 * Hi,
    today I tried the first time download monitor, but I get always an 404 error
   if I try to download a file. Until now I am using Download Manager which succeeds.
   I am using SSL on my site. I copied the Shortcode by clipboard [download id=”
   628″]. I saved the settings-permalink some times – but no success. Please send
   me an e-Mail then I could send you a test-URL
 * Regards Freica

 * Any assistance on how to repair/resolve this issue or should I use “Download 
   Manager” anymore?

 * Hi,
    the last days I get a very good support from Harish and Barry so I could
   solve my problem.
 * The cause for error 404 was a parallel installed and active other plugin named“
   Download Manager”.
    When I deactivated them the error 404 disappeared but further
   I get no download but a navigation to a permalink like [https://<domainname>/download/<id>/](https://<domainname>/download/<id>/)
 * This I could solve by re-saving the permalinks of wordpress.
    The plugin contributor
   suspect the other plugin (Download Manager) “reserved” the download URL when 
   it activated. Re-saving the permalinks allows WordPress to “re-calculate” what
   URLs are used for which functionality.
 * Best regards
    Freica
