WordPress Traffic Limiter 24. September 2009
Traffic Limiter is a useful addon for blogs with many media files which can cause high data traffic.
There are three traffic limits to avoid over traffic costs: daily, weekly and monthly limit. If one of these limits is exceeded downloads will either be redirected to a custom URL or a custom message is displayed. For images you can define a fallback icon which is displayed instead of the message. Additionally a download bandwidth can be set for registered users and guests.
Also included is a statistic system which displays the current traffic consumption and individual file stats to see which media produces the most traffic.
If the Apache extension mod_rewrite is installed download links stay the same, if not links to media files are automatically redirected. It is recommended to install mod_rewrite, although this plugin works without this extension.
I tried it on WPMU 2.8.6

“The upload path wp-content/blogs.dir/12/files does not exists. Please create it and make it writable for PHP”

Hello Fabian
I install the traffic limiter and when I go to Media –> Traffic Limiter I get an error at the top of the page: * The upload path does not exists. Please create it and make it writable for PHP * . Could you please help me resolve this issue. I am new to WordPress. The wordpress version I use is 3.0.1.
Thank you
Hello ,
i downloaded yesterday Traffic limiter and then found out that it’s not the plugin i want.
when i removed it from remove plugin i found out that some of my media files ( gif and flash files) doesn’t show in my web site.
if i downloaded it again it shows up again so now i need to keep the plugin running in order to show my media files.
tell me what can i do to roll back this action and be able to view my site normally with the gif files and flashes
Marc, you have to delete the “.htaccess” file in your wp-content/uploads directory. It’s usually hidden in FTP clients, check your clients settings to enabled display of hidden files.
Thanks alot Fabi
it worked you made my day
