## Description

Simple, easy, lightweight download manager with password protection

### Features

This download management plugin is designed to be light and easy to use.

 1. Basically all downloads are password protected. This also prevents downloads by
    bots etc.
 2. A single shortcode and download URL are created as the download data.
 3. All types of files for download can be uploaded with the Media Uploader if the 
    user has administrative privileges.

Functions added by addons

 1. Generate a password with an expiration date.
 2. Information and Update manager for WordPress themes and plugins not registered 
    on the WordPress official website.

### How to use

If you want to download from your own site’s posting page, etc., write the shortcode[
celtisdl_download id=”123″] in the content.
 If you want to send download information
via email, etc., send the download URL and password to the recipient.

There is no functionality to style the download button in various ways, but you 
can use filter hooks to change the style of the button.
 Alternatively, if you are
using a block editor, you can set the download URL in the link of the button block
and set the button style in the block editor.

The plugin requires a download password, but there are two ways to bypass this requirement.

 1. For example, if you want to download from a page such as a checkout page without
    requiring a password, you can register the URL of that checkout page and download
    without entering a password.
 2. Logged-in users can download without entering a password if they have the registered
    user capability.
