Hi I used formidable forms to protect files - to be accessible only for logged in users. I moved my install to the root (from a subdirectory) and now all the protected links don't work anymore. i tried editing the form entries to re-save, but the files are not present in the form anymore. Is there a way to recover the entries and associated files without having to re-upload them all. This is the type of link that does not work anymore https:/url.com/frm_file/aWQ6ODY4NnxmaWxlbmFtZTpwb211NTU1NV9jaXVzc3Njbi0xLnBkZg== this worked fine when it was https:/url.com/subdomain/frm_file/aWQ6ODY4NnxmaWxlbmFtZTpwb211NTU1NV9jaXVzc3Njbi0xLnBkZg== Thank you in advance for any insight or advice

How did you move the install? Did you update all internal links in the database?

Hi This issue is resolved. The host cache was causing the issue and once i cleared that, all private links started working again. Just writing this in case it helps someone else in the same situation. I had not initially thought of this. Yes, i had updated all the internal links using better search and replace, and everything else was working fine, which is why i was mystified earlier. Thanks
