Basically, Email goes to spam folder the reasons are,
1. You haven’t set up proper authentication
One of the biggest issues with email spam is lacking proper authentication.
Think of when people call you on the phone:
If you see it’s someone from your contacts, you’ll pick right up because you know exactly who’s calling.
If you see a random number, you might assume it’s another robocall and just ignore it.
It’s the same with emails. There are technologies that you can use to authenticate your emails which will automatically make you look more trustworthy in the eyes of spam filters. Instead of being a random number, you’ve proven who you are and that you actually control the domain name that you’re sending from.
The biggest tactics are:
DKIM (DomainKey Identified Mail)
SPF (Sender Policy Framework)
DMARC – requires you to already be using DKIM and SPF
If you’re using a custom email address and you haven’t set up these authentication methods, that’s one of the biggest reasons why your emails are going to spam. Later in this post, we’ll show you what you need to do.
2. Your sender information is inaccurate or missing
In addition to lacking technical authentication tactics like DKIM and SPF, inaccurate sender information can also cause spam issues:
Inaccurate From/Reply-To info – make sure the email address that you’re sending from matches the sender and your authentication information.
Lack of physical address – the FTC requires that you add a physical address to your bulk emails. This is why you’ll typically see an address at the bottom of every marketing email.
Add your physical address to emails
3. You’re using words or punctuation that are spam triggers
Put simply, there are just some words or punctuation patterns that seem spammy.
For example, “meet singles” or “online biz opportunity”. By themselves, these words might not be enough to land you in the spam filter. But they will attract attention and, when combined with some of the other issues on the list, can end up with your emails going to spam.
Additionally, avoid other spammy tactics like:
ALL CAPITALS
Lots of exclamation marks!!!!!!
An onslaught of emojis ❤✨🔥👍🥺 (a few emojis are ok – just don’t abuse them)
Similarly, using poor grammar or misspelling words can also trigger spam filters, as many spammers use machine translation to translate their spam emails into English.
4. You’re using a bad email list
If you’re sending bulk emails to a list of subscribers, there are a few things that can get you into hot water:
No permission – if you didn’t receive explicit opt-in from subscribers, that can lead to spam issues.
Stale list – if your list contains lots of inactive/disabled email accounts where emails bounce, that looks spammy to filters.
Low engagement – if your emails have very low open rates, ISPs might take this as a sign that your subscribers don’t want your emails, which can increase the list of getting marked as spam.
5. You’re linking to shady websites or using misleading links
The main purpose of most spam emails is to get you to click on some type of link, so it’s no surprise that using the wrong types of links can get you in trouble when it comes to spam.
There are two main things that can cause issues here:
First, you might be linking to a website that seems spammy for some reason. For example, maybe it’s associated with copyright infringement, has been infected with malware, or some other reason. Or, maybe it’s totally legit, but it’s very close to another domain that is spammy.
Second, you can get in trouble if the destination URL doesn’t match with the display URL. For example, if the display URL is https://google.com but the actual link is https://anotherwebsite.com, that can get you into trouble because this is a common tactic that spammers use to trick people into clicking links.
Similarly, using URL shorteners can also cause issues for the same reason (you might be trying to trick people into clicking links they might not otherwise click on).
6. You’re using too many images (or not enough text with images)
Images can also get you into trouble with spam filters.
There are two ways that this can happen:
First off, if you have a large image in your email and little to no text, that can trigger spam filters. This one ties to the “spam words” point from above. To avoid getting hit with spam filters for using spammy words, some spammers moved to including all of the text in a single image file, rather than as actual text.
Because of this, sending a single image looks suspicious to spam filters.
You can also run into problems in the other direction, though. If you use a lot of images and very little text, that can also get you into trouble.
Basically, using images as a replacement for text can get you into trouble, don’t do that!
7. You’re sending too many attachments
Because attachments are used for distributing malware or other malicious activities, they’re always going to attract attention from spam filters, especially certain file types (like an .exe file).
8. Your recipient marked you as spam (maybe accidentally)
In many email clients, users have an option to manually mark emails as spam.
If the person who you’re trying to email previously marked your emails as spam, new emails that you send will also likely end up in the spam folder as well.
Additionally, if you’re sending out bulk emails, too many people marking your emails as spam can negatively affect your reputation as a sender. This can increase the chances of your emails ending up in spam even when you send to people who didn’t mark you as spam.
I hope you have understood
thanks
Hi Nayeem
I’m not sure I understand your comment Which <div> are we talking about the main templates div? or is it the div that surrounds the Shortcode.
My content template had the following divs
<div class=”container main_cont”>
<div id=”the_content”>
<?php if (isset($author)){ echo “<p class=’author’>By ” . $author . “</p>”; } ?>
<?php if ( $lead ) : ?>
<?php echo “<div class=’first-paragraph’>” . $lead . “</div>”; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class=”content-back-white”>
<?php the_content() ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Hi,
Please use the dropbox add-on https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/dropbox-explorer/ instead of using direct dropbox URL
thanks
Hi,
I have checked that with this package, https://www.eftex.dk/downloader/wpdm-test/, WPDM Cart is working fine. When you attach files from media library as URL WPDM simply redirect to that URL when a user clicks on the download button, but when you upload a file directly or attach a file from server as server path, WPDM handles the download process and so there it can decide whether the file will open in browser or force download. So, if your file is already in the media library, and you want them to download instead of open in browser, please attach those files using the server file browser instead of the medial library file selector. Moreover,
When attaching a file from the media library, it is added as URL, for URL ( local or remote ), only single file download will work, I think you would better use uploading file from select files option, it is working fine for file-cart option
Thanks.

