    Dear Support Team,

    I have updated my sites to WordPress 6.1 and Lana Download 1.7.1 and now, every time to try to download a file using the lana URL or even trying to save a lana download post, I am getting the following error message:

    "Local file with an absolute path is not allowed"

    I didn’t change any configuration, just updated. It was working before the update.

    I am facing the same issue in two different sites hosted with different hosting providers. So, it seems it is not a server issue.

    I have another site on one of the same servers with WordPress 5.9 and Lana Download Version 1.5.0 and there the downloads are working without problem.

    As test proposes, I have downgraded to different versions of Lana Download on one site with Worpress 6.1. and the downloads are working with Lana Download Version 1.5.0. Also, the lana download posts are saving properly.

    Do you know what is causing this issues in the newer versions of lana download and how to solve it?

    Thank you in advance!

    Best regards,
    Jose

    Due to the new security settings, it was necessary to restrict access to local files by default.

    But we have created an addon that allows local files:

    If you have any questions or need further help, feel free to contact me.
