This plugin will record clicks of shortcode <code>[downloadCount]</code> and shows it on posts list. Comes convenient if you’re a setting up 
a site to use download pages of products/publications as posts. Multiple shortcodes won’t work since it’s on the convention of 
one product per post.
Things make it nice:
<ul>
<li>Easily add this literally short shortcode [downloadCount] and get your link appeared.</li>
<li>Numerous HTML attributes are available so you can customize as you wish.</li>
<li>View download count right from the WP post list.</li>
<li>No dashboard menu entry (yet) to help you keep the backend clean.</li>
<li>Optimized speed with minimal resource usage.</li>
<li>It’s not just for downloads but any link you prefer to be tracked.</li>
</ul>
Shortcode attributes:
<ul>
<li>link= Your link to the download. Protocol (http/https) must be mentioned.</li>
<li>title= Text to be appeard as the link. Default: “Download”.</li>
<li>style= For CSS inline styles.</li>
<li>class= For CSS classes.</li>
</ul>
Tip: You can use even icons (or HTML codes) on <code>title</code> attribute.
Example shortcode: 
 [downloadCount link=”http://thambaru.com” title=”My website” style=”text-decoration:none;” class=”btn btn-success”]

Download Count

Counts downloads by shortcode and shows it on a column of posts list.

UPGRADE AT YOUR OWN RISK: We’ve added a legacy feature to the plugin which has been tested and is working on our local WordPress install. However, every environment is different, if you run into problem please visit http://blackbirdi.com/blog for support.
When used with Custom Post Type UI plug-in (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/) and Advanced Custom Fields plug-in (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/), you can easily list all of the posts within a post-type and sort by regular or custom fields.
Updated and tested on latest version of WordPress (4.0)
Most updates are because of users responding with requests. If you feel there is something that you would like to see in the plugin visit our site and post a comment.
Enjoy!
