Installation

1. Install using the WordPress built-in Plugin installer (via Plugins > Add New – search for wpdr simple downloads ), or extract the ZIP file and drop the contents in the wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress installation.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
3. Go to “Documents”/ “Downloads” > Download Settings to set a few options – or just be happy with the default settings ????
4. Go and manage your downloas files ????

Recommended Settings:

Go the add-on plugin’s settings page (located under “Documents”/ “Downloads” > Download Settings):

• Set downloads slug — via WPDR
• Set upload directory for download files/ documents — via WPDR
• Use “Downloads” wording instead of “Documents”
• Use additional taxonomies and widgets
• Set the preferred translations variant to load

Basic Usage:

• To insert a download file link into a Post, Page or Custom Post Type, use the regular “Insert Link” feature, search for your Download/ Document file (searches for title!) and insert the actual link. Really simple, yeah!
• To display Download files on the frontend you can also use the included widgets or the shortcodes of WPDR (see the WPDR Wiki for the shortcode documentation – scroll down a bit there…).
• To update an existing file/ document just open the existing item and upload a new version (revision). The file/ document peramlink will always point to the latest revision! Yeah, it’s so easy ????
• You can also use third-party plugins or widgets that support custom post types to query, display or do anything you want with the “Document” post type, that we use for the download files. Pretty simple again, yet very effective and standards compliant.
• List of reccommended third-party plugins:
  • Count Shortcode – simple count posts or post types
  • Faceted Search Widget – sidebar widget to allow filtering indexes by builtin and custom taxonomies
  • Display Posts Shortcode – display a listing of posts or post types using the [display-posts] shortcode
  • Edit Flow – for even more workflow & team/staff management — Alternative: PublishPress
  • Members – for user roles & capability management

Other Stuff:

Own translation/wording: For custom and update-safe language files please upload them to /wp-content/languages/wpdr-simple-downloads/ (just create this folder) – This enables you to use fully custom translations that won’t be overridden on plugin updates. Also, complete custom English wording is possible with that, just use a language file like wpdr-simple-downloads-en_US.mo/.po to achieve that.

Deinstallation

If you ever want to uninstall the add-on (i.e. “WP Document Revisions Simple Downloads”) you can use your stuff like before. All will work like normal as this plugin does NOT make any permanent modifications! Good to know, right?! ????
