Something goes wrong, you don’t have permission to use this page, sorry.

  • Hi!

    Love your plug in, but recently, myself and other visitors keeping getting the “Something goes wrong, you don’t have permission to use this page, sorry.” message when trying to download an audio file. I noticed other threads had similar issues, but I didn’t seem to find an direct answer.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Hi,
    That happens if your browser doesn’t accept cookies. To prevent unwanted access to the download page there’s a cookies mechanism that verify if the download has called from the same site origin. If the browser doesn’t accept cookies the download page will fail.

    You can prevent this by commenting this two lines (11 and 12) in the map_download.php file:

    if(!isset($_SESSION['maphost']) || $_SESSION['maphost'] != $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])
  die ('<b>Something goes wrong, you don\'t have permission to use this page, sorry.</b>') ;

    But removing this two lines there’s a vulnerability issue…

    Hi Matteo,

    we are getting below error on download audio file

    403 Permission Denied

    You do not have permission for this request /wp-content/plugins/wp-miniaudioplayer/map_download.php?filename=

    I’ve already comment out the line 11 and 12 of map_download.php file.

    Thanks,
    Ken

    Hi, we are having the same issue und commenting out both lines helped. Thanks so far. But what is the exact security risk? Does it help to decrease folder permissions level? thx, c–
