Trying to activate the plugin gives me this error – “The plugin does not have a valid header.”
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks,

Hello,
Great plugin btw, using it for years! It appears that suddenly out of the blue this plugin has started to “corrupt/invalid” all downloads that come directly from it. The zip files are not actually corrupted as nothing has changed about them since before, but now they give you the following error message:
“The Compressed zipped folder C:\X\X\X.zip is invalid”
If I download these files directly from my site using FTP client and go to open them they work fine, but when I use Drain Hole plugin to do it via my website I keep getting this error message.
I have even repaired the archive using WinRAR, tested it on my computer, works fine, reupload it to my site and download it using Drain Hole and the corrupted error message pops up.
Any advice/help would be great! Please!
]]>I’m wondering, since you can use Drain Hole with Amazon S3, can you use it with Dropbox? And how would I set that up? If Dropbox requires authentication, wouldn’t it deny access to the WP user that attempts to download it via Drain Hole? And if I provide the public URL, then of course the files would be publicly available… I’m not an advanced user, but advanced enough to try this out. Let me know if you can provide any advice on this. I’d like a Drain Hole-like solution to secure downloads for particular users on my site. WP has a deficiency in securely serving up downloads or uploads or anything, really.
]]>I have been using drainhole for several years without any changes to my files but for the last few months, the graphs and charts no longer work at all. 3 years of charts all show the same thing, doesn’t matter if view individual file charts or whole drainhole charts.
Two screenshots are attached showing what all the charts now look like.
My drainhole files continue to work and I have hundreds of downloads per day I just can’t view any of the stats anymore, which I would really like as the monthly numbers were important for me to track and I can no longer access them.
I do have a warning on the drainhole admin area screen showing:
Your chosen directory is within a publicly accessible web directory. Drain Hole will not be able to control access to files placed here unless a .htaccess file is placed in the directory. Drain Hole will attempt to do this for you, but may not have permission to do so. If this is the case then you will need to create this file yourself (click to view)
I can’t seen to fix that error message but it has always been there and never affected my charts or file downloads in drainhole before.
Please help as I’d love to have these statistics back working.
Thanks,
Mike
]]>i’m trying to make the feature films i’ve directed available to registered users of my website https://www.hendry.de
but even though i have configured everything correctly, downloads don’t work – there’s only a 0.2K file download that contains this error:
<b>Fatal error</b>: Allowed memory size of 104857600 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1018857473 bytes) in <b>[path to wordpress installation]wp-content/plugins/drain-hole/models/file.php</b> on line <b>603</b><br />( i have replaced the path to my wp folder with [path to wordpress installation] in the code noted above)
the file(s) in question are 900MB…. is this maybe too big for the way drain hole works?
]]>After installing drain hole and uploading files to the download folder, Drain Hole doesn’t find any files when scanning the folder.
]]>Hello, congrats on the wonderful plugin.
I do have a problem, shortcodes wont work on sidebars.
I tweaked the theme to allow shortcodes in sidebar and any shortcode I use works except drain hole.
[drain file 1 show default] <<– this one works in posts but not on sidebar, it just shows the plain code.
Any ideea why?
