Serve Media Library files through a controlled download endpoint, and place download buttons anywhere with a shortcode.
Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records BBA Secure File Downloads version 1.0.10 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
BBA Secure File Downloads lets you select files from the Media Library and generate a stable File ID for each file. Then you can place a download button anywhere using:
[bbasfd_download id=”FILE_ID”]
The download is served through a controlled endpoint instead of exposing the direct file URL.

Not yet marked as tested with WordPress 7.1. WordPress.org currently lists Tested up to 7.0.
“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
WP PlugIndex tracks public WordPress.org directory metadata and records selected version, compatibility and availability changes as they are detected.
