You are getting this error because you are using the wrong slug for the course

Instead of using what-is-php-for-wordpress you should use php-for-wordpress.
It is advised to navigate to a course you are trying to download, then copy the slug from there instead of the course name

I am guessing this the course you were trying to download (linkedin.com/learning/php-for-word...
)

Make sure you also update to the latest version 2.2.6 with better error handling

Thanks for using the tool 😊
