Hi @microtribe

Glad that my plugin is working out for you.

Regarding your question about WooCommerce downlod handling I am going from memory here and it has been a bit since I looked at how their system internally works. If I am getting it wrong, somebody else please chime in here.
For deletions the download file is just removed from the product’s available files database and the download permissions for each order stay intact. So just one database entry is removed. When a user goes to the downloads page then the system looks for all the files the user has access to and just ignores the ones it doesn’t find any more or for which access is expired.
For file changes the system now just changes one entry in the file table with the new file and location and the user’s downloads page then shows the new file since it has the same ID now that the old one had. (Download access is granted by ID – every file entry has a unique ID).
When adding new files one way or another new download permissions have to be created for this file (for every order that has this product/file in it). The download permissions are stored separately of the product orders to accommodate download limitations on a per product and file basis. Each order->file has its own entry in the database. That’s why it takes a lot more processing and database changes.

Hi didoulr

We ran into the same problem that we wanted to grant access for new product files to past orders that expire at the same time as the files from the original orders.

After a lot of searching I finally broke down and developed a plugin that allows us to copy the permissions from one file to another.
We offer it for sale at https://www.makbiz.ca/shop/wordpress-plugins/mak-woocommerce-download-permissions/ for anyone who has the same issues.

All the best

Hi everyone

We ran into a similar problem that we wanted to grant access for new product files to past orders with the additional requirement that they expire at the same time as the files from the original orders.

The plugin at github worked for the files that we didn’t want to expire downloads for.

Once it came to needing to grant access to files with download expiries I finally broke down and developed a plugin that allows us to copy the permissions from one file to another.

We had the problem on a couple sites as well starting with 1.2.2. But not all sites.
Either 1.2.5 fixed it or it worked itself out somehow – maybe with Chrome caching issues … not sure

Resolved in 1.2.5
Thanks

Cool. Can’t believe I missed that.

Sorry about not replying.

“standard WordPress address” – the e-mail address in the General Settings of WordPress.
Single Site.
No other SMTP plugin activated.

Just tried with your newest version and the test e-mail works fully now.

The “Lost Password” e-mail still comes from the e-mail address and Site Title set in the General Settings and not the “From” in your plugin.

Thanks

Same problem here “Unable to connect to backend. HTTP error 500”
Can’t hit save on settings because there is no save in the free version and disabling Formidable didn’t help either.

I think it would be great if a secret password could be added to the URL to de-activate execution of all snippets which can be set by the site owner.
Something like https://example.com/wp-admin/?NoSnippets=MySuperSecretPassword
That would be great to not need to get file access to get back in to the snippet editor to fix a broken snippet and to get a site faster back up.

@slaffik
While I do see the problem I would at least like to see it hidden in the settings screen.
There is a difference between somebody needing to have access to your database (or the technical ability for an admin user to see it through a plugin in WordPress) and anyone who has access in the backend or – even worse – someone just looking over my shoulder while I am in that screen. I am setting this up while I am in a coffee shop for example (using SSL).
I would at least like to see it being a password field instead of being a plain text field just for basic over-the-shoulder security.
Encrypted in the database is again a bit better than plain text since I think more people are able to use a database browser than reading PHP and decrypting the password by hand, but that just depends on how much time you have available. I personally would appreciate a reply-to field more than the password encrypted in the database. But a *password* field in the form even more.
Again – these are incremental increases in security and nothing can make it truly secure since you do need to be able to access the password to send mail.
Apart from that – great plugin ??

Hi Andrew

There are so many low star reviews for plugins which are user errors and the type of “I don’t like it because it doesn’t make coffee.” when it never promised to make coffee that maybe a function should be built that allows you moderators to remove the star rating from a comment and put it in a separate category where the reviews are still there but don’t influence the ratings.

oh … and in the pro version it is line 68…

I got word back from Nadia from Enhance Media Gallery:

To make it work with Enhanced Media Library you need just replace line 65 of responsive-gallery-grid\responsive-gallery-grid.php with this one:
), $attr, ‘gallery’ );

I tried it and it works great. Can you please make that change to your code?

Nevermind…finally figured it out.
