    Hi,

    When customers receive their “completed order” email and are provided with the link to download their product, the browser defaults to opening the PDF in a new tab. How can i change it so the customer is prompted to download the file to their local machine instead?

    Problem is every time customers want to view the file they click the link in the email again and it exceeds their download limit for the product.

    Can i change something in the PHP to make this happen?

    Thanks

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi there,

    The File Download Method for downloadable products can be set from WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Downloadable Products.

    The Force Downloads option allows you to force file download using PHP without the need of changing any PHP code. More information on handling downloadable products can be found here.

    If you want to change the download limit, this can be done on a product level from the product’s edit page under the ‘General’ tab. Here you have more information on Downloadable products.

    I hope it helps!

    Best,
