WP Attachments – Smarter File Management & Download Lists
v6.1 · by Marco Milesi
Attach files to any post or page and let WP Attachments list them for you, with icons, file sizes and a download counter.
About this plugin
WP Attachments turns the files you upload to a post into a clean, automatic download list. Attach a file while editing, and it shows up under your content — no manual links, no shortcodes to remember.
It also fills the gaps in the WordPress Media Library, letting you attach, unattach and reattach files without leaving the screen you are on.
