## Popis

**Smart DL Redirect** is a lightweight and powerful WordPress plugin that lets you
add a timer-based interstitial page before a file download starts.

It’s perfect for:
 – Affiliate marketers – Download site owners – Resource-sharing
blogs – Anyone who wants to delay download with ads or messages

Once a visitor clicks a download link, they are redirected to a customizable **„
preparing download“** page, where a timer counts down, shows ads or custom HTML,
and then auto-redirects to the actual file.

**Important — redirect behavior:** This plugin redirects the visitor’s browser to
the file URL you provide — the plugin does **not** download, host, or proxy the 
file server-side. Authors should only supply links to files they trust.

**Ad/snippet sanitization:** Any ad/snippet HTML entered in the plugin settings 
is sanitized using `wp_kses_post()` before output. Note that `wp_kses_post()` strips`
<script>` tags and other potentially dangerous elements — if your ad provider requires
inline scripts, follow the provider’s recommended safe-install instructions or use
a trusted ad plugin.

### ✨ Key Features

 * ⏱️ **Countdown Timer** – Set the delay (in seconds) before download starts.
 * 🎯 **Auto-Redirect** – Automatically starts the file download when timer ends.
 * 🧰 **Manual Fallback Link** – If download fails, users can click a manual download
   link.
 * 💡 **Ad Placement or Custom HTML** – Insert ads, promotional banners, or instructions
   in the waiting area.
 * 🧩 **Easy Shortcode Usage** – Just add `[smart_dl file="https://example.com/file.
   zip"]` to any post or page.
 * ⚙️ **Lightweight and Fast** – No external dependencies, optimized for performance.

## Instalace

 1. Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/smart-dl-redirect` directory,
    or install it via the WordPress dashboard.
 2. Activate the plugin through the „Plugins“ menu.
 3. Visit **Settings  Smart DL Redirect** to configure the timer duration, ad content,
    and redirect slug.
 4. Use the shortcode `[smart_dl file="https://example.com/file.zip"]` wherever you
    want to offer a delayed download.

## Nejčastější dotazy

### What does this plugin do?

It adds a delay (with optional ads or custom content) before the user receives their
file. It’s often used for monetization or engagement purposes.

### How do I use the shortcode?

Insert `[smart_dl file="URL_TO_FILE"]` in any post or page. This creates a link 
to the redirect page, which will count down and then trigger the download.

### Can I change the number of seconds for the countdown?

Yes. Go to **Settings  Smart DL Redirect** and change the timer value.

### Can I show ads or banners on the countdown page?

Yes. There is a dedicated field in the settings page where you can paste any HTML,
ad script, or message.

### Does it support direct links to any file type?

Yes. As long as it’s a valid, publicly accessible file URL, the plugin will handle
it.

### Will it affect SEO?

No. The redirect page is a regular page created on activation and not auto-linked,
so it won’t interfere with SEO unless intentionally indexed.
