Check files exists
Checks to see if a file exists on your server.
Wait, does that file exist?
Overview
Convention over configuration. Sometimes it’s easier to just upload 500 files through FTP than to upload them individually item by item through your website’s backend. This plugin makes it easier to assume that product 343’s PDF manual is on your file server and can be downloaded without a broken link.
You can use this plugin to test for a file’s existence before providing a download link (or any other use you can think of.)

root_path: (optional) the server's path to the root of the file (useful if your file is not available at a publicly accessible location; http://something )
wrap_left: (optional) HTML or text that will appear before the file name (if it exists)
wrap_right: (optional) HTML or text that will appear after the file name (if it exists)
