# 404 error again

 * Download links starts to redirect 404 page after some time.
 * I am not sure but I thought it was because of WP Total Cache, I added exclusion
   for specific pages but it did not work.
 * As a workaround when problem arises, I change slug “download” in settings and
   save, then deactivate/activate plugin and it works again.
 * Moreover, my language is Turkish for WordPress. When I change slug “download”
   it automatically converts it to Turkish “indir”. Maybe it is related to problem.
 * Could you please help me to solve this problem?
 * Thanks.

 * I’ve noted something. I use “Hide My WP” plugin for changing default paths for
   security reasons. Right after I save settings for Hide My WP, my downloads start
   to redirect 404 page. After that, I deactivate/activate Download Monitor and 
   everything backs to normal.
