    Two questions:
    1. When a link expired there's a blank page with the message "Link Expired!". Can I change/translate this message?
    2. Is there a way to redirect a customer to a specific page when a link expired? On this page I could explain more details what he can do now.

    If you are brave enough, you can edit the download.php file. It is hard coded there, near the beginning, because when the buyer clicks on an encrypted link, the WordPress environment is not loaded. Once you find the message in the file, you can customize it the way you want.

    I'm very brave. :-)

    Thank for the help. I understand that the WordPress environment ist not loaded and it's difficult to redirect the user to a specific page. But perhaps it's something for a future release.

    I've given it some thought, already. It's on the wish list :)

    As of eStore version 5.9.8, you have the ability to easily customize or localize all of the error messages used in the download validation scripts: download.php and custom_download.php

    All message strings are located near the top of each file.

    Error messages are now presented to the buyer as "Windows 8 style" blue screens.

    If you have previously "customized" the download script location, using custom_download.php then you must remember to manually update your copy of the custom script.
