## Опис

This plugin will fix long filename problems on Windows systems when doing updates
from third-party plugin repositories, such as updating from EDD based sites.

**Usage Scenarios:**

We’ve found that users on Windows systems that are upgrading themes and plugins 
from a third-party repository, such as an Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) site have
problems. They will see an error message of „Update Failed: Could not create directory…“.
The reason for this is that during the update process, the file name requested from
the EDD site has the product name, user name and other information encoded within
it so that EDD knows who is requesting the file. This results in a very long file
name. This is not necessarily a problem WordPress itself, or even EDD, as this works
on non-Windows systems. But if you are running WordPress on Windows and see this
error, it is because of the long file name requested.

If you are using DesktopServer for your local development on Windows and would like
to use the Windows Compatibility Fix plugin as a Design Time plugin, you can install
this in your C:\xampplite\ds-plugings directory and it can then be automatically
activated and used with all of your local development web sites. This allows you
to use the plugin in your local environment, where it’s needed and not to deploy
it to your live environment where it may not be needed. For more information on 
DesktopServer and local development tools, please visit our web site at: https://
serverpress.com/get-desktopserver/

Because this fix is only needed on Windows systems, the plugin checks the operating
system on which it is running and does not initialize itself. If you are having 
problems with the update process on non-Windows systems, it is more likely an issue
with directory permissions.

**How it Works:**

The Windows Compatibility Fix plugin uses a couple of WordPress filters employed
during the update process. It modifies the name of the file that is downloaded to
your system, shortening it to just a few characters. This allows WordPress’s update
process to work correctly on Windows systems by not creating the long file name 
in the first place.

I was trying to unsuccessfully update a plugin on my windows server. It took me 
hours of all the messing with file permissions and stuff until I found this plugin
and it worked like a charm! Thank you so very much!

I had a plugin that wouldn’t update on my windows local server. I was pointed to
this plugin as a fix for long filenames, and wow, immediate success! Thanks, Dave!!
PS: I’ve got a tiny fix for you here. 🙂 Your plugin title here has the typo „compatability“,
and I think you want „compatibility“ there. Interestingly, the plugin URL is already
good, so no problem with that!
