Im using DM Pro with Amazon S3 addon. Im using sync function to upload old files to amazon but now, any file that originally contained a space is being double encoded as %2520 which is breaking the download link.
In admin, under Attached Files, I see the link as file%20name%20etc.pdf but when I click download on the frontend, the url is showing up as file%2520name%2520etc.pdf and i get an xml error screen that shows
NoSuchKey
<key>downloads/wp-content/uploads/download-manager-files/file%20name%20etc.pdf</key>
going forward, i can ensure that there are no spaces in filenames but i have thousands of old files that need to be fixed.
solution?
My site is built using Elementor Pro, Custom Post Types, and Advanced Custom Fields. I have a single post template built in Elementor for a custom post type. The template has buttons for downloading files. The button links are currently set up to dynamically pull in a URL from a custom field.
The download URL editing process is as follows:
1. User clicks to edit or add a new post. This takes place in the WP editor, not in Elementor (the post is connected to the custom post type configured in CPT UI plugin)
2. User enters a URL for the download button into the custom field (field has been configured using ACF Pro plugin)
My issue is that WPDM uses shortcodes to link to the download package but I need a URL in this case. Do you know of a solution for my scenario? I want to keep my button designs within the Elementor template, and use ACF Pro to dynamically connect the download to the button.
Hello Seth,
Thanks for contacting WPDM support forum.
Are you using Download Notification addon of us?
Please also share the related urls of the related packages with more details. It will help me to understand clearly the issue you are facing.
Thanks

can you show me where can i Add this Response URL in your AdvCash Settings
Hello Rulz,
Glad to see you again.
1. You can add the shortcode in post, page, text editor in page builder.
2.The file info page can be disabled from link template. Just need to remove the url template tag to download link template. You can copy the default link template by providing any name as like default_new
then replace [page_url]
with [title]
to show title without links. You can use [download_url]
to output the exact link that download button does. If you can’t make it workable, just let me know.
Thanks
Hello,
Thanks for providing access.
1. Created a new template as default_new
then replace [page_url]
with [title]
to show title without links, then added direct download link there using [download_url]
, removed the [file_count]
tag. SO the shortcode is now [wpdm_archive_filter items_per_page="10" template="default_new" cols=1 colspad=1 colsphone=1]
However, you can always compare my changes with default link template file.
2. Modified the Categories to Languages and Tags to Product Line from {active-theme} > download-manager > wpdm-archive-page > filter > sidebar.php
. Remember to keep a backup of these before updating theme to keep changes.
However, In the download test page I have added that shortcode and working fine. As I default text editor there, maybe layout is changed. Sorry for that unintentional changes, I hope you can modify or create a new page according to your requirements with the shortcode.
Regards.

Hello,
I have setup my site using Dropbox addon but I now need to move to OneDrive. How do I move from Dropbox to Onedrive and update all the package URL’s. Is there anyway I can do this as a batch or do i need to link each one individually all over again? I have over 1000 packages.
Thanks,
How do I edit the ‘Member / User’ Login page
NFP Log in
I need to be able to change the ‘My Account’ URL link – at present it is directing to the ‘Home’ page https://nfpsoccer.co.uk/ ?
I would also like to be able to add new Text Boxes to this page – I have tried using the editor but anything added does not appear on the page.
Let me know if you need me to setup and account – or you can try registering using the FREE TRIAL option.
Thank you
Hi,
When someone creates a package from front-end site admin get a notification, but user shall not get any notification as he can already see it there, however, if the package is pending, author will get a notification when admin approve/publish the package.
For newsletter add-on, only subscribed users:

or users/subscribers of the selected list:

So, if you add the customers in a list or customer subscribe for the update from frontend, they shall receive package update notification.
Also, The newsletter plugin uses wp cron to check newsletter schedule and send them, but wp cron is not very reliable, so, if you don’t want to rely on wp cron, you can setup an cron job from your hosting control panel for the url http://your-site-name.com/?cron_handle=1
with call interval 5 to 30 mins.
Additionally, I can see, you are using advanced access control, using that add-on you can assign the package to specific members, and when you check the following option, assigned members will get update notification:

Finally, if you want to send notification to additional users other than the ones exaplained above, it will require some customization.
Please let me know, if you still have any question about this issue.

Hello,
Hope you are well.
This shortcode only works if the below addon with WPDM is activated. Please make sure that you are using the below addon with wpdm too. This addon is named as wpdm-archive-page in plugins.

Hi, in the dashboard user (where user see all the packages, his profile picture and can add new package…) the status of the package. In this moment I see “publish” so still in English. You should check the other statuses as well. If user click on “add new” package he see “create new package”, “enter title here”. Once he click on continue button to add package he see the form for the new package and here there is “drop files here”, “Additional previews”, “select members”, “enable form lock” and “save as draft”. On click on “url” tab he see “Insert URL”.
These are what I discovered but I don’t know if there are more…
Best regards
Hello,
Hope you are well. And sorry for the inconvenience.
According to the latest update of WPDM PRO, you also need to update the other add-ons as well. Please update them,or you can download them from here.
I hope it will work fine then. If it doesn’t work, then please provide us with your temporary wp-admin login details and site URL in a private reply for checking the issue.
It helps me to quickly figure out the issue and squash it immediately.
Thank you
the Email address shortcode will work only in email template.
However, there is no special shortcode for form lock. Special customization is needed for your exact requirements.
After trying, found a way to set a hidden form in wpforms. you can check that here , By clicking the url you will be able to see the form with the title of the package. Rather than nothing, it may be able to solve your problem.
Thanks
Hello,
Please add {his site url}?cron_sen=1

Hello simon khan,
Hope you are well. For adding package size, you may explore the doc here for Valid Data Field Names
[wpdm_all_packages] – List all downloads in tabular format in a page
and for adjusting the table column & row, please share the related URL.
And for categories filtering, can you please check this add-on and its demos,
WPDM Directory Add-on
please check and let me know
Thank you and regards
For categories hierarchy, giving access to a certain category for a particular role you have to set from the edit category option, then you have to make empty for the Allow Access
option or have to give a particular role on it like as I image attached or as usual for the select member option too,

because
Package Access = Package Access + All Category Access = All Visitors + Author = All Visitors
and Package Access = Package Access empty + Category Access(Author) = Author
or Package Access = Package Access(Author) + Category Access(Author) = Author
More details can be found in the below link,
Allow Access: Access Control Option
Hope you have understood.
And for issue #2, Can you please share the related URL for checking the issue?
Thank you and regards
