Lana Codes

Currently, a Category widgets addon is available for the plugin at https://lana.codes/product/lana-downloads-manager/.

But the shortcode is also a very good idea, because of the Gutenberg compatibility. We included it in the planned developments. We will publish when we have developed the addon.

Thank you for your kind words, they mean a lot.

It only exists as an addon plugin. We do not plan to integrate it, because Lana Downloads Manager is a download management plugin, not a PDF viewer.

You can download it from here:
https://lana.solutions/plugins/lana-downloads-manager-pdf-viewer-addon/lana-downloads-manager-pdf-viewer-addon.zip

The Lana Downloads Manager plugin does not contain such a feature.

I think you should primarily look for a marketing or webshop plugin. Since I think this primarily serves a marketing purpose, because it is a product that can be downloaded in exchange for an email address needed for a newsletter, I would therefore be looking for such a marketing plugin. Or for a free digital product with a webshop plugin, where you have to enter the email address somewhere.

However, it could also be implemented with Lana Downloads Manager, but it would require a lot of unique development, which could be done as a freelancer according to special needs. But at the moment, the plugin does not contain such a thing at all.

Thank you for the feedback. I don’t speak Russian, but I’ll try to help you.

Unfortunately, the default meta tag cannot be disabled in the admin. This is because there are too many things related to the default meta tags. But if you do not fill in the default meta tag, the default meta tag will not be added to the website. So it doesn’t cause a problem.

So:
Default Meta
Meta Title: (empty)

Dublin Core
Dublin Core Title: Post Title

Only this will be added to the website:
<meta name="DC.title" content="Post Title">

Thank you for your kind words.

If you have any other development ideas or compatibility requests, please contact us, either here on the forum or by email at [email protected].

After much deliberation, we have decided not to develop an option to edit the counter in the plugin at the moment.

For admin it is possible to modify the counter if you enable custom fields. Thus, this problem can be solved with the core function.

Fixed in version 1.8.1, please download and try it yourself too.

Thank you again for your feedback.

Thank you for the kind words, I always appreciate positive feedback.

I am testing your solution in a Windows environment, but I noticed that the wp_uploads basedir may be the problem, because:

$wp_uploads["basedir"]: C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress/wp-content/uploads

and if I give it a realpath:

$wp_uploads_dir = realpath( $wp_uploads['basedir'] );

because then it will be:

$wp_uploads_dir (after realpath): C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\uploads

everything works perfectly.

But it is still possible to use a wp_normalize_path after the realpath in any case. I am still testing the possibilities and I’m trying to find the best solution.

Awesome, thank you for the advice.

In the next version, I will add wp_normalize_path() for Windows compatibility.

Oh, thank you very much for this feedback. It means a lot to me.

We are planning more WordPress theme releases in the future, which will have the Bootstrap 4 framework and more customizer settings.

Based on the link sent in the email, I receive this message:

403 - Forbidden Access to this page is forbidden.

So it seems to work.

Hm, that’s weird then. Could you send me the link to the website? Also the link of the file? So I can test it.

You can also send by email: [email protected]

Hm, I forgot to say that restricting direct file access works for the following web servers: Apache and LiteSpeed.

So if your localhost web server is Nginx, it doesn’t work there.

But if your web server is Nginx, then a separate limiting solution must be applied, I think I can help you with such a limiting setting for your web server.

You can check here:

Tools > Site Health > Info > Server > Web server

This is a complex question, I will try to give a detailed answer:

– If you upload the file using the “Download” post type file management part, it will go to the /uploads/lana-download/ folder, where direct file access is prohibited, so https://lana.codes/wp-content/uploads/lana-download/file.pdf is not accessible to anyone. So direct file access is disabled (it always works that way).

– You can only download the file via the download permalink, for example https://lana.codes/download/1201/

But knowing the download permalink, there is no limitation. If someone knows the download permalink and sends it to anyone else, they will be able to download it.

If you set the “Download” post type to private in the settings, the post type will not be publicly listed, so the link is not easily accessible publicly.

But if, for example, you want the link to be available only to logged-in users, then that would require development and modification.

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me.

Yes, there is a widget that you can use in Elementor.

This is a WordPress widget, so you can find it in Elementor in the “WordPress” widget category list, its name is “Lana – Download”.
