 * Some (but not all) users recently got an error when they tried to click a DLM
   link:
 * {“success”:false,”data”:{“error”:”missing_nonce”}}
 * This hasn’t happened previously, and I’m wondering if it might be related to 
   the update from a few days ago?

 * Hello [@piercingdigital](https://wordpress.org/support/users/piercingdigital/),
   
   Is it possible to give us a page containing a test download link so we can have
   a look?Warmly,Razvan

 * The error had been from this link:
 * [https://publichealthcollaborative.org/download/11658/?tmstv=1675350636](https://publichealthcollaborative.org/download/11658/?tmstv=1675350636)
 * I cleared site cache and it appears to be working now, but I removed the link
   from [the page it had been on](https://publichealthcollaborative.org/resources/plain-language-for-public-health/)
   since I was concerned the error might appear again.
 * For testing purposes, I’ve added it onto this page: [https://publichealthcollaborative.org/test-for-dlm/](https://publichealthcollaborative.org/test-for-dlm/)

   entered in the Download?

 * Are you having any redirects on those links? Clicking the download link sends
   me to [https://publichealthcollaborative.org/file?id=11658](https://publichealthcollaborative.org/file?id=11658)
   which is not a Download Monitor link.
   Warmly,Razvan

 * Yes, sorry, I should have added that we have done some add on work to your plugin.
 * Have you heard of any other reports of nonce errors recently?

 * Hey [@piercingdigital](https://wordpress.org/support/users/piercingdigital/) ,
   
   Don’t know exactly what you did but seems that the nonce that should be attached
   to the download endpoint is not, thus giving the missing nonce error. You could
   add the nonce created [here](https://github.com/WPChill/download-monitor/blob/master/src/DLM.php#L372)
   to your add on work and see if that solves your issues.We have not received other
   reports with your issue, the missing nonce.Warmly,Razvan
