Hi there, I bought the Hidden/Private/Secure Downloads Addon to hide my download links, but no matter what I try I cant get it to work.
If I try to embed with the normal shortcode like this [sdm_download id=”9967″ fancy=”0″] the link downloads weird files that look like these: [pasteboard.co/JoKcF6L.png] instead of the correct download file.
If I try to use this kind of embed [sdm_hidden_download id=”9967″ fancy=”0″] I just get an error page that says This page isn’t working
My downloadable files are hosted on Google Drive, could this be a problem?
Any ideas?
Dave
You can’t link to another HTML page which is going to stream the file. You have to directly link to the static file. So our plugin can directly read the file and serve the download to the browser.
If you want to put your file on an external server and then allow downloads to your normal visitors, then you can use the amazon S3 option. Amazon S3 was designed for that so it has better architecture for.
