Link expiration

    I’m trying to take full advantage of link expiration, and it mostly works well, however I’ve found that if I strip the query string off the end of the link, the download is permitted. This allows users a permanent and untracked link, which is contrary to my use case.

    I haven’t had time to dig into this in depth, but one potential quick fix I found is to remove if(isset($_GET['uid'])) on line 118 of class-email-before-download-public.php. However, I don’t offer any downloads through any other method than via email download – perhaps if I did that would break things. It would be great to see this functionality provided without modifying files on disk.

    Anyway, great plugin, and I’m excited to see further development!

    The problem with this solution is that it takes away functionality of Download Monitor. The plugin hooks into DM and checks for the uid, but incase a user is using DM separate from EBD, I can’t disable DM completely. removing the uid check would certainly work in your case, and an option to disable DM default download may be something I can add in a future release.
