### 󠀁[Great plugin, but breaks the file download button function](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-but-breaks-the-file-download-button-function/)󠁿

This is a simple and useful plugin, as most built-in statistics do not track files
in Wordpress. Unfortunately, it breaks the function of the Gutenberg File Download
Button Block. Once the plugin is active, the file button does not trigger a PDF 
download anymore, but shows the PDF content inline inside the browser window. The
link tag still has the attribute “download”, but with no effect. If you do not use
the Download button (it is optional), I don’t see a problem. Nevertheless, a smart
plugin, thank you!
