In reply to: [Download Shortcode] Shortcode redirects to a bloated (and broken) urlNo need to be unsure – your explanation worked.
Thanks for providing a workaround and hope you manage to track down the problem so you don’t have to explain it to more people.
Much appreciated!

In reply to: [Download Shortcode] Shortcode redirects to a bloated (and broken) urlHey Drew,
that’s what I hoped you were telling me to do, but the instructions seemed to contradict that, unless I’ve misinterpreted them. Anyway, I went ahead and gave it a go and got some weird results.
First off I (in visual) highlighted the url (alone) in the shortcode and clicked the link editor, changing the target url to:
[audio src="http://www.davidridgeway.co.uk/wordpress/download/01-Relaxation.mp3" /]
before realising that actually I don’t have a downloads folder in the wordpress folder :(. I realised that after a few failed attempts. So I redirected to another location where I have the blasted mp3 which is…
[audio src="http://www.davidridgeway.co.uk/01-Relaxation.mp3" /]
When I tried this on the front end, I got a 404, being sent to the following:
http://www.davidridgeway.co.uk/wordpress/wordpress/download/
???
Have I missed something or there something odd going on here?

In reply to: [Download Shortcode] Shortcode redirects to a bloated (and broken) urlaaah, sorry… the second blockquote was meant to contain the following:
<a href="http://davidridgeway.co.uk/wordpress/download/01-Relaxation.mp3">Download Test</a>Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Download Shortcode] Shortcode redirects to a bloated (and broken) urlHi Drew,
I’m sorry, I must be being really stoopid here. But if I, in text editor, replace the shortcode
[download label="Download Test"]http://davidridgeway.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/01-Relaxation.mp3[/download]with the following:
won’t that mean that the mp3 will play rather than download? I’m really keen to have it download, rather than play.
Apologies if I’m grossly misunderstanding you here, and I really appreciated your time and patience!

In reply to: [Download Shortcode] Shortcode redirects to a bloated (and broken) urlThanks Drew, I’ll definitely go for the stop gap as I’d like to hand this over to the owner in the next week.
So, let me see if I’ve understood you absolutely perfectly!…
where I have, in the visual editor, the following:
[download label=”Download Test”]http://davidridgeway.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/01-Relaxation.mp3[/download]
I will instead place:
[download label=”Download Test”]http://davidridgeway.co.uk/wordpress/download/01-Relaxation.mp3[/download]
is that correct?
Thanks, Drew.

In reply to: [Download Shortcode] Shortcode redirects to a bloated (and broken) urlWhile this site is not fully finished, you can view the shortcode here, on a puplic page, as it’s intended:
http://www.davidridgeway.co.uk/wordpress/contact-david-ridgeway.html
so, in the ‘visual’ post editor I entered the following:
[download label=”Download Test”]http://davidridgeway.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/01-Relaxation.mp3[/download]
intending it to say ‘Download Test’ and to force a download of an mp3 housed at http://davidridgeway.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/01-Relaxation.mp3
Thanks for your swift response, Drew, very appreciated!

In reply to: [Download Shortcode] Link not working properlyHi Drew,
Exact Same issue here on a site with pretty permalinks. The page I have the shortcode on is a private page at:
http://www.davidridgeway.co.uk/wordpress/download-shortcode-test-page.html
but when it is clicked it tries to take you to:
[audio src="http://www.davidridgeway.co.uk/wordpress/download/http://http://davidridgeway.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/01-Relaxation.mp3" /]
I have:
flushed permalinks
deactivated all other plugins
Checked that forced-download.php is in wp-content folderAll to no avail. Any help here would be great, your plugin seems to fit an essential need of this site, one I’d like to employ a lot more, but I’m really struggling to get it to work.
Cheers!
