 * Hi Tobo,
 * Thanks for checking out the plugin 🙂
 * I played around with a vertical pipe to separate those data sets when I was developing
   the plugin and decided that it looked too much like a 1 which might dissuade 
   users from downloading the file.
 * I’m thinking of adding it in as an option in a future release. I will keep you
   posted.
 * Cheers,
 * Nik

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for checking out the plugin 🙂
 * I am hearing this request more and more. I’m going to implement this as an option
   in the next release… I’m snowed under with work at the moment but I’ll get on
   to it ASAP.

 * Hey Marc,
 * Thanks for checkng out the plugin 🙂
 * I have tested the issue with the space between the colon (:) and the file size
   on a coupe of installs and cannot replicate it, do you have a URL that I could
   look at?
 * As for hiding the type information, you can try to add this to your CSS and see
   if it works. (I’m not near my dev machine at the moment and can’t try it out 
   to know for sure)
 *     ```
       .bfd-bottom-zero:nth-of-type(2){
        display:none;
       }
       ```
   
 * Otherwise, I’ll have a look at it for the next release 🙂
 * Cheers mate,

 * Hi Yasir80,
 * There is a setting under Dowload Settings->Display Options to force PDFs (and
   other downloads) to open in a tab rather than download, Have you got that setting
   set incorrectly for your requirements?
 * If you have checked that and it’s still not working the way you would like then
   I suspect that you’re using a caching plugin. Try deleting the cache and doing
   a hard refresh on your bowser. That has done the trick for a few users.
 * I have this plugin installed on a couple of live sites and I have tested this
   functionality with all of them and using the force download setting works as 
   it should on all of them.
 * Let me know how you get on with it 🙂
 * Cheers,
 * Nik

 * Hey Beat,
 * Maybe it’s got something to do with the date format settings in your WordPress
   general settings?
 * If you’ve set some sort of custom date, it may be invalid. Try setting it to `
   d.m.y` Instead. Otherwise, I’m running out of ideas 🙁
 * Let me know how you go.

 * Hey Beat,
 * The Better File Download downloads are custom post types, each one is a custom
   post (trust me, I built it) and you are displaying them on a page.
 * I can only think that it’s something to do with your theme. If you have a Dev
   or local environment and can still be bothered, try switching themes just to 
   see if that helps.
 * Cheers,
 * Nik

 * Hey Beat,
 * Thats odd??
 * WP by default lets you change the published date of a post and thats all your
   download is.. a custom post.
 * See this [Article](https://www.wpentire.com/post-published-date-wordpress/) for
   more info.

 * Hi Beat,
 * It’s possible your host has some sort of caching scheme running that’s delaying
   the correct output, but it should have been corrected by now. While it shouldn’t
   matter, it’s worth completely flushing your browser’s cache with either CTRL 
   + F5 or CMD + shift + R depending on whether your on Win or Mac , then loading
   a page in a new tab or window. Try the easy things first 🙂
 * You could also try using the [Health Check](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   plugin and see how you go.
 * Cheers,
 * Nik

 * Hi Beat,
 * If you use the display option checkbox to show the date to users the you can 
   set the date in either edit or quick edit and the plugin will display whichever
   date you set.
 * Is this what you were after?
 * Cheers,
 * Nik

 * Hi,
 * I have to apologise for that, I left a debug call in the code, I will push out
   an update tonight (in about 9hours when I get home from work) in the mean time,
   you can download a clean copy from [https://www.nikhaddon.com/better-file-download](https://www.nikhaddon.com/better-file-download).
 * FTP into your hosting and extract the package to the wp-content>plugins folder
   and overwrite the existing copy.
 * Sorry for the inconvenience 🙁
 * Cheers,
 * Nik
