Hi Epsiloncool,

What I’ve done is switch the ‘Direct Download Link’ and ‘Link Title to File Download’ checkboxes back on as the client is happy for them to open directly now.

They just require the files to be password protected, which we can do individually on each file.

Thanks for all your help. Fingers crossed that’s sorted everything now.

cheers,

Gary

Also, and I don’t know if this is possible. Is there a way to exclude certain PDFs? Say for example any that had the word Manual, for example, training-02387873-manual.pdf

Many thanks,

Gary

Hi

So, I tried your suggestions. In Avada you can switch off the search limiter so it will basically search all pages, posts and custom posts etc. However, when I do this with your FullText Search plugin active it only seems to return PDFs in the search results, but when I deactivate your plugin it shows the custom post types, but obviously no PDFs. Any ideas?

Also your solution for having the protected PDFs going to their attached page…they only seem to go to a 404 error page?

many thanks

Gary

Hi and thanks for getting back to me.

We’re using Avada as the theme.

As you suggested I’ve checked if the search works in Sandbox.

I put the post ID of one of the Custom Post Types in the Index Tester and that returned a load of code from the post, it’s file attachment and it’s excerpt. So that seemed to be working.

Secondly, I used a search term from that specific custom post in the Search Tester and it returned the post at the top of the list with 174% relevance.

So all seems to be working well within the Sandbox area, but not on the frontend of the site.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,

Gary
