Showing WordPress Error on browser tab

    I have set up Simple Download Monitor to prompt user to login before they can download a file. So what happens is when a logged out visitor comes and click Download, they are directed to a page that says: You need to be logged in to download this file. Click here to go to login page. My issue is the browser tab is showing WordPress > Error which doesn’t look nice. Is there a way to change that to show my site name instead of WordPress?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi, the plugin does not control what the error message in the tab looks like. This is more a WordPress related issue and or your theme. I see the image belongs to Hostgator. Perhaps you could speak to Hostgator support. Or maybe speak to your theme developers.

    Let me know how you go.

    Kind regards

    Hi, how are you trailing with this issue? Have you solved it yet?

    Try this: I did it my way.

    1. Create a page ‘not-found’
    2. Replace in includes/sdm-download-request-handler.php (line 51):

    – – – – –

    $error_msg = __(‘Error! This download requires a password.’, ‘simple-download-monitor’);

    $error_msg .= ‘<p>’;

    $error_msg .= ‘‘ . __(‘Click here’, ‘simple-download-monitor’) . ‘‘;

    $error_msg .= __(‘ and enter a valid password for this item’, ‘simple-download-monitor’);

    $error_msg .= ‘</p>’;

    wp_die($error_msg);

    }

    – – – – –

    By:

    – – – – –

    header(‘Location: /not-found’);
    exit; }

    – – – – –

    3. And replace (line 69):

    – – – – –

    wp_die(__(‘Error! Incorrect password. This download requires a valid password.’, ‘simple-download-monitor’));

    – – – – –

    By the same lines:

    – – – – –

    header(‘Location: /not-found’);
    exit;

    – – – – –

    It redirects to a page you designed and you can tell there about the reasons, all in one window. Not difficult to implement in the plugin, I think.

    Good luck…
