We can no longer use azure blob SAS URL’s. They work for any old download links but for any new links users receive this error on download attempts:
<Error> <Code>AuthenticationFailed</Code> <Message>Server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature. RequestId:b680cfb7-a01e-004d-0f9a-9b3b79000000 Time:2022-07-19T18:06:49.0342648Z</Message> <AuthenticationErrorDetail>Signature fields not well formed.</AuthenticationErrorDetail> </Error>Server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature.
We noticed the the URL received by the client PC has an extra few characters added – any % in string gets becomes %25.
URL as copied from AzureBlob and pasted into DownloadManager “attach file” url section

I purchased Pro version and Directory Add-on. I structured a tree with my Categories and subcategories. I set up few test packages. I created a Repository Page using the shortcode for “Archive Page Default” as given by your demo page.
My purpose is to view on the left side of my Repository Page the collapsing Tree with subcategories and on the right side the returned query with the contents of each selected Subcategory (and its children). This is not working. It is not working on any of your templates except for “Archive Page Flat”.
I have spent several hours trying to find out the cure for this disappointing behaviour. I read several articles on forum. I uninstalled, reinstalled, updated. Same problem remaining. Additional problem: some of the Categories in the Tree refuse to collapse. They collapse only temporarily and then disappear
The issue is becoming frustrating. Please help. URL: http://alkislembessis.me/test-pg-apoth/
I thought I’d posted this already but can’t find it now, so this setting:
Access Settings > When user is not allowed to download > Hide Everythingreally isn’t working for me.
If turned OFF I can see all files have “Access Denied” unless I’ve added user to the category, which is fine, working as intended.
But when I set it to Hide Everything, EVERYTHING disappears, including the files I’m supposed to be able to see. The archive file tree still shows most categories but nothing in them. The categories that the user is supposed to be able to view become hidden. So basically it’s hiding categories it’s supposed to be showing, and showing all other categories that it’s not supposed to, but they’re all empty (the opposite of how it’s supposed to work).
The way I have it set is only users specified for each category can view those files (no group or individual file access level settings specified, it’s category only). If I go directly to those file URL’s with hidden on, they do show properly, so maybe the hide everything feature just isn’t working correctly for the archive tree?
Hi,
I need to have the downloads open in a new browser so that visitors do not leave the site. I see on other resloved threads that this is possible using the shortcode provided on thread no 174252 (/?wpdmdl=[ADD_FILE_ID]” or [wpdm_direct_link id="" target="_blank" label=""])
I have tried the shortcode above with no success and maybe I am putting it in the wrong place. I am using Divi theme and when I put it into the custom CSS I get the following error Expected RBRACKET at line 12, column 19.
I do have open inbrowser ticked and it is opening in the browser, but not in a new tab. The UrL is https://industrialvalve.co.za/
Thank you
JennyHello,
Two features are missing for me in WPDM + Directory Add On :
– the ability to enable deep linking : each selected filter should change the url, and we should be able to pre-populate this url before accessing the archive page, then obtain a filtered display on page load.
– the ability to add 1 or 2 custom taxonomies in the filter sidebar. It is sometimes impossible to use only one category.
Ie : I’m working on a project where WPDM manages only a part of a greater ensemble of contents. I have to rely on a custom taxonomy to group different content types (articles, events, downloadable documents,…) AND on wpdm categories to group downloadable documents types.This could be a paid addon if other customers are interested. I was very surprised and disappointed that WPDM Pro + Directory Add On doesn’t integrate these features that feels to me essentials and obvious.
Is there a chance that this will become a feature in the future ?
(I managed to add custom taxonomy in the archive page filters and to pre-populate filters from url parameters, but it would be a cleaner integration with a native code from yours)
Keep the good work 🙂 Cheers
