[Plugin: Pretty file links] Pretty Links in Contact Form 7-Form

Hello Marko,

I’m glad you like the plugin.

Unfortunately the problem lies with Contact form 7 not processing shortcodes in forms. I can’t fix this unfortunately.

The good news is that there is an easy way to make your links look like pretty file links – just add the classes “prettylink zip” to your link and they will take the style of the style you have selected in the admin area.

I hope this helps.
Thanks,
James

Hey James,

thanks for your response ??

Adding the class to the link helped a lot ?? Maybe you should write this great tip to the plugin description/installation guide, so search-lazy users will find that, too.

Best regards,
Marko

P.S: Since 0.5 the plugin loads this url: /wp-admin/PRETTY_FILE_LIST_URL/styles/prettylist.css
I think something went wrong here

Hello Marko,

Thanks for the tip on the error – its fixed now and you’ll get it in the next release. Clearly working on two plugins at once was getting to me and I misspelled the core CSS file! I take it this error was only showing until you chose a style and saved?

I’ll also add the tip about just adding the classes to links to get pretty file links.

Thanks for the feedback.
James

Hey James,

i found that every visits demands another version of your .css file, e.g.

/wp-content/plugins/pretty-file-links//styles/prettylinks_inline.css?ver=4254

Because the version changes for each visit, it is uncachable for the user.

Best regards, Marko

Hello Marko,

This isn’t something that my plugin is doing – it’s a WordPress thing.

When I look at the links on my sites I see:
/wp-content/plugins/pretty-file-links//styles/prettylinks.css?ver=3.3.1

The current WP version number is appended – this shouldn’t change on each page load so the files should be cached ok. I did find this site that shows you how to remove the version for all js and css files if you want to:

If your problem is different to this let me know what your site url is and I’ll take a look.

Thanks,
James
