ToolDocs™

ToolDocs™ is a document management plugin for WordPress that lets you upload, organize, and share documents with your visitors through direct permalinks.

Key Features:

• Upload and manage PDF, Word, Excel, ZIP, and other file types
• Add external URLs as managed documents
• Organize documents into categories
• Generate direct permalink URLs for each document
• Embed document download links using shortcodes
• Track download counts and view per-document download history
• Export download statistics to CSV (summary, by day, by week, by month)
• File version history with configurable retention (0-4 versions)
• File usage detection across your site
• Customize shortcode icon color
• Font Awesome icon support with customizable file type icons
• Modern Vue.js admin dashboard
• REST API for programmatic access
• Developer-friendly with filters for customization

Shortcodes:

• [tooldocs_file id="X"] – Display a single document download link with file type icon
• [tooldocs_category_files category_id="Y"] – Display all documents in a category, with optional modal popup

How It Works:

1. Upload documents through the ToolDocs admin panel or add external URLs
2. Organize them into categories
