That’s correct, but we have a condition in our htaccess file to prevent the image from being blocked.
Is the image not showing up properly in the directory?
In my .htaccess file there were only the following rules:
“
Options -Indexes
deny from all
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
“
I don’t know about how come I got to have these rules instead of the right ones.
Since this was a problem specific to my installation I’ll close this topic. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
In Downloads > Settings > Misc, change your Download Method to “Forced”.
Does that resolve it?
Hi, I found out how come I was having those rules in my .htaccess file.
When you install the plugin and it doesn’t manage to create the .htaccess file, it outputs a notice in the admin with the message:
If this warning continues to appear, create a file called ".htaccess" in the <strong>/var/www/website.com/wp-content/uploads/edd</strong> directory, and copy the following into it:
The .htaccess rules are output correctly, but the <FilesMatch> directive is considered an HTML tag and is simply not shown.
The rules that I had in the .htaccess file two months ago were there because I copied them by hand from the admin notice and put them in there.
The solution is simple: just pass the edd_get_upload_dir() through an htmlentities before outputing the admin notice.
Sorry, I meant: pass the edd_get_htaccess_rules() through an htmlentities before outputing the admin notice.
