Thanks again, I will pass that on to the hosting company.

Can you let me know what release of the plugin will include these fixes — I don’t want to upgrade too soon.

I am on 5.2.4 currently and concerned that if I upgrade to current latest (5.2.6) it will overwrite your changes…!

Hi thanks a million,

I can confirm that the Login page now returns an error message as I would expect when

However the login modal/popup that appears when you click the login button from a package listing page still hangs.

E.g. https://dicefiles.wpengine.com/files-for-download/

Can you fix that too?

Best wishes,
Ben

No this problem is a separate issue. The problem here is the when a user gets their username or password wrong the error message does not get displayed to the user, the spinner just spins forever. The underlying issue appears to be a 403 returned from the server. Please can you read the previous notes especially around server cache exclusions.

Just spent a long time on a support chat with the Server hosts (WP-ENGINE) they are unable to resolve anything from their side of things.

They asked the question though:

Ask about cache exclusions that might need to be entered and then we can add those if necessary

Are there any cache exclusions or other settings that may resolve the issue?

Please can you update me on this issue – can you replicate? I have included more information as a screen grab to this ticket from the network requests list.

Hi there,
Here is the link to the screen grab of my settings:

Solved this myself by copying the code you use in wpdm-functions.php function wpdm_logout_url so my finalised code for my custom function is:

/*  ADD NONCE TO LOGOUT LINK  */

function change_menu($items){
  foreach($items as $item){
    if( $item->title == "Logout"){
         $item->url = $item->url . "=" . wp_create_nonce(NONCE_KEY);
    }
  }
  return $items;
	
}
add_filter('wp_nav_menu_objects', 'change_menu');

Where the change was from

       $item->url = $item->url . "=" . wp_create_nonce( 'login' );

TO

         $item->url = $item->url . "=" . wp_create_nonce(NONCE_KEY);

For anyone interested in having TWO wordpress menus – one for logged in ( named logged-in ) and one for logged out ( named logged-out ) that switch when you are logged in or not PLUS having a Logout Link that behaves just like the WPDM logout links AND the ability to display login text messages to people not logged in, the three adds to your child theme functions.php is as follows:

/*  LOGGED IN / LOGGED OUT MENU      */

function my_wp_nav_menu_args( $args = '' ) {
 
if( is_user_logged_in() ) { 
    $args['menu'] = 'logged-in';
} else { 
    $args['menu'] = 'logged-out';
} 
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_args', 'my_wp_nav_menu_args' );

/*  ADD NONCE TO LOGOUT LINK  */

function change_menu($items){
  foreach($items as $item){
    if( $item->title == "Logout"){
         $item->url = $item->url . "=" . wp_create_nonce(NONCE_KEY);
    }
  }
  return $items;
	
}
add_filter('wp_nav_menu_objects', 'change_menu');

/*  LOGGED OUT MESSAGE TO REGISTER OR LOGIN    */

add_shortcode( 'visitor', 'visitor_check_shortcode' );

function visitor_check_shortcode( $atts, $content = null ) {
	 if ( ( !is_user_logged_in() && !is_null( $content ) ) || is_feed() )
		return $content;
	return '';
}

To use the visitor only text shortcode in a page or widget just do E.G.:

[visitor]
<div class=”card card-body bg-light”>
You must register or login
to download files from this site.</div>
[/visitor]

Thanks,
Ben
