Topic: None of the downloads work in WordPress 2.5

[fish]

I need help ASAP.  I upgraded to 2.5 last night, and realized ALL of the downloads return 404 errors.  The files, links, etc. display fine.  It's just when I click the download link, nothing happens.  I upgraded the Download Manager plugin to version 1.3, still nothing.  So yes, I have read the other threads, I'm using the most updated version of the plugin, please advise.  Thanks in advance.

Just an update.  I tried to manually type in the ?dl_id=1 format and it worked, so there must be something wrong with the permalink function.  Yes, I have permalinks turned on, but I'll try to patch this really quickly by switching to those type URLs for the downloads.  I'll take anything I can get at the moment because I rely heavily on this plugin.  Thanks.

Did you try to regenerate permalink? What is the path now to wp-downloadmanager now?

[fish]

It's /plugins/wp-downloadmanager/ like it was structured in the 1.3 release.

I tried everything...the permalinks just wouldn't work for some reason.  I managed to turn off the rewritten links within download manager itself by editing the plugin.  Everything is working now - so I'd rather not mess with it anymore.  Thanks anyway for trying.

Hellow.

I have the same problem im my site: http://blogcelular.net. The permalinks is not working. I regenerated the permalink structure, but the problem continue.

Can any mind help me? Thanks. Sorry my poor english.

Hi. Until the problem is resolved, I made a small modification in the file downloadmanager.php for the WP not to use nice permalinks. It's force the system to not use clean urls. Just comment on the line and copy the code of the other conditions:

Code: [Select]

function download_file_url($file_id) {
$file_id = intval($file_id);
if(get_option('permalink_structure')) {

               // $download_file_url = get_option('siteurl').'/download/'.$file_id.'/';
              $download_file_url =  get_option('siteurl').'?dl_id='.$file_id;
               
} else {
$download_file_url =  get_option('siteurl').'?dl_id='.$file_id;
}
return $download_file_url;
}
Now, downloading is working, but with no clean urls.

What version of WP and DownloadManager?

[rmb]

The DM was working perfectly with the Wordpress 2.3. The problem started when I upgraded to version 2.5. The version of Download Manager is 1.0.

I think that I have a somewhat related problem. My blog's address differs from the wordpress installation directory (I simply followed the instructions on http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory )
The download manager shows up a expected, however it won't allow me to download the files (I get a 404 error).
This is because the download URL is something like "http://example.com/wordpress/download/1" when it should rather be "http://example.com/download/1". To fix this issue I replaced

Code: [Select]

### Function: Download URL
function download_file_url($file_id) {
$file_id = intval($file_id);
if(get_option('permalink_structure')) {
$download_file_url = get_option('siteurl').'/download/'.$file_id.'/';
} else {
$download_file_url =  get_option('siteurl').'?dl_id='.$file_id;
}

return $download_file_url;
}
with

Code: [Select]

### Function: Download URL
function download_file_url($file_id) {
$file_id = intval($file_id);
if(get_option('permalink_structure')) {
$download_file_url = get_option('home').'/download/'.$file_id.'/';
} else {
$download_file_url =  get_option('home').'?dl_id='.$file_id;
}

return $download_file_url;
}
(note the get_option('siteurl') vs get_option('home') )

I don't know if this is the right way to do it, but maybe someone could have a look at this problem.

siteurl is valid

[GaMerZ]

hmmm nice one there. I will see if it works for the site_url is the same as home. If it works, I will update this.

The wp-donwloadmanager 1.30 beta works fine except that in rich editor, it add a blank button and with cform II plugin the button is not visible cause the cform go over it.

Il works fin in HTML view
