kiwi3685 on "[Plugin: Download Monitor] Stop downloads from admin users being included in the counts"

Hello,

great plugin. Is it possible to stop downloads from admin users being included in the counts? I end downloading quite a lot while testing and don't want these included in the total download counts.

Please can you advise how to do this?

Thanks!

Hey,

These should be excluded already but another solution would be to blacklist your own IP adress in the Download Monitor Settings > Access Tab > Black List Ips. You can find out your home/work IP address by visiting https://www.whatismyip.com/

Kind Regards,

I have the same issue. I want to exclude site admin downloads from appearing in counts, and ideally from inclusion on the download log table as well.
Barry, your suggestion doesn't really help, not me at least. Blacklisting my own IP prevents me from downloading completely. I want to be able to download, but have the count / log entry excluded.

Where in the code is it supposed to be excluded already? When logged in my site role is administrator, but my user name is not. Could that be the problem?
