@auctollo

now all works well! thanks a lot!

There is a saying: don’t touch what works well.

The developer decided to introduce some new functionality, without which it was already fine – we have been using the plugin for many years.

But the desire to redo everything ruined what worked perfectly.

It is sad.

@auctollo lol youre new 4.1.17 version still broken — 404 errors!!!

FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!

Auctollo

When will you release a fix?? How long do we have to endure this bug???

You are not the only one, we have all rolled back to 4.1.13, and we are waiting for a new version from the author, which he has not released for a long time, at a time when a huge number of his users are faced with a problem. This greatly increases the negativity towards the developer and reduces his reputation…

We can only hope that the developer will pay attention to this mass problem and quickly release a fix

just roll back to 4.1.13 version.

new version broken

yep! <3

in general, you completely failed with the new version of the plugin that you even removed it from the WordPress repository. rolled back to 4.5.99, which is what I wish everyone else

don’t try programming anymore, you’re failing

It doesn’t matter anymore, I found the reason: the fact is that such a bug occurred if the code [download id=”***”] in the text of the post is fused to the bottom or top line of the text. If you add a line spacing, then everything becomes in order.

The fact of the matter is that the template has a single tag A, which does not break in any way, I already checked it. Here is the code:

<?php
/**
 * Default output for a download via the [download] shortcode
 */

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
	exit;
} // Exit if accessed directly

/** @var DLM_Download $dlm_download */
?>
<a class="download-link" title="<?php if ( $dlm_download->get_version()->has_version_number() ) {
	printf( __( 'Version %s', 'download-monitor' ), $dlm_download->get_version()->get_version_number() );
} ?>" href="<?php $dlm_download->the_download_link(); ?>" rel="nofollow">
	<center style="border: 4px double #d40606a6; !important; background: #000000;  padding: 0.3em; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; text-transform: uppercase;"><p style=" border-bottom-width: 3px;border-bottom-style: dotted;border-bottom-color: #666666;font-family: Open Sans Condensed, Tahoma, Arial;font-size: 25px;margin-top: -7px;"><?php $dlm_download->the_title(); ?></p>
	<?php printf( _n( '<b>Скачать</b> <small style=" color: #969696; font-size: 12px; ">[загрузок: 1]</small>', '<b>Скачать</b> <small style=" color: #969696;    font-size: 12px; ">[загрузок: %d]</small>', $dlm_download->get_download_count(), 'download-monitor' ), $dlm_download->get_download_count() ) ?></center>
</a>

It is curious that such a bug does not always occur, for example, there is no such bug on a page with 4 files, here: https://doomguy.ru/gzdoom-addons.html

I can’t figure out where I went wrong.

By the way, there is a small bug in the statistics – it does not show the most popular file https://doomguy.ru/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/bug1.jpg

In general, everything became clear to me.

Now the plugin FIRST downloads files to a temporary folder, and only THEN offers to save them to the user.

If the file weighs 300-400 mb, and if the Internet is not very fast, then the browser just becomes dull and nothing happens for a long time.

This is a very wrong approach, because the user needs to see that the download process is in progress, and not working somewhere in the background.

At the same time, from admin page /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=dlm_download, the download of files proceeds as before: first, the browser offers to save the file, and only then does the download begin.

You need to do something about it, it’s very annoying.

You changed the principle of downloading, but it ruined everything. Even if the download starts, after a few seconds, some kind of internal link or something like that is apparently generated. Everything got very, very bad.

Especially the problem with downloading files is relevant through a smartphone, I checked the Chrome browser on android, some of the files are downloaded, some are not. Or after numerous attempts to click on the download link.
