Specific Page Download Link Rejects/Redirects
Posted: November 15th, 2010, 6:39 amHi, I am sure there is a simply answer for this and it is probably just my being new to this all.
In addition to the members site I understood it was possible to sell downloadable products without the purchaser needing to become a member. I have understood that in order to do this you must create a sales page, create download page(s) and protect it/them with the WP ID in S2, generate a PayPal button and insert it in the sales page, upload the files to the s2member-files directory, and reference the file on the download page using the following format: http://www.yoursite.com/wordpress/?s2me ... myfile.zip
I've done all of that and when I test it everything goes well up until the downloading the file. When I try to access the file the system redirects me to the Membership Option Page that I had configured, you know the one, the page which is displayed if a non-member tries to access member content. In other words it will only allow me access if I am logged in as a member. But the whole idea of having a specific page with downloadable product without the need to become a member would seem to be negated by this.
I imagine that I have a setting out of place somewhere. I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Paul
