    Hi Guys,

    Great plugin, everying has been working well until I noticed that users can download files by clicking on their titles in the Most Downloaded list displayed in my side menu. Is it possible to disable this function? I use Email Before Download plugin and I do not want visitors to download anything without filling in the provided form first (which is working fine as long as they click on the other link I display for that purpose).

    Thanks for your help.

    I have managed to resolve it. I’ve replaced the Download List widget with a Text widget and used a shortcode to display the number of downloads:

    [download_data id=”245″ data=”download_count”]

    with additional free text before and after.

    It serves the purpose and the count is automated. The only thing is that every time I have a new item for downloading, I need to add another shortcode with its id to the widget area.

    If anyone has a different idea, please let me know.

    The ‘Email before download’ extension is third party and not supported by us. Our own Email Lock Extension does prevent users from accessing locked files, even if they find out the download URL.
