RESSOLVED: So I updated to the latest version of the WP eStore and it appears to be working fine.

Here is how you update: https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wordpress-estore-installation-and-usage-guide-31

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the response – much appreciated.

So how do I go about updating the plugin – WP isn’t prompting me under the Plugins section that there is a new version. Where can I get hold of the latest version if i want to do an update?

Also if I load a fresh copy, whether it be the updated plugin or current one I have…will this not loose all of my settings?

Hope to hear back soon.

Thanks again.

Hi peter,

Thanks for the reply. Yes they appear to be working fine using this setting.

Under the Settings>Adons section of the plugin, where you can select Download Method, it states:(See below) I was wondering if i can use this method, whether it was ok to do so with this warning. I would have thought that where you put your link to the digital content; that this was an absolute URL?

WARNING: Method 7, cURL requires the “Do Not Convert” Automatic URL Conversion Preference, and that ALL product download files be specified as fully qualified URL (not absolute or relative file names). If the cURL library is not installed on your server, Method 7 will not appear in the drop down menu.

Update!

I’ve just tried changing the Download method again to method 2 or 6, as directed from another admin post. This didn’t work for me..so I went through all of the other methods and tied the encrypted link again.

Method 7 worked for me! and the encrypted links appear to be working correctly now?

However there is a WARNING attached to this method below the dropdown box and not sure entirely what this means.

Could someone please let me know this method is OK for me to use, if the links are working fine?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I’ve been told to post my debug issue here. I’ve been through the check list and I’m still getting the error. Cant find file on Server…although its definitely there when I browse to it?

I’ve been through the checklist and tested it out by creating a dummy product and generating a link. Still comes back with: The file (on the server) containing your download couldn’t be opened.

However, if I put the direct path in a browser window, the file is there and downloads fine.

I haven’t change the validation script either. If I put the file on a different server to the WordPress website, then the link works fine?

I have shared the debug file as requested on the link you provided above.

Many thanks for your speedy response.

Update: I have tried uploading my file to various locations in my file structure and its still coming back with the error above.

If i upload the file to different webspace(ie another website)www.website.co.uk/file.pdf the link works fine.

So does that mean it is because my WP site is a domain reference starting with an IP address, rather than www. The site is not live yet.