by default, you are using link-template-default.php
for link template and page-template-default.php
for the page template. you can follow this doc, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/ for back-up your files, As documentation, you have to copy the file in the theme directory naming a folder called download-manager, then paste it in tpls>page-templates
for page template or tpls>link-templates
for link template.
For opening in new windows, please add this code replacing [download_link]
in page/link templates PHP file as i described above,
<a href="[download_url]" onclick="window.open('[download_url]','newwindow','width=1200,height=800'); return false;" class="btn btn-primary" target="_blank">[link_label]</a>
thanks

Hi – I’m trying to setup the PAD importer and it all works, but I need a slight configuration change. I want just the PAD submit URL field and not the email field. Basically so anyone can just submit a PAD file rather than have to put in an email address. I know it can be done as I’ve done it before, but I cannot remember how to do it!
Any ideas?

Hello,
So everything is working, checked the php file but I can not find a way to edit this space: https://pedrasriscas.pt/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Captura-de-ecrã-2020-10-28-às-10.18.29.png
Can you please help me?
The file code is:
<!– WPDM Link Template: 1 Column, Extended –>

</div>
please check from Settings > General
WordPress Address (URL) Site Address (URL) same or not, I think this also cause the issue, please check further,
thanks
There also available default link and page template in the package settings > dropdown page or link templates
, but if you want to bulk apply to the all packages, you can use this add-on, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-default-values/, and for login issue, please share your package URL
thanks
I have the same issue, no cache turned on expect by default in browser. Perhaps the solution would be to add a random parameter at the end of url like ?random=04u3r10r032rweq to prevent browser from caching the link…
Hi,
Here are the answers to your questions:
#1. Yes, please use redirect=[URL]
parameter with the login form shortcode to redreict the user to any specific [URL]
. Doc: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_login_form-user-login-form-short-code/
#2. Sorry, not clear, may you please explain little more.
#3. Here is the doc: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/add-new-package/package-settings/
no! I actually added a new Volume to my digital ocean account which is /mnt/volume_nyc1_05. My default volume is full, so i want this new volume to work in your plugin. Since I configured the volume properly, I changed the directory or file browser URL to the new /mnt/volume_nyc1_05. If i upload any new file, it fails! Not uploading it to the new volume. It’s still trying to upload to the old volume.
are you looking for such add-on which will help your Digital Ocean Volume, you can elaborate more on your query, or share your page/package URL
thanks
Solved this myself by copying the code you use in wpdm-functions.php function wpdm_logout_url so my finalised code for my custom function is:
/* ADD NONCE TO LOGOUT LINK */
function change_menu($items){
foreach($items as $item){
if( $item->title == "Logout"){
$item->url = $item->url . "=" . wp_create_nonce(NONCE_KEY);
}
}
return $items;
}
add_filter('wp_nav_menu_objects', 'change_menu');
Where the change was from
$item->url = $item->url . "=" . wp_create_nonce( 'login' );
TO
$item->url = $item->url . "=" . wp_create_nonce(NONCE_KEY);
For anyone interested in having TWO wordpress menus – one for logged in ( named logged-in ) and one for logged out ( named logged-out ) that switch when you are logged in or not PLUS having a Logout Link that behaves just like the WPDM logout links AND the ability to display login text messages to people not logged in, the three adds to your child theme functions.php is as follows:
/* LOGGED IN / LOGGED OUT MENU */
function my_wp_nav_menu_args( $args = '' ) {
if( is_user_logged_in() ) {
$args['menu'] = 'logged-in';
} else {
$args['menu'] = 'logged-out';
}
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_args', 'my_wp_nav_menu_args' );
/* ADD NONCE TO LOGOUT LINK */
function change_menu($items){
foreach($items as $item){
if( $item->title == "Logout"){
$item->url = $item->url . "=" . wp_create_nonce(NONCE_KEY);
}
}
return $items;
}
add_filter('wp_nav_menu_objects', 'change_menu');
/* LOGGED OUT MESSAGE TO REGISTER OR LOGIN */
add_shortcode( 'visitor', 'visitor_check_shortcode' );
function visitor_check_shortcode( $atts, $content = null ) {
if ( ( !is_user_logged_in() && !is_null( $content ) ) || is_feed() )
return $content;
return '';
}
To use the visitor only text shortcode in a page or widget just do E.G.:
[visitor]
<div class=”card card-body bg-light”>
You must register or login
to download files from this site.</div>
[/visitor]
Thanks,
Ben
