I noticed so many Downloads websites create those download links. Eg: Go to any post and Try to download the product, you will get a redirect to another page before they show you too real download links.

The purpose they might be doing to reduce traffic Bounce rates... not very sure. Can anybody of you help me to understand this and provide any help to get those codes? They might be wordpress plugin or custom codes.. not very sure.
Thanks
Not 100 percent sure if you aking this, but...
They do it this way because they do not want another site to parse their links.
Another possibility is if the content is paid - they prevent you to send the links to hundred of your friends.
Lastly, if you pay for streaming, and suppose you have 24h right for streaming, they will invalidate your link after that.
If you ask how this can be done, there are several possibilities.
If content is small, say phone ringtone, you can copy it in download directory, then delete itafter some time.
If content is big and you are on Linux, you can do symlink or hardlink, then delete it.
You can also do it via PHP, Java or whatever technology you are using, but it is far away from the best way. not recommended at all.
Finally, you can use server like nginx or apache. Both of them have modules for this kind of expiring links. Then you can have your website on one of the servers and download will be made from totaly separated server, aven located at different datacenter. The remote server will not need any programs running there, except apache or nginx. This is the only realistic way for streaming large content (movies, music, 3D, games) over the internet.

new here, don't know if I'm doing this right but thought I may ask here. I tell you about the project real quick.
I'm developing a WordPress and Woocomerce website where the product is to request several electricity contracts (some paid, others not) where the clients need to upload a number of documents for us to do said contract. We, the site admins, need to download the client's documents and, once they are greenlight, ready, confirmed, we will upload them back again for the user/client to download. Also, we need this documents to be accesible to the client via their My Account page.
I have struggled so much to find a plugin that does this. I've found tons of file management plugins but those show the root folder of the server and we don't that. Don't know if you guys can recommend me a plugin that does something like this. Maybe one that uses s shortcode? Any help is very much welcome!
i have a website that was developed with wordpress
it was hacked ,I removed the malicious files that I've found on the server
and I got it back but when I search the website on google I found
strange links that I can't open them

Remove url individually form google webmaster tools and it will take time remove it.
You should know that removing malicious files doesn't mean you cleaned up the site. There are many instances where a file will recreate all the malicious files again. Sometimes it can even be above the root of your website root folder. It's best to use a couple plugins to scan the whole site directory. And then check a couple days later if the malicious files return. (if this is the case you are best to actually just switch to a new server or reformat if you have the option as it will get quite expensive to pay someone to clean up your server)
First make sure you have completely cleaned up the hack. Then those pages in Google should get deindex as they won't exist anymore. It's probably not viable to remove every single hack page indexed in Google via webmaster tools as there could be 10s of thousands! (depending on the hack)
Below are a couple good scanners.

I would also recommend some plugins for enhanced security moving forward.

I have a membership website where I sell video content but I have found out that users are downloading the content. Although I had tried Amazon with cloudfront and firewall and now moved to vimeo pro, users are always able to download the content using various extensions for chrome or firefox.
Is there a way that the website can detect such extensions and prevent the user from accessing the website? Maybe an overlay with a message would do the trick.
The website is in Wordpress, so any plugin or code would be highly appreciated.
Thanks for your help!
The simple answer is that there is really no effective way to stop people downloading your videos, if you want them to be able to actually view them.
You can authenticate users and control access that way but even this does not stop authenticated users copying and sharing the video.
The usual approach is to accept it will be downloaded and use an encryption mechanism along with a key exchange mechanism which means that only people with the proper rights can see it - this is what the common DRM systems do.
Even with this, your protection level will depend on what you need to protect - if the video is an entertainment video and you just don't want people viewing it for free then this is likely a good enough solution for you. If your video contains sensitive information, e.g. company data etc, that you don't want anyone to know at all then even this won't stop someone simply pointing a camera at the screen and getting (albeit a low quality) copy.
This is my first time migrating a website from Joomla to Wordpress. The website: www.sfspas.com
1- I am worried that the website will not transfer well or that I will loose functionalities.
Can I duplicate the code and just transfer that version to Wordpress? (Keeping the website live via Joomla and creating in parallel a new website www.sfpsas222.com in wordpress to test things out?)
The website has to be live 24h/7 and It can't just break. How can I make sure the inventory will be uploaded correctly and the website will look as it looks now?
2- Once transferred. If I want to change the appearance of the index.php can I simply upload a newly designed index page on Wordpress? How can I go about it? Any suggestions will be highly appreciated!
Thanks!
I recently transferred one of my sites from Joomla to Wordpress and I can say, that it's not just one-click action. Both frameworks have their own structure, you can't transfer content and users directly.
In short, for transfer you need to create a simple plugin which will take all require info from Joomla (articles, users, etc.) and inject it into Wordpress database, converting prior to that, if necessary.
And no, you CAN NOT do this on 24/7 running site. Don't even think about it. Duplicate your site, convert its database to WordPress, check, that everything works properly, and only then put it online.
It's not an easy process and it requires some knowledge. Even if some kind of Joomla-Wordpress converter exists, you'll have a lot of things messed 100% guaranteed. I've made a lot of transfers in my life, so I'm pretty sure of it.
Providing you have a required knowledge of database management and PHP, just be patient and spend some time. If you don't - hire a professional. There's no easy way here, because Joomla and WordPress are like car and bike. Both are a transport, both run fast, but you can't convert one into another without any effort.
What should I do when I see some IP in my logs scrolling through 100s of pages on my site? I have a wordpress blog, and it seems like this isn't a real person. This happens almost daily with different IPs.
UPDATE: Oh, i forgot to mention, I'm pretty sure it's not a search engine spider. The hostname is not a searchengine, but some random person from india (ends in '.in').
What I am concerned with, is if it is a scraper, is there anything I can do? Or could it possibly be something worse than a scraper e.g. hacker?
It's a spider/crawler. Search engines use these to compile their listings, researchers use them to figure out the structure of the internet, the Internet Archive uses them to download the contents of the Internet for future generations, spammers use them to search for e-mail addresses, and many more such situations.
Checking out the user agent string in your logs may give you more information on what they're doing. Well-behaved bots will generally indicate who/what they are - Google's search bots, for example, are called Googlebot.
If you're concerned about script kiddies, I suggest checking your error logs. The scripts often look for things you may not have; e.g. on one system I run, I don't have ASP, however, I can tell when a script kiddie has probed the site because I see lots attempts to find ASP pages in my error logs.
Probably some script kiddie looking to take advantage of an exploit in your blog (or server). That, or some web crawler.
It's probably a spider-bot indexing your site. The "User-Agent" might give it away. It is possible to have 100s of GET requests easily for a dynamically generated Wordpress site if it isn't all blog pages but includes things like css, js and images.
