Hands off if you don’t want to fiddle with the code yourself! The thing no longer
runs on current configurations (WP 6.2, PHP 8.1) as it is. I have distributed a 
lot of download cards, all of which are now unusable and I am confronted with a 
lot of (rightly) raging and angry people.I have tried to change the curved brackets
etc., but fatal errors always occur. It’s a real shame, because the plugin and its
concept is really great and quite unique in itself.

I love this plugin and have been using it for years. it’s currently broken in WordPress
5.7.2 on PHP 7.3. I’ll change this rating to a 5 star review if it gets fixed. But
as of right now, I’m kinda left high and dry with a large music catalog and download
cards in circulation that do not work.

Dear developpers, this is a great plug-in and easy to use. But regular updates would
be useful – escpecially for the newest WP version and PHP 7.3 and 7.4.

Brilliant plugin! I had to add one line of code to ‘shortcode.php’ within the admin
folder. At roughly line 66: $wpdb->insert( dc_tbl_downloads(), array( 'code' => 
$code->ID, 'IP' => $IP), array( '%d', '%s') ); Other than that, seems great!

Would love some features and security updates though. Thank you for this great plugin
dear developer! 5 stars for the plugin (can’t believe you are the only one who care
about music download code!) 4.5 stars for the lack of updates 😉 Phil
