Important notice for wordpress download monitor users

April 25, 2008 | Published in: Out of the Blue | Tags: 6

I recently discovered wordpress automatic updates for plugins delete the plugin’s directory. This has severe implications for the plugin because downloads will be lost. To solve this I have had to move the folder outside of the wp_download_monitor directory. Therefore if you use automatic updates please back up your downloads, or move them into wp_content/uploads before updating the plugin.

I will update the plugin tomorrow, this should give some notice and let you backup your files.

    That would explain things! I had just assumed that no one had been downloading in the last week!

    I am re-uploading to wp-content/uploads now – will this sort things, or do I need to do anything else?

    Thanks

    Other question…

    • Wordpress 2.8 Memory Usage

      With the release of wordpress 2.8 some people are experiencing out of memory php errors along the lines of:

      Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 228968 bytes)

      You may also be seeing pages fail to load fully (for example the wordpress admin dashboard) if php error messages are hidden. I’ve already had one case where we thought certain plugins were to blame but in fact it was just out of memory. A possible fix (which worked in the previously mentioned case) is to add:

      @ini_set('memory_limit','64M');

      to your wp-config file. Has anyone else encoutered this error?

    • jQuery Curvy Corners 1.x and 2.x updated and moved to Google Code

      I have updated the jQuery Curvy Corners plugins (both versions) with jQuery 1.3.2 support and other enhancements. The beta 2 version is looking good and is working in all version of IE, Opera, and Firefox (as far as I can tell).

      You can grab the latest files from Google Code here. Enjoy.

    • I’m too nice: Wordpress Download Monitor plugin page add-on now included with Download Monitor version 3.1.

      It was going to be a paid add-on, but today I had a change of heart and bundled it with the newest version of download monitor. The add-on lets you make a download page using a shortcode; it lists your downloads/categories with full sorting, pagination, and search functionality. Not bad eh? See the documentation topic to see full instructions for usage, or see my download page to see it in action.

      And if you use it, please consider making a donation to ensure the continued development of the plugin!

    • 2 Announcements: New Support forum, and feedback wanted for new download page add-on

      First, I’ve implemented a support forum to Blue Anvil mainly for plugin support and ideas which can be found here. Hopefully this will make supporting my plugins easier. Feel free to add to the discussions (there is also a general web design forum too).

      Secondly, I’ve added a demo of the new download page add-on I’m making for Download Monitor. This will be a paid add-on and it would be cool to get any feedback or suggestions from anyone who would like such a feature. My download page is here. Please leave feedback on the forum or in the comments.
