Please **deactivate** and **reactivate** the plugin. It seems like the page that handles the quick download button might have been deleted. * Reactivating the plugin will **re-create the pag**e, the page ‘Quick Download Button’. Please let me know if this will not solve the issue and I will look more into this for you. * Thank you. - This reply was modified 3 years, 1 month ago by [Abidemi Kusimo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kusimo/). * Thread Starter [sub2assassin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sub2assassin/) * (@sub2assassin) * [3 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/external-link-doesnt-work/#post-16677140) * [@kusimo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kusimo/) it seems i too had the same problem…the page gor deleted and when i reactivated it, now it does work perfectly. * One question i have is…is the page private or I’ll have to no index it manually. * Plugin Author [Abidemi Kusimo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kusimo/) * (@kusimo) * [3 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/external-link-doesnt-work/#post-16677286) * [@sub2assassin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sub2assassin/), thank you for asking this question. To prevent this page from being indexed by search engines, you need to do it manually. Additionally, you can change the name of this page to anything you want once the plugin is activated. * If you experience any problems after changing the page name, simply deactivate the plugin and then activate it again. * In future updates, I will include a feature that will automatically add a no- index to this page. * [skpatil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skpatil/) * (@skpatil) * [3 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/external-link-doesnt-work/#post-16677431) * [@kusimo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kusimo/) hey bro link not open after D&A after click download button redirect home page with url example * [https://lifestatus.in/?_wpnonce=9de36719ac&external_link=](https://lifestatus.in/?_wpnonce=9de36719ac&external_link=)** [https://rb.gy/41d26](https://rb.gy/41d26)** * or redirect link👇 * _[https://lifestatus.in/?\_wpnonce=9de36719ac&external\_link=](https://lifestatus.in/?_wpnonce=9de36719ac&external_link=)_ * **[https://rb.gy/41d26](https://rb.gy/41d26)** * please solve fast.

To fix it, please follow these steps: 1. Deactivate the plugin. 2. Reactivate the plugin. 3. Check if the page “quick download button” exists on your site by typing in your site URL and adding “**/quick-download-button**” to the end of it. For example: [https://lifestatus.in/quick-download-button](https://lifestatus.in/quick-download-button) 4. If the page does not exist and you get redirected to your homepage or a 404 page, it means that the page has been deleted. In this case, deactivating and reactivating the plugin will recreate the page. 5. Let me know if this solution works for you. If not, I’ll investigate further. * Please let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance. * Plugin Author [Abidemi Kusimo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kusimo/) * (@kusimo) * [3 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/external-link-doesnt-work/#post-16677459) * Hello [@sub2assassin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sub2assassin/), thank you. What option (feature) would you like to be added to the timer?
