The problem seems to be the finfo_close($finfo) command in line 991 of /wp-content/plugins/download-manager/src/__/FileSystem.php
I have commented it and it worked normally

Thanks for the reply!

Just a suggestion — since this issue caused a fatal error and was fixed by removing a single line in a plugin file, it might be worth reviewing this in the plugin code so that other users don’t run into the same problem.

Would be great to see it fixed in a future update.

Thanks again!

Are you using the latest version of Download Manager? If yes, kindly use this hook add_filter("wpdm_is_valid_mime_type", '__return_true'); in your theme’s function.php file and let me know if the problem persists.

I get this error, and your filter didn’t help, do you have any other ideas?

In case it helps in troublshooting, if I remove this line from the .htaccess file:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php83___lsphp .php .php8 .phtml
The Download Manager works fine. But this line is generated automatically by cPanel so it gets added back, see below how it looks in the .htaccess:

# php — BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# Set the “ea-php83” package as the default “PHP” programming language.
<IfModule mime_module>
AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php83___lsphp .php .php8 .phtml
</IfModule>
# php — END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

Well you replied to me on another support entry. I guess this is not a fix then. Is the syntax correct? All my other functions use single quotes not double. I am not knowledgeable in php.
