The Dropbox addon works on its own (the hidden downloads is not required for dropbox integration). It uses the API to retrieve a file from your Dropbox account and then serve that file to the user.
Vimeo doesn’t allow you to do hidden downloads (similar to YouTube). That’s their business model. You need to host the file on your site if you want to really hide it from other people discovering it.
Most people use Amazon s3 or dropbox to host their video files (if they are going to offer private videos) that needs to be protected. The download monitor has an integration with S3 also.
Yes, you can use Absolute path of the download when using the hidden downloads addon. That will work fine too.
Looks like you were using a relative URL value in the download URL field (that is not correct). You need to use the FULL URL of the download item in our plugin’s configuration.
Just to confirm, is the file uploaded to your website or are you using a file from an external server/site?
I am not sure about this. Does the theme (Divi) support standard WordPress shortcode in the area where you are trying to use the shortcode?
Our plugin’s shortcode uses a standard shortcode implementation (it doesn’t do anything special).
English language file will need to be created by you based on your localization.
You can only translate the “download now” text and then generate the translation file and use it.
Below are the various options to customize the “Download Now” button text of a download:
1) You can edit the download item in question and specify a custom button text in the following field:
Download Button Text2) Use the button_text=”My Custom Button Text” parameter in the download shortcode. You can see an example of it in the following documentation:
3) You can edit the language file of the plugin and update the “Download Now” text there to say something else. So in your WP install, it will use that text via the language file.
Not at the moment. When you say unregistered users, do you mean users who are logged into the site as a WP User?
Yes, it uses WordPress’s Custom Post Type.
You can see the custom post type it is registering in the following file of the plugin:
sdm-post-type-and-taxonomy.php
Normally if something is easy to do, I will give my answer. In this case, I don’t know where to start to be honest. I would have to site down and spend a few hours to figure out a specific solution for this.
I can add an option for the following in the plugin. Let me know if that will help:
After a user logs into the site, he is redirected back to the page where he came from so he can continue with the download process.
