However since a couple of weeks back the link does not work. All i can think of is that i reuploaded the zip files to the prodfiles folder. Nothing else changed. When i hover the mouse over the link it displays the path at the bottom of Google Chrome screen. For what it is worth i cleared the history cache. BTW i just upgraded to the the latest version 7.1. However i did not upgrade the digital downloads files because the file date had not changed. What do you suggest? Abby

So it seems that the system is working ok and there is nothing to fix there, and if there is a particular product where the download isn't available it is likely to be the path to the zip file.

Posted - 01/10/2021 : 19:48:39 Hi Vince, Thanks but no matter which product i try to download - nothing happens. What is also intriguing is that a client had the same problem. So i just tried Firefox and it works fine. Sigh. So what do i need to do to get Chrome working properly?

I had to right-click 'save link as' or right-click 'open link in new tab' to get the download. It works fine in Firefox. I did check through the settings I have in Chrome but nothing seemed to be amiss there. The problem is if it is a browser issue there's not a great deal you can do about it apart from inform your customers before they purchase a download. Let's see what Vince says..... * Database Migrations and Conversions* * ASP to PHP Cart Conversions* *Contact Us* *Buy The PHP Capture Card Plugin* Rate Our Services/View Our Feedback

The Digital Downloads script wasn't using the HTTPS location if it was available, and now Chrome is blocking those non-HTTPS links if from an HTTPS page. Anyway, I've just added a fix in the digi downloads plugin so if you get a new copy of the updater you should get an new copy of the digital downloads and can you copy those to your site.

Vince Administrator 42470 Posts	Posted - 01/12/2021 : 03:49:47 Hi John No . . . when you request the updater you should get the digital downloads files separately and you just need to update these files.
