Hi,

Thanks for the info. The .m4a file is audio-based and does play on an iphone 10 when the “normal” url is used. It’s only once someone clicks the encrypted email link.

Will keep trying and will let you know how i get on.

Many thanks,

Andy

Thanks for the link wzp

I did add:

<FilesMatch “.(?i:m4a)$”>

ForceType application/octet-stream

Header set Content-Disposition attachment

</FilesMatch>

to first the main wordpress root .htaccess (didnt work) and then to a .htaccess in the downloads folder, but both still didnt make the iphone X download the file, it just tried to play and caused the play button with cross-through.

Many thanks,

Andy

Thank you WZP, really appreciated.

Hi,

Got this working now. For those with GoDaddy basic wordpress hosting, this is probably what caused the issue.

We’ve moved the domain to my alternative hosting with the same files and works perfectly.

Thanks support for your help

Hi,

Having doing a bit of testing with the “example” files in the downloads folder, it seems that zip files work ok. Our plan B if we’re stuck is to zip the files being sold, so this will work for our freelance client.

If you do think of any other workarounds, please do let me know.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Wzp, i’ve moved the folder and updated the product link. Using the admin function to generate a link, it still shows the “this site cannot be reached” error.

I’m trying to look at solutions – can this be rectified using .htaccess?

Many thanks,

Andy

Hi,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I livechatted with GoDaddy support, and as it’s a shared hosting plan, they can’t disable it for just 1 client, it would have to be for all.

Do you have any other workarounds please?

Thanks,

Andy
