# Download Scripts?

 * Hi,
 * The analytics work well, but there are 3 download links to PDF files that require
   a PHP file on the site. Analyticator doesn’t count these. I have attempted to
   go into Google Analytics and the PHP files to fix this, but am stumped – what
   they suggest doesn’t appear to work. Is there something inherent to this plug-
   in that will prevent download scripts associated with external PHP files? Or,
   simply put, something associated with this plug-in that prevents what I am talking
   about? Any tips will be appreciated!

 * Hi There,
 * Your issue is unrelated to this plugin. Depending on how you have your download
   links setup you’ll have to implement some event tracking on those links to get
   the data into Analytics. Here’s some documentation on that
