Problem: • Product selected, payment submitted, and email with a download link is sent to purchaser just fine. • However, once purchaser clicks on link within email, the actual URL link to download file (on server) is visible. • I want to HIDE the actual URL that shows up in internet browser’s URL address bar! EDD Hide Download: • I’ve downloaded the plugin and selected “Disable direct access to this download”. However, the actual source link (file URL address on server) still shows. • I’ve also used the DOWNLOADS code to create the product grid/page. QUESTIONS: (1) How can I fix this? (2) Am I to ADD the script indicated (ID specific OR global) to the functions.php file AFTER enabling the EDD HIDE DOWNLOAD plugin and selecting “Disable direct access to this download” for each product? (2) If so, are there any URLs within the script I should edit/customize? FYI… • It would be great to have a video to show capability of ID SPECIFIC script and GLOBAL script. Something to walk a user through proper setup. https://wordpress.org/plugins/edd-hide-download/ NOTE: • File size: Typically 100MB per file • File Type: mp3 • Tried to manually load files in EDD folder that houses HTACCESS file. • Result: URL link still accessible. This plugin isn’t intended for blocking access to any file downloads. “Disable direct access to this download” simply hides the download page so you cannot access it directly in the URL.
