41,730 PointsTrack File Downloads with Wordpress and .htaccess
I am currently moving my store from straight code to Wordpress and trying to add some new features along the way. When a user downloads a file, I would like to track the number of times that file has been downloaded. I found this post
https://blog.gaya.ninja/articles/download-counter-in-php-using-htaccess/
I tried to make it work with Wordpress, but I can't seem to get it to work correctly. I keep getting an error with the fopen()
fopen failed to open stream no such file or directory.
The file path is correct, but it looks for the file within the theme, but wordpress keeps the content outside of the theme folder.
Any help would be great.
