Go to **Kitgenix Document Manager** 2. Add a document (name + optional slug) and upload the initial file 3. Copy the stable URL from the table and share it 4. To update a document later, use **Edit** (modal) and upload a replacement file 5. If **Keep version history** is enabled for that document, older files will appear in the Versions panel (restore/delete) Categories: * Use the **Categories** tab to add/edit/delete categories * Assign a category when adding/editing a document Note: Inline viewing works best for PDFs and images. Office documents (DOCX/XLSX/ etc.) typically download because browsers can’t render them natively. ### Settings Settings are available under the **Settings** tab: * Allowed file extensions * Default visibility (Public/Private) * Serving mode: - Inline (browser) - Download (attachment) * Versioning defaults (keep history by default, delete old versions when history is disabled) * Private document behavior (login redirect or 403) * Delete all plugin data on uninstall (optional) Frontend card options are available under the **Frontend** tab: * Default document card button label * Button style (Outline or Solid) * Preview image size * File type/file size alignment * Button alignment * Button colors (normal + hover) * Option to open the “View” button in a new tab * Toggle showing file type and file size * Toggle showing document description * Shortcode Builder (generate a shortcode for one or multiple documents) ### Security & Caching * Private documents are not cached (no-store) and require login (or return 403) * Public documents use conditional caching (ETag/Last-Modified) so browsers/CDNs can revalidate efficiently (including 304 Not Modified responses) * Responses include security hardening headers like `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` * Private documents include `X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow` ### External Services This plugin includes a shared “Kitgenix hub” component in wp-admin which may fetch publicly available plugin metadata from WordPress.org using the WordPress core ` plugins_api()` function (WordPress.org Plugins API). * When it runs: only in wp-admin (Kitgenix plugin admin pages) * Data sent: plugin slug(s) (no personal data) * Data received: publicly available plugin information (e.g. active installs, ratings) * Caching: responses are cached locally using transients for ~1 day: - `kitgenix_hub_wporg_active_installs_v1` - `kitgenix_hub_wporg_ratings_v1` - ### Developer Notes (Internal Reference) - This section documents internal identifiers used by the plugin (useful for developers, debugging, and advanced users). #### Options (Settings) * Option name: `kitgenix_document_manager_settings` (constant: `KITGENIX_DOCUMENT_MANAGER_OPTION_NAME`) * Settings group: `kitgenix_document_manager_settings_group` * Keys (defaults): - `allowed_extensions`: `["pdf","doc","docx","xls","xlsx","ppt","pptx","txt"]`( stored as an array;

Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/ 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu. 3. Go to Kitgenix -> Document Manager. ## FAQ ### Where are files stored? When you upload a document inside Document Manager, files are stored in: wp-content/uploads/kitgenix-document-manager/ If you select an existing file from the Media Library, the plugin uses that attachment’s existing location inside your normal WordPress uploads directory. ### Why does my file download even in “Inline (browser)” mode? Browsers can only display some file types inline (PDFs, images, and many text types). For formats that the browser can’t render (e.g. DOCX/XLSX), the file will download. ### My stable link returns 404. What should I do? Go to **Settings Permalinks** and click **Save Changes** to flush rewrite rules. ### Can I restore an older file? Yes. Enable **Keep version history** for that document, then use **Edit** to open the modal and restore/delete older versions from the Versions panel. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Kitgenix Document Manager” is open source software.
