WP-Members Download Protect 1.4.3

This is a simple update to WP-Members Download Protect. 

This update fixes an issue that previously did not allow a file’s title to be added, updated, or changed without also uploading (or actually “re”uploading) the file.  If the file upload was empty, no changes could be made.  That is changed in this update so you can edit the file name if desired without changing the file.

There is also a fix for the [wpmem_file] shortcode that, if there was no title for the file, would leave no text for the link.  This made it look as if there was no output for the file link.  There was output, but it was simply the HTML link – but no text to display it.  This problem is fixed in a couple of different ways.  First, if there is no title, there is a default fallback text “Download File.”

Then, as a second option for the above, I’ve added a “title” attribute for the shortcode.  If there is no title, and if you don’t put one in – or if you would rather just add a custom title, use it as follows:

[wpmem_file the_file_key title="My Custom Link Title"]
