    Please help me to solve a problem: when I “purchase” a downloadable file in my shop as a customer I get an e-mail with a link button. I download a file via this button, but I can’t open it, because it is in “view” format. It is actually a video file (placed on my google disk). The file on the disk is ok, but the downloaded file is in “view” format, which can’t be opened.
    Can You help?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @dashabest,

    WooCommerce allows for the same file extensions defined by WordPress. You can see the full list via WordPress Codex: Uploading Files.

    Just to clarify, what extension does your downloadable video file have? Also, can you provide a sample URL for us so we can check if we’re able to download and open the file?

    Thanks.

    And one more question: Grant access to downloadable products after payment
    Enable this option to grant access to downloads when orders are “processing”, rather than “completed” – should I enable this option for my virtual downloadable files or not?

    Dear Sirs!

    We have X-Accel-Redirect/X-Sendfile download method on our website. But it still doesn’t work ok.
    I tried to replace the script according to the information on your website – https://ideas .woocommerce.com/forums/133476-woocommerce/suggestions/40731010-litespeed-support-for-x-accel-redirect-x-sendfile but unfortunately no such file was found.
    Please, clarify where we can make changes.

    Hey @dashabest,

    Granting access to downloadable files immediately after payment is totally up to you. Most customers will expect that but you can do whatever works best for your business.

    I took a look at the code from the ideas board. I believe it’s been modified. Lots of the text is in italics and I noticed that apache_get_modules had been changed to apachegetmodules. It looks like the snippet they posted has been rendered as if it was markdown.

    That’s not something that I know how to fix for you. You could hire a developer to get that working. I can’t promise that code snippet will work or not even if it can be converted back to plain text.

    If you need a freelance developer to help you out, there are ones at Codeable who would be happy to help.
