The AutoPage plugin can be used to circumvent payment of an online product and still download the product. How can we stop this?

The sales site is on a WordPress platform and we have reports that the AutoPager plugin can be used to circumvent the payment page and allows someone to download the products without making a payment. How can we stop this from happening?

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

The site is on a WordPress platform and I found a plugin that would remove such meta tags (and other useless stuff).

Everything is perfect again! Thank you SOOO Much!

What AutoPager normally does is automatically click "Next" or "Previous" when pages have navigation controls at the bottom. Google search results are a classic case, and I'm not surprised this would exist for blogs, too.

Edit: I should correct my description. AutoPager doesn't click the button, it uses the URL information in the navigation controls to fetch the content and add it to the current page.

However, I don't understand how it could bypass a payment requirement. Have you tested that yourself? If your only enforcement for payment is hiding the navigation control, then you might want to consider using something more foolproof.

Hi jscher - Yes... I downloaded and installed the plugin just to see for myself that it was bypassing payment pages... and it was.  :( I don't understand how either. There aren't any navigation menus on the pages or any links to the download pages on the sales page.

A user typically must follow this path...

sales page > Clickbank Payment Page > Registration Page > Download Page

The Registration Page is just a page with a form from Constant Contact to collect buyer names/email addresses and when the submit button is clicked the buyer is sent to the download page.

If you would like to see this yourself, the site in question is http://www.boomingptprofits.com.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
