Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Smart Download Redirector

Links in posts, pages, blocks (also navigation, headers and footers of block themes) and widgets that match one of your link rules. Links with the class "smartdr-skip" and links that contain one of your exclusions stay as they are.

Yes. Turn on "Send every link to another website through the countdown", or add single domains. Links to web pages get their own screen ("You are leaving this website", "Continue to example.com") with their own texts in the settings. Links to files keep the download screen.

Links that match the file type rule or point to your media library are downloads, as well as links whose address ends with a file ending like .zip or .pdf. Everything else is an external link. Developers can change this with the filter smartdr_target_kind.

Yes. Countdown links are signed with a fixed secret key instead of a nonce, so they never expire. Statistics are sent from the browser, so they are counted even when the countdown page comes from a cache. The download limit only works for pages that are not cached.

Per target URL and day: how often the countdown was shown and how often the download started. Nothing else. No IP addresses, no cookies, no data is sent to other services. Each visitor counts once per file and browser session. Administrators are not counted unless you turn that on.

The block has its own layout setting. Colors, corners, texts and timing are set once in Settings > Download Redirector.

They are taken over when you update: domains, countdown time, layout (Standard becomes Card, Compact becomes Inline, Progressbar becomes Minimal), heading, link text, counter color, corner radius, download limit and your download page. Links created with version 1.x keep working.
