 * Hi, It appears that this plugin uses Custom Post Type, and as such it creates
   a single cpt page for each downloaded file that is set. If I click the “Disable
   the single download page for this download item” it still creates a single page
   that is available to browse via direct its permalink, and just the download button
   is not there. Is it possible that this url will not be created? why does it needed
   to create a frontend single page permalink for that? I could not disable it.
   
   10x.

 * I tested this myself in my dev site. I enabled **_“Disable the single download
   page for this download item”_**, saved the settings. Then I used a different 
   browser to view the download file URL. And it displays a message “The admin of
   this site has disabled this download item page.”. So this tells me that enabling
   that feature is working as expected.

 * As per my comment above. Also who ever lands on that URL will not be able to 
   do anything because it is disabled.

 * Unfortunately at present that URL is needed for the functionality of the plugin.
 * Kind regards.
