This ain’t no WordPress plugin!

    Hi,

    If you happen to be a developer in need of some sort of download manager when building a website with a custom theme, please be advised against using this plugin.

    The way it is build is it’s own system, where you won’t get in between. They didn’t use any of the regular WordPress development conventions, so any customisation you would like to make, just gets ignored.

    I used it on a website and our client asked the simple question of adding a video to the download information, to get a preview before downloading. Well, that would normally work just fine with some html or a custom field, not with this plugin.

    BE AWARE!

    Also, no customer support, even after paying for the pro version with loads of addons.

    Please be more specific about how this plugin is not customizable. Download Manager allows you to override all template files and we have clear documentation on that. Maybe you missed it.

    Here is the documentation link https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/ It explains clearly where Download Manager templates are located and where to put them in your theme to make your own templates.

    There are also lots of action and filter hooks to modify and extend plugin features. But you have to read the documentation first to know how these works.

    Please don’t try to call me a newby that didn’t try to work with your plugin.
    If it would work like it should, I wouldn’t have left this review.

    So perhaps learn something from it and improve the plugin.
