    Hi.

    First let me say you plugin looks great. Many awesome functions and also options to enable/disable them.

    I was wondering, if it′s possible to log downloaded files, when a user is loged in and have access to these files?

    It would be great, if there is an option to add this feature.
    Thanks!

    Hello @grafikphase,

    Thank you very much for your positive feedback. Would appreciate if you can rate the plugin.

    In regards to your query, how are the files / downloads made available to the user? Are they linked through content or are you using a particular plugin?

    Not to necro or hijack the post, but I’d like to know this as well.

    I have standard a href links on pages that I’d love to see logged for users that click on them. Any way to do that?

    Thank you.

    Hello @bendtho,

    When requesting a file to download via a standard a href link, the request is not even sent to WordPress. It is handled directly by the web server. Therefore WordPress is unaware of such action, so unless there is some sort of integration with the web server it is impossible to capture such downloads with any WordPress plugin.

    While I trust the above answers your question, please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further queries.
