Simple Download Counter (SDC) provides a simple yet powerful way to count file downloads. And makes it easy to display download links and download counts anywhere on the front end. It does one thing and does it well: counts the number of downloads for your files. Let me emphasize the utter simplicity of this plugin. No redundant or sloppy coding practices.Descriptive error handling for upload files.Plugin cleans up after itself when uninstalled.Download posts are visible only in the Admin Area.No obtuse styling of default WP Admin elements.No advertisements or weird admin notifications.No automatically created posts or pages.Supports all local and remote downloads.Lightweight with minimal useless features.Here are some ways that Simple Download Counter is better than the other “download manager” or “download counter” type plugins: Simple Download Counter is lightweight, fast, and easy to use. And thus, Simple Download Counter is born. I mean, yeah the plugin somehow managed to still work, but after putting up with all the nonsense, I wanted better. Shoddy development, endless bloat creep, publishing pages without consent, defacing the Admin Area, bats**t crazy admin notifications, and worst of all unpredictable and nonsensical changes to plugin settings and basic functionality. That plugin worked well for a few years, then was “acquired” by some other company and just took a nose dive, slowly at first and then a sharp descent into desperate money grubbing idiocy. Simple Download Counter does the rest.īasically I needed a replacement for my current download manager plugin. Simply add your files via the plugin settings and display download links via shortcodes. The goal is a clean, lightweight “set it and forget it” solution for keeping track of downloads. Simple Download Counter is a free WordPress plugin that does exactly what it says: counts the number of times your files are downloaded.
