Unique String after the Filename dod not work

Hi there,

Once that setting is activated, a random strings is added as you upload your digital downloadable file. Turning this setting on or off doesn’t affect existing links.

Try to activate the setting, then upload a file. For example, if you have a file called my-file.jpg, after uploading it should be renamed to something like my-file-hqngvk.jpg.

You’ll find more detail in the docs in the section Unique String after the Filename.

Let us know how it goes.

That’s correct.

But it doesn’t mean anyone with the link will be able to download your file though. In the Digital/Downloadable Product Handling docs there are instructions for how to configure your store so that only logged-in users who have purchased the product, can download the file(s).

Give it a try, and if you have more specific questions about this, do let us know.

Glad to have helped. As this thread has been resolved, if you require more help with anything else, please feel free to start another.
