Download Radar manages download targets in the WordPress administration area and provides stable public tracking URLs.<\/p>\n\n

Example:<\/p>\n\n

\/download\/markupdesk\/<\/p>\n\n

When the URL is requested, the plugin records a download event and then redirects the visitor to the configured file using HTTP 302.<\/p>\n\n

Stored event data:\n* Download ID\n* Version at the time of the request\n* Timestamp\n* Referrer, if supplied by the browser\n* User-Agent<\/p>\n\n

IP addresses are not stored.<\/p>\n\n

Version 0.2.5 uses English source strings and includes a complete German (de_DE) translation. The interface follows the WordPress user\/site language. Existing download definitions, statistics, URLs, and shortcodes are preserved.<\/p>\n\n

Shortcode<\/h3>\n\n

[download_radar id=\"markupdesk\"]<\/p>\n\n

Optional button text:<\/p>\n\n

[download_radar id=\"markupdesk\" text=\"Download MarkupDesk\"]<\/p>\n\n

Custom CSS class:<\/p>\n\n

[download_radar id=\"markupdesk\" text=\"Download\" class=\"et_pb_button et_pb_button_0\"]<\/p>\n\n

The previous [download_tracker]<\/code> shortcode remains supported for existing content.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. In WordPress, open Plugins > Add Plugin > Upload Plugin and select the ZIP file.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin or update the existing installation.<\/li>\n
  3. Create a download under Download Radar.<\/li>\n
  4. Enter the title, version, target URL, and active status.<\/li>\n
  5. Use the generated shortcode or tracking URL on the website.<\/li>\n
  6. Open Download Radar > Statistics to review the download data.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Pretty permalinks must be enabled for the public tracking URLs.<\/p>\n\n\n
