Maybe hardcode the name like the following (so it always appends .zip to the file name).

$file_name = basename($file_path);
$file_name = $file_name . '.zip';

Does that make any difference?

Regarding the 502 error, you need to look at the server’s error log to see what exactly is triggering that. The error log will have clue as to what specific function call is failing on this site.

Lets try a little test with some PHP code tweaks to see if it works. We can then add a filter in the addon so it can be customized without modifying the core addon’s code in the future.

1) Open the following file of this addon:

sdm-hidden-downloads/sdm-hd-download-handler.php

2) Find the following line of code in that file:

$file_name = basename($file_path);

3) Replace it with something like the following:

$file_name = basename($file_path);

$file_parts = pathinfo($file_path);
if (empty($file_parts['extension'])){
    //Missing extension. Manually force it to have .zip extension
    $file_name = $file_name . '.zip';
}

Please note that I have written this code from the top of my head. It hasn’t been tested. So make sure to change this code via FTP so you can revert the changes (by replacing with the original file) easily if something goes wrong.

It tries to read the filename by using the PHP basename() function. So it needs a direct link to the static file (not to another script which will manage the file):
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.basename.php

It is likely that function is failing to read the file name. The setup you explained is not a standard one for handling download via PHP system so I am not 100% sure if it will work but it is worth trying the different download method settings offered in the hidden downloads addon. Go to the “Hidden Download” menu in your WP Admin interface. Then try the different URL conversion and download method options to see if it can handle the download better.

At least the CSS is showing there now (in the HTML code) so the caching issue is gone. Now, the CSS you entered has an error which needs to be corrected.

You have the “!important” tag AFTER the semi-colon which is wrong. The correct syntax is the following. So update your CSS code with the following.

.sdm_sf_tpl_0_form {
background-color: #b2b2b2 !important;
border-color: #b2b2b2 !important;
}

Do you have any offset count set for that download? Edit that download item and check the offset count value to see if you have a number entered in there (which will offset the total count).

[admin]

Looks like you are using W3 Cache plugin. So definitely try to empty the cache first then check it again.

[admin]

Try the following CSS tweak:

.sdm_sf_tpl_0_form {
background-color: #b2b2b2;
border-color: #b2b2b2;
}

You can add this custom CSS code in the following interface of your site:

Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS

[admin]

What color do you want to change it to? I can then give you the necessary CSS tweaks for it.

[admin]

Did you do any customization (like added some custom code to the plugin)? That custom code may have gotten deleted? The squeeze form addon never did anything with the following shortcode:

[sdm_show_dl_from_category category_slug=”test” fancy=”2″]

[admin]

That is weird. Can you please deactivate and delete the plugin and then re-download and activate it?

You won’t lose any data that you have saved within this plugin. So it is safe to delete and re-add the plugin.

[admin]

The squeeze form and the other shortcode are TWO complete different things. The purchase is different for those two different features.

The squeeze form ONLY does the squeeze form with the shortcode given here:

Squeeze Form Addon for Simple Download Monitor

The squeeze form won’t do anything other than what is explained in the above page. So the squeeze form shortcodes will need to be put on that page.

The category shortcode you are referencing is a different shortcode for download now buttons only (not squeeze form). So I don’t think it will do what you are after maybe.

[admin]

Both of them are showing an output to me (both shortcodes). So it looks okay to me. You will need to specify a thumbnail image for the download item if you want the fancy 2 to show the item nicely (as shown in our example).

[admin]

Thank you. The plugin looks to be upto date so that is good.

I am not seeing any squeeze form shortcode on that page. I am only seeing the normal download now button shortcode there.

Which shortcode from the following page are you using?

Squeeze Form Addon for Simple Download Monitor

Copy and paste the shortcode that you are using so I can inspect the shortcode you are using.

[admin]

Did you update the main plugin or just the squeeze form? Can you please make sure that both the main plugin and the squeeze form addon is updated. Then empty your cache.

Do you get any particular error? If you do, what is the error message?

[admin]

Do you have some entries selected from the list when you are clicking the bulk action operation?

Check a few entries then click on the bulk operation to see if that works better.
