My host just updated Download Manager for me due to a security problem. The new version does not work, and the links are very ugly, as reported days ago. Clicking on a link, this message comes up: “Wuup_QRf.pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.”

I might have moved on to the Pro version if there was any sign it works, but if the free “light” version has ugly links, and the download isn’t accessible, how do I know the full version is any better?

From version 2.7.* Download Manager Free moved to custom post type for better performance and security issue. After you upgrade to version 2.7.*, you need to migrate your previous versions’ data. To migrate your old version data to new version, goto Admin Menu Downloads Settings Migrate Tab of your WordPress admin panel. Follow the instructions written their.

Things to remember:
1. You need to manually re-assign download icon for every post from Admin Menu Downloads All Files

2. You need to reassign categories for each files manually.

3. Existing Category ShortCode will not work, you need to change all category ShortCode manually. However, you can install Advanced TinyMCE button AddOns for free to easily place shortcode in a page or post.

4. You can install Free AddOns to extend functionality for Download Manager.

*If you don’t want to do update to the latest version, you can still use Download Manager Version 2.6.96

I previously tried migrating and changing shortcodes. The files won’t download. I got an error similar to the one reported above, though I can no longer find my previous post here.
I can’t still use 2.6.96 – that’s what I was doing when my host updated for me:

“WP Download Manager has released a new version 2.7.6 for their plugin. A recent hack was found in older versions of this plugin that allows an attacker to execute remote code. This would allow an attacker to insert a backdoor to your WordPress Website (no authentication required).

Over the next 48 hours we will be making every attempt to upgrade your WP Download Manager plugin to the most recent version 2.7.6. We strongly encourage you to check your plugin version(s) to make sure”…etc.

If you ever get it all fixed, let me know – I’ve been up all night switching everything to “Download Monitor”.

Nothing else to fix there now, you simply need to use latest version. All security issue is already fixed. Download issue is coming probably because your server is not supporting output buggering, in that case, from download manager settings page disable “Resumable Downloads”

Well, I uninstalled and reinstalled. I uploaded a fresh file. I got the same error on my test page. I disabled “Resumable Downloads”, saved the setting, and was able to download the file. I went back to settings, and the enable option was selected again. I was still able to download the file. So, I don’t know if that will fix it for additional files, or whether I need to go through the disable/enable step for each file, but it will work.

As for the ugly links that don’t fit in my sidebar, can I assume that is something the Pro version will allow me to fix?

I have a similar issue. When I disable the “Resumable Download” option it doesn’t get save. If I go into the settings page again it shows as enable.

Any ideas?
