The “Download after email” plugin on my WordPress site is blocking an image file I’ve set up for delivery. Everything appears correct in the plugin settings—images are apparently allowed—yet when the autoresponder link is clicked the visitor sees the message “file not allowed for download.” I need someone who knows this plugin inside out (or at least understands WordPress file-permission logic and MIME-type handling) to locate the cause and remove the block. A clean, code-level or configuration-level solution is fine as long as it remains update-safe. Acceptance: once the visitor submits their email, the intended image downloads instantly from the e-mail link without triggering the current error and without compromising overall site security or the plugin’s statistics tracking.

Hi there, I can see the hidden issue here: the plugin is likely passing the image through a file-type or permission check that disagrees with WordPress’s media rules. I’ve worked on WordPress plugin fixes, MIME handling, and update-safe customization, so I can trace the exact block and keep the download flow working without weakening security or breaking stats tracking. I’ll inspect the plugin’s allowlist, the delivery endpoint, and the file path/permission logic, then apply the smallest safe fix in code or configuration. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. Could you share the plugin name/version and whether the image is uploaded through the WordPress Media Library or an external path? Could you share the plugin name/version and whether the image is uploaded through the WordPress Media Library or an external path? What file type is the image, and does the same link fail for all users or only certain browsers? Best regards, Asad Looking forward to your reply so we can finalize the exact plan.

Hello, I can diagnose and resolve the "file not allowed for download" issue with your WordPress **Download after Email** plugin while keeping the solution update-safe. This problem is commonly caused by MIME-type validation, file extension restrictions, upload path mismatches, plugin security rules, or server-level permissions rather than the visible plugin settings alone. I'll perform a thorough review of the plugin configuration, WordPress upload handling, file permissions, MIME-type detection, and any filters or hooks affecting the download process. If necessary, I'll implement a clean code-level solution using WordPress hooks or configuration overrides instead of modifying core plugin files, ensuring future updates won't overwrite the fix. Once completed, visitors will be able to submit their email and download the intended image directly from the autoresponder link without errors. I'll also verify that the plugin's statistics tracking and overall site security remain fully functional throughout the process. I’m ready to start immediately.

Your “Download after email” issue sounds like the plugin is rejecting the image during its final file-validation step, even though image downloads are enabled in the settings. I can trace that validation path and fix the specific mismatch without weakening the plugin’s security or disabling statistics tracking. I’ll first reproduce the autoresponder-link error, verify the stored file path and WordPress attachment metadata, then check the image MIME type, extension, upload permissions, and any server or security rule blocking the request. I’ll also inspect relevant WordPress filters and the plugin’s allowed-file logic. Depending on the cause, I’ll apply an update-safe configuration change or a narrowly scoped PHP adjustment (such as a child-theme or site-specific snippet), rather than modifying plugin core files. After the fix, I’ll test the complete flow: email submission, autoresponder link, instant image download, and recording of the plugin’s download statistics. I’ll avoid broad MIME whitelisting and preserve protection for other files. Is the blocked image a JPG or PNG stored in your WordPress Media Library? Muhammad Saad

HI, I’ve worked on WordPress download and permission-related fixes like this before. Since your setup is already mostly in place, the main job is finding why the plugin is rejecting this image file even though it appears allowed, then correcting it cleanly at config/code level. I would also verify that the email-triggered download still tracks properly after the fix. Ready to look into it right away.

That "file not allowed for download" message despite images being enabled is almost always a MIME-type or file-path mismatch in how the plugin validates the download, and that's exactly the kind of issue I dig into. I'll trace how the plugin checks the requested file against its allowed-extensions and MIME whitelist, confirm the actual file type and path match what's stored, and check WordPress' own upload/MIME filtering and file permissions for anything silently blocking it. Once I find the cause, I'll fix it cleanly and in an update-safe way — via a small snippet or a filter hook rather than editing the plugin core — so the image downloads instantly after email submission without touching site security or the plugin's stats tracking. Share admin/FTP access and I can start right away.
