The current rate limit is set to a maximum of 5 submissions every 60 seconds. If this limit is exceeded, the following message will be displayed: ‘Too many requests. Please try again later.’. A user will not be blocked permanently. * Kind regards, Team Download After Email * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Download After Email - Subscribe & Download Form Plugin] link not working any more and showing CSS as text](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/link-not-working-any-more-and-showing-css-as-text/) * Plugin Author [mkscripts](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkscripts/) * (@mkscripts) * [1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/link-not-working-any-more-and-showing-css-as-text/#post-18898445) * Hi, * We cannot find your download links (anymore).

We are aware of the recent report regarding the potential for downloading arbitrary files. According to Patchstack, this issue is considered low priority and does not pose a significant security threat in real-world scenarios. * The reason for this is twofold: 1. The vulnerability relies on an attacker being able to guess exact filenames ( uploads folder), which is highly unlikely in most environments. 2. Our plugin uses robust rate limiting, making automated or brute-force attacks impractical. * It is also important to note that the reported issue only affects files within the WordPress uploads directory (including dae-uploads and other subfolders). There is no risk of accessing files outside of uploads, such as core WordPress files or sensitive server files. * We take security seriously and are actively working on a security patch that will add strict validation to ensure that only files intentionally published for download can actually be accessed. We expect to release this update next week. * Thank you for your vigilance and for helping us keep the plugin secure for everyone. * Kind regards, Team Download After Email * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Download After Email - Subscribe & Download Form Plugin] Problems on icc-portugal.com “Set your domain here”](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-on-icc-portugal-com-set-your-domain-here/) * Plugin Author [mkscripts](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkscripts/) * (@mkscripts) * [3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-on-icc-portugal-com-set-your-domain-here/#post-18844405) * Hi, * Thank you for your message.

If this function no longer returns a correct URL, another plugin may have modified its behavior. Another possibility is that another plugin is modifying the email content or the URLs within it. To determine which plugin is causing this issue, you could disable each plugin one by one and see if the issue has been resolved. * Kind regards, Team Download After Email * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Download After Email - Subscribe & Download Form Plugin] Errors activating Download After Email Plus on PHP 8.2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-activating-download-after-email-plus-on-php-8-2/) * Plugin Author [mkscripts](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkscripts/) * (@mkscripts) * [9 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-activating-download-after-email-plus-on-php-8-2/#post-18618323) * Hi Órla, * Thanks for noticing.

The data recorded from the optional checkbox is the time at which it was first checked( and submitted). This is the moment a visitor opts in. Any subsequent optional checkbox values are not relevant to record for determining the opt-in time. Therefore the opt-in time can be found in the “Opt-in Time” column in the subscribers table. * If you want to check whether the optional checkbox has been checked for each form submit, you can see this in the notification email (if enabled). * Kind regards, Team Download After Email * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Download After Email - Subscribe & Download Form Plugin] “File could not be opened” after updating to 2.1.7](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/file-could-not-be-opened-after-updating-to-2-1-7/) * Plugin Author [mkscripts](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkscripts/) * (@mkscripts) * [10 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/file-could-not-be-opened-after-updating-to-2-1-7/#post-18574841) * Thanks for noticing.

It can indeed be cumbersome to delete your download files afterwards via the media library. To automatically remove the corresponding download file from the media library when you normally remove a download, you can use the following PHP code: * ```wp-block-code add_action( 'before_delete_post', 'delete_dae_attachment', 10, 2 );function delete_dae_attachment( $post_id, $post ) { if ( 'dae_download' != $post->post_type ) { return; } // If a post with post_type dae_download is permanently deleted, permanently delete attachment as well $dae_settings = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'dae_settings', true ); if ( ! empty( $dae_settings['file_id'] ) ) { $attachment_id = (int) $dae_settings['file_id']; wp_delete_attachment( $attachment_id, true ); }} ``` * Although this is a tested and working code, it is always advisable to test the code first before using it on a live site. * We will think about an option to integrate this functionality in the future. * Kind regards, Team Download After Email Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 352 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkscripts/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkscripts/replies/page/3/?output_format=md)… [22](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkscripts/replies/page/22/?output_format=md) [23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkscripts/replies/page/23/?output_format=md) [24](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkscripts/replies/page/24/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkscripts/replies/page/2/?output_format=md)
