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.

Overview

About this plugin

Download Radar manages download targets in the WordPress administration area and provides stable public tracking URLs.

Example:

/download/markupdesk/

When the URL is requested, the plugin records a download event and then redirects the visitor to the configured file using HTTP 302.

Stored event data:

* Download ID

* Version at the time of the request

* Timestamp

* Referrer, if supplied by the browser

* User-Agent

IP addresses are not stored.

5 uses English source strings and includes a complete German (de_DE) translation. The interface follows the WordPress user/site language. Existing download definitions, statistics, URLs, and shortcodes are preserved.

Custom CSS class:
