<p>MimeTypes Link Icons is a plugin that looks for links to files and uploads in your blogs posts and adds a nice icon next to it. Optionally add the file’s file size next to the link.</p>
<p><strong>Important note on v3.0 and up</strong>: This version partially breaks backwards compatibility: the plugin now requires PHP5.1+ and WP 3.5+. Please have a look at the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/mimetypes-link-icons/changelog/" rel="ugc">changelog</a> for more information about the changes.</p>
<p>The icons are configurable. You can choose to display a PNG with transparent background or GIF with white matte, display the icon to the left or the right of the link and choose the icon size.</p>
<p>Each icon is available in the following sizes:</p>
<ul>
<li>16x16px</li>
<li>24x24px</li>
<li>48x48px</li>
<li>64x64px</li>
<li>128x128px</li>
</ul>

<h4>Localization</h4>
<ul>
<li>Dutch – <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/profile/jrf" rel="ugc">jrf</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Please help make this plugin available in more languages by translating it. The translation files are included in the download. See the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/mimetypes-link-icons/faq/" rel="ugc">FAQ</a> for more info.</p>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<p>Since version 3.0, the plugin now requires PHP5.2+ and WP 3.5+.<br />
The PHP filter extension needs to be enabled as well.</p>
<h4>Need more ?</h4>
<p>If you need support for this plugin or even want a completely different plugin programmed: hire <a href="http://blog.eagerterrier.co.uk/" rel="nofollow ugc">Toby</a> or <a href="http://adviesenzo.nl/" rel="nofollow ugc">Juliette</a>!</p>
<h3>Error Reporting</h3>
<h4>The plugin is causing errors/not working the way it should!</h4>
<p>First thing to check is whether you are using the latest version, if not, please upgrade and check again.</p>
<p>If you are getting a blank screen when saving the settings, please check that the PHP filter extension is enabled – it is enabled by default in a normal PHP installation, though some disreputable webhosting companies seem to disable it. If that’s the case, contact your webhost to get them to turn it on.</p>
<p>You can check your server php configuration using the code snippet below:<br />
    <php<br />
    phpinfo();</p>
<p>If the error persists, please report any errors you are getting in the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mimetypes-link-icons" rel="ugc">WP forum</a> or on <a href="https://github.com/eagerterrier/MimeTypes-Link-Icons" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a>. Error reporting is much appreciated as it will improve the plugin for everyone!</p>
<p>We’ll need at least the following information:</p>
<ul>
<li>the complete error message if there is any</li>
<li>a description of the problem</li>
<li>the version number of the plugin you are using</li>
<li>preferably a link to a page where we can see the error</li>
<li>depending on the error: the WP version you are using and the PHP version WP is running on</li>
</ul>
<p>Sometimes we may need information on the settings you are using. If you have <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG" rel="nofollow ugc"><code>WP_DEBUG</code></a> set to <code>true</code>, you will see a list of the plugin settings at the bottom of the MimeType Link Icons settings page.</p>
<p>On rare occasions, like with problems with the filesize functions, we may need even more information. We will then ask you to turn on a plugin-specific debugging option.</p>
<p>To do so, please add the following to your (child-)theme’s functions.php file:</p>
<pre><code>$GLOBALS['mimetypes_link_icons']->debug = true;
</code></pre>
<p>You may want to wrap this snippet in an <code>if( WP_DEBUG === true ) {}</code> and you can remove it once you’ve send us the output.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can (temporarily) change the variable in the plugin file, search for the following code snippet and change <code>false</code> to <code>true</code>:</p>
<pre><code>/**
 * @var bool    Debug setting to enable extra debugging for the plugin
 */
var $debug = false;
</code></pre>
