Thanks. Any update? Looks like an easy fix.
Is there a GitHub repo for PRs?

I expect your comment editing feature to work out of the box, like it works in the admin panel. Your plugin has many issues, and I have uninstalled it for now.

I saw it, and I turned it off because I don’t want this feature. Read my comment again.

I’m not interested, sorry.

1. I don’t want the automatic conversion feature.

2. I already have comments on my blog. I expect that when I edit a comment and change nothing, then nothing changes.

I can’t. But you can reproduce it here:

You’re an admin, so you can see that the same happens when editing.

OK, thanks.

But it’s only the visual appearance, isn’t it? Can’t a user trigger a post request to subscribe anyway?

Actually that doesn’t sound that serious since there’s a confirmation email, but still…

I have verified, no files were modified, and there were no database changes apart from the new text of the most recent blog post.

Same thing happened to me. Installed plugins:

Attachment Pages Redirect
Comment Reply Notification
Image Zoom
Quote Comments
SyntaxHighlighter Evolved
Wordpress Download Monitor
WordPress Popular Posts
WP-Markdown
WP-UserAgent

So, what’s your last word on this?
Is there going to be an official migration option?

Well, I haven’t found the filename anywhere in the DB. Only title, slug, and full path in post metadata.
The title is actually the filename by default, that’s why I referred to it.
I guess it will require saving the filename somewhere to make it work. Or e.g. replacing slug with it.

I don’t get the slug thing for downloads, anyway. Compatibility aside, it’s just unintuitive. Say you want to download a file named “File-Name.zip”, which of the following links would you expect to lead to the file?
https://example.com/downloads/file-name-zip/
-or-
https://example.com/downloads/File-Name.zip

So here’s my suggestion:
Get rid of the slug the way it is now, and use the column to keep the filename. Next, get rid of the trailing slash. I’ve just checked, and WordPress accepts such links.
Then, links would look like links to real files instead of links to web pages.

One more issue:
The links are available using an id and using a slug, but not using a title.
e.g. I could only get the following for File-Name.zip:
https://example.com/downloads/1234/
-or-
https://example.com/downloads/file-name-zip/

But the old link is:
https://example.com/downloads/File-Name.zip

The only thing I can do is creating a rule in htaccess which converts dots to dashes, and convert the text to lowercase, but then the following links would resolve as well:
https://example.com/downloads/File.Name-zip
https://example.com/downloads/FILE.NAME.ZIP

The old script supported title as a script argument:
/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=File-Name.zip

> Did you link manually in the old version?
I don’t remember, but I think it was a feature. I guess adding a rule manually will work.

> Point 2, you can enable redirect per-download
I haven’t seen the option. It’s good to have, but I’d expect it to be a global setting, not per-download.
Now I have to: 1. Enable it for all the existing downloads (no way except an SQL query, right?), and 2. Remember to tick it for every new download.
