Perfect, clear as in previous answers. I enabled the custom fields without any problems and it is true that the average user might get confused. By default it is best to leave them disabled.

Apparently you have done a good job as far as file protection is concerned, so good, nothing to add.

Regarding the download counter, I thought it would be much easier. You have many doubts to the respect, it is your plugin and you certainly know more about it than I do. In these cases, it is best to take your time; you are not in a hurry.

Clearly by enabling custom fields I can change the count directly in the back-end. I asked you for that reason as well, but not only that. This way I can add fields that will later be retrieved in my custom shortcodes.

Finally, I can only say thank you for the fast and effective support and wish you the best as a wordpress developer.

The download number editor might help in some situations, such as resetting the number once a month, in case you want to keep track of monthly downloads. Another example might be resetting the number after an attack by bots.

I think it is a useful function.

Regarding the addon plugin… I don’t think it’s a good idea. It is not such a “substantial” feature that people will buy it. Perhaps something like an addon to protect attacks by bots would be a good idea. This could be a “substantial” feature that people could pay for.

Regarding the download number editor I think the best idea is to upgrade the plugin.

Friend I got you some work ?? … custom fields in the back-end and download number editor

Hi lana, thanks for the quick response. I just tried it and “$download_count = lana_downloads_manager_get_download_count( $post_id );” works perfectly.

I went to see what’s going on in the database and you have nothing to envy other plugins of this type. You did a great job, clean and effective. If I understand correctly, your custom post type is treated as a normal post and therefore I could extract its post meta… Did you happen to create some other function like “lana_downloads_manager_get_download_count();”?

For example I can see a meta key called lana_download_file_url with which I could extract the file url. Is there a function like “lana_downloads_manager_get_download_count();” with which I could extract the file url or do I have to use “get_post_meta()”?

And a small problem I see is that I can’t insert custom fields in the back-end. However other file download plugins have bigger problems ??

I think in the next update of the plugin you could solve this little problem very easily.

Again thanks for the quick response, wish all plugins developers were this quick and effective.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I am trying shortcoder in a test website on localhost, this website is currently using an old version of wordpress (5.7.3 to be exact). Maybe it’s a problem related with the wordpress version?

I don’t know what to say about it, but I’m having this problem in this wordpress installation. In the text editor the vertical scroll bar works fine while in the code editor it does not.

If it’s a problem with the wordpress version it doesn’t matter, then I will use shortcoder with the latest version.

Thanks for the reply… That would be fine too. Can I kindly ask you what is the script to use?

Sorry to bother you again, however I was thinking about people who are not very experienced with HTML.

I am fairly experienced with this and it’s not my problem.

Of course these people will have difficulty working with it. Would be nice to include a function for adding images without having to work with HTML.

Clearly they won’t be able to do all the other things you can do in HTML. But better than nothing…

Thanks again for updating the plugin

Thank you very much… good job.

Plugin updated and HTML support works perfectly.
