In reply to: [Download Monitor] Download link results in in 404 error.I think I’ve figured out a hack to my problem. my problem being that the file IDs are incorrect when using the Download Monitor plugin. To work around the problem here is what I did:
1.) on my amazon AWS server, there is a .htaccess file being created in the dlm_uploads directory that had an entry to “deny all”, this was blocking direct access to the file, so I removed the “deny all” in the file.
2.) now I am able to access my file directly, which isn’t ideal, but at least users can now download the file.
I know this is hacky, but I wasn’t sure how else to get the plugin to work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

In reply to: [Download Monitor] 404 error when following download linkHey Moneyrgb,
I think I’ve figured out a hack to my problem. my problem being that the file IDs are incorrect when using the Download Monitor plugin. To work around the problem here is what I did:
1.) on my amazon AWS server, there is a .htaccess file being created in the dlm_uploads directory that had an entry to “deny all”, this was blocking direct access to the file, so I removed the “deny all” in the file.
2.) now I am able to access my file directly, which isn’t ideal, but at least users can now download the file.
3.) I’m also using the Email Before Download plugin. the EBD plugin was still showing an obfuscated link for users to download the file and this link was giving the 404 error. so I used CSS to hide the link created by EBD by adding an “Inline Custom Link CSS” in the EBD settings and then adding CSS to my theme to hide the link.
4.) Then, using the EBD setting for “HTML after link” I added my own link directly to the file.
I know this is hacky, but I wasn’t sure how else to get the DM and EBD plugins to work nicely together. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Any suggestions to fix this in the proper way would be greatly appreciated.

In reply to: [Email Before Download] 404 Not Found ErrorI’m having a similar problem. I followed all the steps to setup the Download Monitor, Contact-7 and EBD plugin correctly, but it’s weird because when I upload a file using Download Monitor, the ID #s are off by one. (see image below)
Because of the difference in IDs, I’m getting a 404 error when trying to use the Email Before Download plugin.
Here’s the page where the issue is reproducing:

Email Before Download version: 3.4.2
Contact-7 version: 4.4.2Forum: Plugins
