   Hi,

   The file is only added to the database if I call it through mysite.com/index.php?download=myfile.ext . If I call it through mysite.com/downloads/myfile.ext, it is offered as a download (so that part works), but it isn't added to the database.

   Greets,
   Dauntless

   I've checked this in the current version and it works for me. Perhaps something in your site is a case I've not tested.

   Please tell me if your WordPress is at your domain root, the folder where the files reside and the shortcut to download them. I mean the directory structure, not the exact names.

   Perhaps could be some error with the counter. I will check this as checking at the source it looks to me that something is wrong with the counter.

   My website is on mydomain.com, my wordpress installation files are at mydomain.com/V5 . I use a .htaccess file:

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

   # END WordPress

   The files are located in mydomain.com/files and my settings are:
   Folder of uploaded files: ../files
   Url for the download: mydomain.com/download
   Auto-add: Yes

   Thanks!

   I think the problem could be with the paths.
   On settings page you should have something like that:

   Folder of uploaded files: /files -> relative to ABSPATH.
   URL : /download -> Note this does not include domain names, just folder names.

   Perhaps the problem is that you have your WordPress installation files on a subfolder wile the blog is on a parent folder. I've not tested in this case and will do it to check if this is the mistake.

   I will follow this to find were it fails and to solve it.

   Thanks for reporting this!

   Hello!

   I've checked exactly the with the same configuration as you. Found a small bug, but I think it's not related to that.

   With thew 1.1.4 version, and configured like below, it works for me:

   Folder of uploaded files: ../files
   URL for the download: download
   Auto-add: Yes

   Hope this works now.

   BTW This plugin is going to be completely rewritten for the next 2.0 version to get a better integration with WP 2.7 and a more flexible way to manage the files.

   Hi,

   Don't know how or why, but it seems to be working now ... Really weird :S

   (I was debugging download.php and when I was done it was working, but in the end I didn't change anything (well, I changed it back and it still worked))

   Thanks for your time though!
