Great plugin
-
I like the flexibility of this plugin. I like that it can handle versioning without needing to modify HTML.
If you want to do much styling you will need to know the basics of CSS to give good selectors and PHP to create a template file with the selectors. The injected CSS is not easy to overide, and needs to be done with selectors. For example, the download button colors, even with using the dreaded !important rule it is not overriding the inline CSS. How to create a template file is documented, but will take a little thought.
In general, I prefer not to need to make a child theme template file for a plugin, but I can appreciate where it’s better to be able to do that than purchase an extension that still does not get me where I need to be. I also appreciate that I did not need to register the template file and that could be handled in the settings.
If it were my plugin I might consider changing the <h1> to an <h3> so it does not scream so much and wrapping the download-button with <p> and <span> elements for the children. I also think it would be good to add an option for link targets like ‘_blank’ instead of ‘nofollow’ in the admin settings.
The only other comment I have is to have a MailPoet extension. I can’t always get a client to pay for an extension, but in this case, maybe they would.
