I use LesterChan‘s Download Manager plugin, and it’s great. Good interface, simple purpose. I recently found out that after upgrading a client’s site to WP 2.5, WP-DownloadManager was no longer working. I followed the documentation on the plugin website, including resetting the permalink structure, but nothing worked. For some reason the re-write wasn’t working properly: all […]
