Do you mean adding this code to functions.php?

add_filter('upload_mimes','add_custom_mime_types');
	function add_custom_mime_types($mimes){
		return array_merge($mimes,array (
			'ac3' => 'audio/ac3',
			'mpa' => 'audio/MPA',
			'flv' => 'video/x-flv',
                        'svg' => 'image/svg+xml'
		));
	}

How do you modify it for .exe? It advises not to change functions.php. It says that it is dangerous plus you will lose the change when you upgrade. But it offers an alternative via “Custom CSS”. I managed to find “Custom CSS”. It’s a little box on the left-hand side of the screen near the bottom, if I was at the right place. Is that where you put the code?

I’m leaning toward just going with the .zip file. Seems unfortunate since the .exe was working.

This is very strange because it was working a couple of months ago and I don’t remember doing anything special to get it to work.

An .exe and a .zip. The message appears for both of them. There must be some way to get rid of it.

I’ve changed the code that creates the link.

I’m sorry. I don’t know what you mean by template file.

I changed the above to

?<a href=https://cronapacific.com/filedownload/324/ download style="text-decoration: underline;">CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD A .ZIP FILE</a> ? ? ? ? <a href=https://cronapacific.com/SELMS-setup.exe download>CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD AN .EXE FILE</a>

Notice the ‘324’. This is for the zip file (only). It works but you can still see the download count on the website. What to do?

Thank you. But is it even possbile to suppress the appearance of the download count on the website itself and still be possible for me to get the download count? I am a newbie with this sort of code. This is the actual download code (it contains 2 links):

<a href=https://cronapacific.com/SELMS-setup.zip download style="text-decoration: underline;">CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD A .ZIP FILE</a> ? ? ? ? <a href=https://cronapacific.com/SELMS-setup.exe download>CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD AN .EXE FILE</a>

That worked. Thank you.

With help I got it to work with Download Monitor. Thank you.

Well, if I deactivate Under Construction people can download the files. And I would have no way of knowing if someone has downloaded or not. I’d really like to know if somebody has downloaded one of the files so I’d like to avoid deactivating Under Construction at least for now.

I think the links are in a file called .htaccess. Would you know where this file is?

Well, I want to get download counts. So, if you’re sure I’m not using Download Monitor for the downloads then wouldn’t you recommend that I switch to Download Monitor? Does that support 2 links on 1 page? (I want to do whatever is simpler. But I need the counts.)

In order for you to look at the page I have to deactivate Under Construction.

Do you mean this? Or should I be looking elsewhere? If I have 2 downloads but only 1 appears on this screen does that mean my downloads are not coming via the Download Monitor plugin?

Where is the plugin’s page? On the dashboard? Or do you mean Download Monitor’s website? I also do not see “track downloads counts and log user download attempts” anywhere. This makes me suspect that maybe I an not using Download Monitor for my downloads. Download Monitor is installed and activated but I don’t think that means the download links necessarily work via Download Monitor. So how would I confirm that I’m actually using Download Monitor for these 2 particular downloads?

Searching the knowledge base on “counts” turned up nothing and searching on “logs” turned up a page about Advanced Access Manager which doesn’t mention counts.

My site has Download Monitor 1.9.7 installed and activated.

Yes, I’m searching for a URL and the text associated with it or whatever it is that defines the download. This is the download screen as seen by the users. The red texts at the bottom are the actual downloads. This is the page on the dashboard. Note that the red text doesn’t appear.

It turns out I am using Download Monitor already! (Not Download Manager.) And my downloads are working. So now I just need to figure out how to configure it to extract the statistics from it.

It worked! Thank you so much!

I’ll mark this thread as resolved.
