Errors

Expire temp links must be at least 1 minute

Admin save rejected Symlink expiry below 1 minute or a non-numeric value.

Expire temp links must be at least 1 minute

Saving Files settings failed because symlink_expire was less than 1 or not a valid number.

Why this happens

Prevents zero/negative temp-link TTL. Paired with the 7-day maximum validation.

Diagnose and fix

1. Set Symlink expiry to at least 1 minute.

2. Use a whole number of minutes (not empty/NaN).

3. Save and mint a test download link to confirm TTL.

4. Very short TTLs may confuse users on slow pages — pick a sensible default.
