This plugin will record clicks of shortcode
[downloadCount] and shows it on posts list. Comes convenient if you're a setting up
a site to use download pages of products/publications as posts. Multiple shortcodes won't work since it's on the convention of
one product per post.
Things make it nice:
- Easily add this literally short shortcode [downloadCount] and get your link appeared.
- Numerous HTML attributes are available so you can customize as you wish.
- View download count right from the WP post list.
- No dashboard menu entry (yet) to help you keep the backend clean.
- Optimized speed with minimal resource usage.
- It's not just for downloads but any link you prefer to be tracked.
Shortcode attributes:
- link= Your link to the download. Protocol (http/https) must be mentioned.
- title= Text to be appeard as the link. Default: "Download".
- style= For CSS inline styles.
- class= For CSS classes.
Tip: You can use even icons (or HTML codes) on
title attribute.
Example shortcode:
[downloadCount link="http://thambaru.com" title="My website" style="text-decoration:none;" class="btn btn-success"]
