Redirect Only Deprecated
-
I am getting the warning that Redirect only will be deprecated.
Why is this method being deprecated?We are using WooComerce to sell access to a page on the website, so we need the URL that gets listed in My Account to be an actual URL and not try to download a file. When a product is purchased the user role needed to access the specific page is added and the link to that page is supplied via the My account Downloads page.
When will this stop working and what is the solution to our problem when it does stop working?

Hi @buckneri !
Redirect Only is deprecated for files from the same site meanwhile, it will continue to work for external sources.
The reason behind this is because it is an “insecure” method basically, once the customer has the link they can share that and everyone with a link gets access to the file.
Now, back to your use case. This is a very smart workaround and use of the feature! Could you please further clarify how are you “protecting” the page?
In your case, I’d suggest a plugin like WooCommerce Memberships as it provides all the tools to restrict pages and/or content based on different membership plans.
You can read more about WooCommerce Memberships and all its features here: https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-memberships/
Meanwhile, to remove the notice and continue to use the Redirect Only method please ensure that Allow using redirect mode (insecure) as a last resort is checked under WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Downloadable products.
Please check the screenshot for reference: https://d.pr/WsWNhL
Thank you!
The site sells magazine subscriptions via a 3rd party system, however they also sell a “digital edition” of the magazine so that users can purchase single editions digitally and view them online. These are actually index.html files that load a JS “flipbook” version of the magazine.
The URLs are NOT external, but rather inside the uploads folder inside of another subdirectory. we use a folder protection plugin that restricts the access to the proper user roles, and the “file” is actually an html index file that loads when you go to the correct folder in the subdirectory.
We are ALSO using the same setup on another site where the URL’s will be pointing to a WordPress page itself that has access control based on the user roles, which will also stop working if redirect only is removed as it will try to download the URL as a file and throw a 404 error. This one is actually using subscriptions to perform process of adding and removing access, because the purchase is only for a 24 hour period of access to the page, which basically hosts the most current news articles of the day.
We are REALLY trying not to add ANOTHER membership plugin to the sites. we already use Groups plugin to provide partial access control to articles. AND already have a plugin developed that works with that plugin to synchronize the 3rd party information to the wordpress site. so adding another membership plugin means we now have to create another plugin to sync the data and have it work with memberships..
all because you guys are worried we might be giving too many people access to a file???? you realize that files on the same site.. means files in the uploads folder only..because there is no other location that you are linking to files in wordpress itself because you cant upload to any other locations without FTP access or another file manager, which is a pretty rare case. And the uploads folder is public access anyways.
Why dont you leave the feature in and just put a notice to recommend that people use a directory protection plugin?
https://www.noupe.com/wordpress/how-to-protect-wordpress-files-and-uploads-folder.html
is a list of ways to protect the uploads folder INCLUDING only allowing logged in users, which would solve the problem.
The problem with memberships plugin and ALL other membership plugins that restrict content is that they are based on “excerpts” instead of short codes.
I do however see that the membership plugin you linked has that feature. but that also means we now have to pay a dev more money to change a plugin we just created to use groups in order to restrict content to now use memberships…AND go through every single article on a 10 year old site and change every shortcode from the “groups” style shortcode to the “woocommerce memberships” style shortcode! Even search and replace wont be able to handle that amount of content without crashing.
all because you dont want us to link to a url thats already public access.
$200 annually??!! I am starting to think you are removing the feature for monetary reasons and not security reasons. since i still cant think of a single url that would point to a file on a wordpress site that would work with a redirect that isnt already in the uploads folder or any way it would be a security risk outside of allowing multiple people access to the file, which is already publicly available and not a protected folder anyways…
I also dont see how the memberships plugin will allow our site to function as it currently does. When they purchase a product the url to the digital edition is given to them in their my account/downloads page where they can see every edition they purchased and click the link to view it.
how would that url be given to the customer then? It doesnt seem to have any option to restrict content in the uploads folder or any url for that matter…
Hi @buckneri
Thanks for the series of updates.
I understand that owing to the huge amount of data in the 10 year old site, replacing the existing membership plugin with a different one is not a feasible solution.
Why dont you leave the feature in and just put a notice to recommend that people use a directory protection plugin?
You can submit this on our Ideas Board and add your vote(s) to it. The more popular an idea becomes, the more of a priority it is for our developers to review it. You can find the Ideas Board at: http://ideas.woocommerce.com/forums/133476-woocommerce.
To be able to provide the best advice for your current setup, it’ll be great if we can check the system status. Could you please share a copy of your site’s System Status?

Thanks for sharing the system report!
Reiterating what we mentioned earlier: you can keep using the “Redirect Only” method if you signal to WooCommerce that you’re okay with its security shortcomings.
Link to image: https://snipboard.io/PQDIp7.jpgThe “Redirect Only” fallback was removed last year in WooCommerce 5.5.0, but then this switch was added to accommodate the specific contexts where using it makes sense – like yours.
You can find the relevant discussion here: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/30288#issuecomment-884945421
And the resulting change here: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/pull/30294
Please let us know if you need additional assistance with this issue.
We’ve not heard back from you in a while, so I’m marking this thread as resolved. Hopefully, the above info was helpful.
