[Plugin: WordPress Download Monitor] Download Link No Longer Works – Redirects to Homepage

You have to resave your wordpress permalink settings after updating.

By resave I’m assuming you mean go to Setting > Permalinks and click “Save Changes”, right?

I did that (permalink seetings hadn’t changed from Custom ‘%postname%’ but I clicked “Save Changes” anyway and nothing changed.

Still havin’ the same issue ??

Thanks, but any other ideas?

Bumple.

IN that case its permissions issue. FTP to wp-content/plugins/download-monitor and make sure the folder and files are readable.

Sorry for the delayed response. Thanks for trying, but that wasn’t the issue either. (All folders files are readable)

I hadn’t touched anything for a good two weeks on this website’s server/wp-admin page (besides updating the plugins).

Should I maybe downgrade or something? I’m assuming once I upgraded this plugin is when this problem started, but I can’t be certain. Even if that’s the case I can’t be certain that downgrading would solve the problem either…

download.php and download monitor folder to 755 – try that. Im 99% sure its permissions still…this is not the first time this has cropped up.

Hey again.

Thanks again for posting.

Anyway, I thought that was gonna do it, as download.php wasn’t 755. Anyway, I changed it to 755 (the plugin folder itself is already 755) but it’s still not working ??

I was about to go through every file making it 755, but I doubt that’s the safest/most logical thing to do…

Any more ideas?

Thanks again.

Whats the websites url?

It’s https://forthelose.org

Download any of the WordPress themes on this page: https://forthelose.org/ftl-themes (Where it says “Download this theme for free”)

Thanks

Something must be up in your htaccess file because if you browse to https://forthelose.org/wp-content/plugins/ you get a redirect error. Should just see a blank page.

Thanks man, that was it.

Somehow an .htaccess file was created in my /plugins folder. Fixed now.
