# Version 2.7 breaks everything

 * This plugin was great until version 2.7.
 * With version 2.7 the author seems to be greedy. All good and (for me) relevant
   features were removed and added to the pro version, that’s obviously not for 
   free.
 * The migration still fails and must be started manually. So all downloads were
   vanished for 2-3 days.
 * I recently switched to Delightful Downloads. Man, what a nice and small plugin
   this is.
 * My recommendation: DO NOT UPDATE TO 2.7!

 * Hi,
    sorry for the confusion, but actually you got the wrong concept about the
   features, version 2.7 has lots more features now. Please check all those add-
   ons here [http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/downloads/free-add-ons/](http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/downloads/free-add-ons/),
   they are all free and you can use those with v2.7, which was not possible with
   2.6, for the missing features, now you need to install add-on, though looks like
   it is a bit of extra work, but here you can drop the feature you don’t need, 
   which will make the thing cleaner.
 * Migration worked fine for us and others, sometimes category may be unlinked because
   there was no way to keep linked as it moved to custom post type. But we can check
   it in your installation and help with your setup, no worry about that.
 * Though I strongly recommend to update v2.7, but you still can get back to v2.6
   from here [https://wordpress.org/plugins/download-manager/developers/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/download-manager/developers/)
 * Thank you.
