MimeTypes Link Icons vs Really Simple Security – Simple and Performant Security (formerly Really Simple SSL)

MimeTypes Link Icons is a plugin that looks for links to files and uploads in your blogs posts and adds a nice icon next to it. Optionally add the file’s file size next to the link. Important note on v3.0 and up: This version partially breaks backwards compatibility: the plugin now requires PHP5.1+ and WP 3.5+. Please have a look at the changelog for more information about the changes. The icons are configurable. You can choose to display a PNG with transparent background or GIF with white matte, display the icon to the left or the right of the link and choose the icon size. Each icon is available in the following sizes: 16x16px 24x24px 48x48px 64x64px 128x128px Supported File Extensions .3g2 .3gp .ai .air .asf .avi .bib .capx .cls .csv .deb .djvu .dmg .doc .docx .dwf .dwg .eps .epub .exe .f .f77 .f90 .flac .flv .gif .gz .ico .indd .iso .jpg .jpeg .key .log .m4a .m4v .midi .mkv .mov .mp3 .mp4 .mpeg .mpg .msi .msix .odp .ods .odt .oga .ogg .ogv .pages .pdf .png .pps .ppsx .ppt .pptm .pptx .psd .pub .py .qt .ra .ram .rar .rm .rpm .rtf .rv .skp .spx .sql .sty .tar .tex .tgz .tiff .ttf .txt .vob .wav .wmv .xls .xlsx .xml .xpi .zip Localization Dutch – jrf Please help make this plugin available in more languages by translating it.

The PHP filter extension needs to be enabled as well. Need more ? If you need support for this plugin or even want a completely different plugin programmed: hire Toby or Juliette! Error Reporting The plugin is causing errors/not working the way it should! First thing to check is whether you are using the latest version, if not, please upgrade and check again. If you are getting a blank screen when saving the settings, please check that the PHP filter extension is enabled – it is enabled by default in a normal PHP installation, though some disreputable webhosting companies seem to disable it. If that’s the case, contact your webhost to get them to turn it on. You can check your server php configuration using the code snippet below: debug = true; You may want to wrap this snippet in an if( WP_DEBUG === true ) {} and you can remove it once you’ve send us the output. Alternatively, you can (temporarily) change the variable in the plugin file, search for the following code snippet and change false to true: /** * @var bool Debug setting to enable extra debugging for the plugin */ var $debug = false;
