 * I can’t get the filename, filesize, short_description or author to show and the
   download_link isn’t a link under the download_data shortcodes
 * Using standard templates, the ones that are supposed to show file size and short_description
   don’t show either of those, although the filename does get pulled up.
 * version-list template isn’t listing versions unless I’m totally misunderstanding
   how to set those up.
 * I go into your code and see what looks like that information is being pulled,
   but I’m not up on .php enough to try and decipher it all to figure out why it’s
   not getting to where it gets output.
 * Also the page listing isn’t showing filetype on pdf
 * I can’t search on tags.
