.php? eStore_process_payment_data.php?
