Hello, the plugin produces these warnings, when used shortcode for the list. Warning: Illegal string offset 'echo' in wp-content/plugins/download-attachments/includes/shortcodes.php on line 66 Warning: Illegal string offset 'title' in wp-content/plugins/download-attachments/includes/shortcodes.php on line 69 Warning: Cannot assign an empty string to a string offset in wp-content/plugins/download-attachments/includes/shortcodes.php on line 69 Warning: Illegal string offset 'title' in wp-content/plugins/download-attachments/includes/shortcodes.php on line 72 And I have front page made of one most recent post. The list doesn’t show there and I couldn’t find any option that would enable it. Please fix. Great idea and plugin. I will change the review, when improved. Thanks
