Why Use This Plugin?
Let your readers download a whole Manga or a single Chapter as a zip file, straight from your Madara site. You decide who can download, what can be downloaded, and how often, and premium chapters stay protected.
Key Features
- Download a whole Manga or a single Chapter: a “Download Manga” button on the Manga page and a download icon next to each chapter in the chapter list
- Works with image and text chapters: image chapters are zipped with all their pages, novel chapters are zipped as text files
- Local and external storage: chapters stored on your server or on supported external storage can both be downloaded
- Clean zip structure: files are organized into Volume / Chapter folders
- Translation ready
Flexible Download Control
- Site-wide switches: turn Manga Download and Chapter Download on or off for the whole site
- Per-Manga override: each Manga has its own “Allow Download” and “Allow Chapter Download” settings: Use plugin setting, Enable Download or Disable Download
- Per-Chapter override: each Chapter can be set to Use Manga Setting, Enable or Disable. Disabled chapters are also left out of the full Manga download
- User roles: choose which user roles can download, including guests
Premium Chapter Protection
- Full integration with WP Manga – Chapter Coin: a premium chapter can only be downloaded by users who have bought it
- The full Manga zip only contains free chapters and chapters the current user has bought
- Manga authors, administrators and editors keep full access, the same as in Chapter Coin
Anti-Abuse & Security
- Download limits: set the maximum number of Manga and Chapter downloads per hour. Logged-in users are counted per account, guests per IP address
- One-time download links: each download link works only once, expires after 5 minutes and only works for the user who requested it, so links cannot be shared
- Private file storage: zip files are kept in a protected folder under random names. Their real location is never shown to visitors
- Automatic cleanup: zip files are deleted automatically 5 minutes after they are created, so your disk does not fill up
- Server-side permission checks: role, Manga, Chapter and purchase rules are checked on every download request, not only by hiding buttons
- Nonce-protected requests and permission checks on all admin actions
Built for Performance
- Optional nginx X-Accel-Redirect support: nginx sends the zip files directly, so large downloads don’t keep PHP busy
- The settings page shows the ready-to-use nginx configuration for your site
Requirements
- Madara theme
- WP Manga (Madara Core) plugin
- Optional: WP Manga – Chapter Coin and myCRED for premium chapter protection
- A valid license key to activate the plugin

- Notes for upgrading:
- Download limits are 0 (no limit) by default. Set them in Madara settings > Manga User Download Settings
- Before enabling X-Accel-Redirect, add the nginx location shown in the settings page to your server block, otherwise downloads will fail
- On nginx, .htaccess is ignored. To block direct access to the private folder, add:
location /wp-content/uploads/madara-user-download/ { deny all; } - Behind Cloudflare or a proxy, configure
real_ip_header/set_real_ip_fromin nginx, otherwise all guests share one download limit - If guest pages are cached for longer than 12 hours, the nonce in the cached page expires and guest downloads fail. Keep cache lifetime under 12 hours or exclude Manga pages from cache

madara-user-download-manga/madara-user-download-chapterajax actions must send thenonceparameter. The responsezip_pathis now a one-time download link andzip_diris no longer returned
