works with wp 6.5.3 aswell

yes the editor crash still (PHP 8.1.x, nginix, Mariadb current) when editing a cf7 post or page with block or shortcode in it.

Disabling cf7 plugin you can edit the shortcode without problems.

The crash happens when loading terms (that might be categories or tags) happens when tags are set or empty and terms are set or empty (as leon said), but the workaround of disabling the sidebar tags and categories is sadly not a useful one.

Does not happen when using apache webserver instead of nginix.

it only happens in admin backend, not on frontend. admin backend is only available for me (site admin of that site). Dont have a development site to test, but i disabled all other plugins temporarily and had just cf7 enabled. Still throws the error. I can only edit posts containing the cf7 shortcode or block by disabling cf7 plugin before. Strange!

Another Thing: On my other website (also wp6.1.1 german formal) apache Windows, php 8.0 – even php 8.2.1 setting tested) no error occurs when using same theme, so theme can be excluded as error reason.

If I enable the Folder Protection in the Advanced Settings

It is working for me correct. My default setting is “enabled” and i inherit the setting on the downloadable files. open in Browser must be set to “no”, so pdf files in a protected folder cannot be shown in browser directly but must be downloaded first.

It is regardless if you upload the file via sftp or via DDL uploader. In DDL folder only downloads are allowed.
I mostly use password protection for accessing the file, cos i do not allow wordpress users to sign up.

If assessing the files in the ddl folder via deep link URL presents a 403 error – which is correct.

With my fork you can also give your users one day links to download a file without knowing the password.

All methods work with .htaccess denied for the web users. Access is only allowed by the webserver task.

If you want a file being viewed in Browser directly, upload it via wordpress to the media library (outside the ddl folder) and public can view in file in browser.

thanks. in my test environment running apache 2.4 php 8.0 and wp 5.6 and mariadb 10.5 the revised loco xlate beta is compiling mo’s now. ?? did not notice further errors or php notices yet. keeping eye on it.

german (formal) on stable has 0% untranslated now, but over 300 translations with status ‘waiting’ – waiting for what???

Means who will set the waiting status to translated to let the translation being published to the wordpress/languages/plugins folder?

I found the missing parts of the documentation in the web cache. This will close the gaps:

Delightful Download Plugin Doku
da das Open Source #Delightful #Download Plugin für #Wordpress zwar im Quellcode noch auf #Github zu finden ist, aber dort keine #Dokumentation liegt, habe ich die mir heruntergeladene Doku mal aufbereitet und stelle sie hier zur Verfügung. Die Doku ist in englischer Sprache und erkl?rt #Shortcodes und Attribute. Ich habe die M?glichkeit und Wildcard, eine Beschreibung zum Download einzugeben, erg?nzt, sowie einige Ausgabeformate (box, link) und die Listenausgabe angepasst.

General

Can I manually upload files via FTP/SFTP?

Yes, simply upload them to your server anywhere within the WordPress file structure (usually wp-content/uploads/). Once uploaded, you can enter the file URL into the Add New Download screen.

How do I increase the maximum file upload size?

Please refer to this tutorial on how to increase the maximum file size in WordPress.

How do I add additional allowed file types to the file uploader?

Please refer to this tutorial on how to add additional file types to WordPress.

Usage

How do I output a single download link?

Use the shortcode [ddownload id=”123″]. Replace the ID with the desired download ID, which can be found in the All Downloads screen.

How do I output a single download file size?

Use the shortcode [ddownload_size id=”123″]. Replace the ID with the desired download ID, which can be found in the All Downloads screen.

How do I output the number of times a single file has been downloaded?

Use the shortcode [ddownload_count id=”123″]. Replace the ID with the desired download ID, which can be found in the All Downloads screen.

How do I output a list of download links?

Use the shortcode [ddownload_list].

How do I output the number of times all of my files have been download?

Use the shortcode [ddownload_total_count].

Troubleshooting

Why when I click a download link does the download count not update?

This is usually caused by being logged in as an admin. Downloads by admin users are not automatically logged, however you can change this behaviour in the Settings screen under the Statistics tab.

If using the [ddownload_total_count] shortcode, the count is also cached by default and will only update every few minutes based on the Cache Duration, which is set in the Settings screen under the Advanced tab.

Why do I receive a 403 Forbidden error when I try to access a file directly?

Delightful Downloads automatically blocks direct access to files stored within the wp-content/uploads/delightful-downloads/ directory. To access the file you must use the [ddownload id=”123″] shortcode.

Why do my files download with the incorrect file extension?

This is caused when WordPress does not know the file type your are serving to users. Please refer to this tutorial on how to add additional file types to WordPress.

Why do my remote files open directly in the browser?

When serving remote files it is not possible to set the correct headers which force a file to be downloaded, instead the browser will attempt to open them.

Why do my files show a file size of unknown?

This is caused when the file does not exist at the location specified or is inaccessible due to incorrect permissions.

Solution found:
Testing in a lab environment made it work with all plugins and theme installed. No breaks on save.

Only difference was db version.

So i upgraded Mysql on the hosted live system to version 5.7. Since then it did not happen again.
Thanks for the hint with setting up a lab environment and merry xmas.

• This reply was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by svenbolte. Reason: solved

its a hosted environment – no access to logs. when i turn debugging on, no php error messages appear. After save timeout:

“Etwas lief schief. Deine ?nderung wurde vermutlich nicht gespeichert. Bitte erneut versuchen. Es besteht die M?glichkeit, dass du den Fehler manuell beheben und die Datei per FTP hochladen musst.”

and nothing is saved

WP health check is with no issues.

BTW: having the same issue, when activating access password category plugin instead.

Both of them causing save in plugin/theme editor fail.
