Still an issue after making a memory limit change. We will be using this plugin on about 20 subsites for all our downloads. We need this to work like it does for other companies.

The log refers to:

“[WPE Monitoring] Stopwatch php.pod-3147.function.session_start.duration exceeded 200ms.”

Here’s the code added to our wp-config.php file on wrc install to increase PHP memory limit:
define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘512M’ );
define( ‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘512M’ );

I’m checking with our provider to be sure that on a multisite install that the memory increase affects subsites as well.

I have the current view shown in the previous post and have migrated already. If this is a new view and not just a glitch, I notice there are some things that have changed. The main concern I have is that I do not have the ability to do wpdm_hotlinkid=# anymore and my links now show a box around them with two titles and file size. I can change to one title but I do not want the box or file size. Is there a simple way to fix this? It also does not show my links centered and therefore makes my page look distorted. The ID number for my downloads kept changing as well during the updates so now I have very high numbered ID’s (something like 650-850) instead of my 1-200. Is there a way to fix this or renumber them myself? I have found some information online about direct links but I am looking for something easy and quick to do to fix these issues as the previous version did all these without much effort.

The file you indicated is the one file that I re-setup manually, by uploading it on it’s own, and not using the batch uploader. Please try any of the other available downloads from the following link, as they were uploaded via the batch uploader.

For example
Acetic Acid 56 – Download
Agita – Download
Antifreeze – Download
Apprehend – Download
Armor – Download
Auto Foam Wash – Download

None of these work. When you click one of the download link, a txt file downloads and says that a the file is not found.

Please let me know how to correct this.

yes it works. It would have been good to know this 10 posts ago. Why not just document this method to workaround shared hosting php timeout causing corrupt files on downloads. You must have many customers with this exact situation.

For anyone else reading this. I will document it here.

Upload file to media library
if the file is too large to upload with wordpress 2Mb default upload limit then do the following.

ftp to some folder under wp-content

add plugging called “add from server” this plugin allows you to add to media library a file already on the server file system and browse to it. This way you can ftp the big file and simple add to library. NOTE: this plugin will copy your file on the OS disk from your directory to wp-content/uploads (media library default folder). make your life easier and put ftp files in uploads and then add to server to avoid the file copy and filling your disk

now “edit file” and copy the file url of your download

now goto download manager pluggin add package and add file using the url option, configure package they way you want now and publish

if you use the email lock option the download url still points to wpdm plugin url so that tracking still works but the code now issues a redirect to the url so the file media library url is used serve the file to the browser. why this makes a difference?

on shared hosting like goddaddy or other, you have no control over php.ini settings. you can google phpinfo.php and getini.php (will give you steps and code to see what settings you php site are using, but changing your php.ini won’t have an effect specifically max_execution_timeout = value to determine how long a php file is allowed to execute in seconds. defaults to 30 seconds which is not long enough to stream 100MB+ size files and times out and corrupts the download. Tried many options to change time out and godaddy confirmed it can not be changed by shared hosting (i.e. cheap hosting). save yourself some time and don’t bother with this as the url method works here is why.

using the WP media library url works since apache is serving the file to the browser not PHP code which has 30 second download limit. The WPDM url method preserves email url’s and direct webpage downloads for big files, you can use smaller files without this method and we found this worked well as long as download was <30 seconds.
