“You do not have permission to view this file” of file I uploaded

    4 years, 3 months ago

    I have recently migrated my site from wordpress.com to www.remarpro.com. I am using BlueHost to host my website with www.remarpro.com. I used the export and import features within the WordPress editor to export and import my site from wordpress.com to www.remarpro.com.

    I installed the plugin to use the Classic Editor, so I am using the Classic Editor.

    The website is not published yet. All of the URL names are under “box.####.temp.domains” names.

    (Well, I clicked “publish” in order to publish my website a little over 24 hours ago, but I read that it may take up to 72 hours for the website to be published. The new (www.remarpro.com) version has not been published as of yet. But that’s not the “issue” – I am only providing this information in case it may provide relevant information to help with the below issue).

    The reason I migrated my site to www.remarpro.com is so that I could use plugins such as EDD (Easy Digital Downloads) to allow purchases on my website, without purchasing the expensive wordpress.com business plan.

    I am currently using the EDD (Easy Digital Downloads) plugin.

    After I migrated my site, and after I started editing my site via the BlueHost and worpress.org editor, and after I installed the Easy Digital Downloads plugin, I have uploaded several new downloads (PDFs) for purchase, and I have provided links with purchase buttons in a couple of pages on my website.

    The issue I am encountering is – I cannot review the PDFs to make sure they are OK! When I go to the “Media” page, then go to any of the PDFs I want to check, it shows the first page of the PDF as a “preview”, then when I click “view attachment page”, it takes me to a webpage that says “You do not have permission to view this file”. How do I not have permission to view it? I uploaded it!

    As of now, I can’t review the PDFs that I have uploaded for sale on my website.

    Does anyone have any help as to why this problem is happening and/or how to fix it to where I can view the PDFs I have uploaded?

    Thank you.

    edit – added information about when I added the PDFs, also slight information correction.

    As a guess, it sounds like the attachment page template doesn’t know how to work with EDD restrictions. I suggest you seek help in the dedicated support forum for EDD where its devs and expert users are in a better place to help you.

    Thanks for the response. Once I changed the DNS (and nameservers or whatever) of my website, and it was officially published and hosted by BlueHost, the problem got fixed. I can now access/view/preview all of my download files. I’m guessing the problem had something to do with the temporary domain names.
