Always Do Your Own Usability Tests
I learned a valuable lesson the hard way today. The lesson being, always test your WordPress site after you activate or deactivate a plugin.
It turns out using the WordPress Multibox Plugin on my site was locking visitors out from being able to download zip compressed files if that download link used an image for the link. It’s been going on for at least 2 or 3 weeks. I’m baffled as to why it took that long to hear from anyone.
The cause was that the image, which is a .gif, was listed as one of the image types the plugin should apply to. Since I probably won’t use a .gif for anything I’d want the Multibox Plugin to act on, I removed it from the list of file extensions. Problem solved easily.
So, the moral of the story is test, test again and then test some more when making any kind of change to your site.
