This is a great plugin, but would be even greater with the addition of an Option (actually 2 options), which would be:

1. Add support for Post Tags (the post tags were unregistered in the version I initially installed and custom tags added instead). For our purposes, we need to associate downloadable assets with post content via the Post Tags. By removing support for Post Tags, the only other way would have forced us to create custom tags and then go back through many thousands of posts to add those Tags – that was not workable with the amount of content we have, so I hacked the plugin to add back in support for Post Tags and remove the Custom Tags since we don’t need them;

SO toggle option to support – or not – Post Tags would be a welcome addition.

2. Add the option to disable (not use) Custom Tags if they’re not needed. Some users might like them, others like us don’t need them, so again a toggle option to add – or not – Custom Tags would also be a welcome addition.

I’m just getting ready to update to the current version but must download it first (not use the “update now” feature in my Plugins page) and hack the new version, then upload it after hacking it again.

If you could add these Options – or at the very least the ability to support Post Tags so we can use those – to a future version (hopefully soon) then I won’t need to continue hacking it…..I’d really much rather use auto-updates or even 1-click updates so your consideration will be gratefully appreciated!

Use can add constant define('WPDM_USE_POST_TAGS', true); in your wp-config.php to keep post tag instead of custom wpdm tags.

Thank you so much Shahjada for the suggestion, I did not know I could use wp-config.php for that! I’ll use that instead of hacking the plugin. Much appreciated!!

I can confirm that adding that (“define(‘WPDM_USE_POST_TAGS’, true);”) to my wp-config.php file does not work. It does not give me access to my Post Tags when adding new assets, and still creates the menu item for “custom” Tags that I DON’T want, because my users don’t then get to choose from Post Tags, they start creating duplicate Tags …..it’s very frustrating to try to control my users behaviour when it would be much simpler if this plugin would simply support Post Tags.

I love this plugin, but I cannot understand why you cannot simply allow for supporting Post Tags as an option in the admin settings for your plugin. Supporting Post Tags is a no-brainer – why would you assume that NO ONE wants to associate downloadable content with Post content, using the Tags that are already assigned to Post Content? This seems like a basic need for most webmasters.

PLEASE I’M IMPLORING YOU to consider this simple request. I have to hack this plugin every time there is an update and it’s very frustrating.

ALSO it’s very frustrating that the support for Custom Templates is so wonky…..I removed ALL Templates except for the custom ones I created for links and pages, but the plugin STILL forces me to scroll down and manually choose those Templates instead of simply using my custom templates as the “default” in the absence of other templates…..what is the use of setting a “default” if I still have to select it manually for each and every asset?
