1. WPDM Block Hotlink add-on will help you to block hotlink to download URL from the external site. You must have to click on download button placed in your site to download packages. The external site can only place the link with your page.
You can try putting the download link on another domain site and see if it can be downloaded. Because the plugin will block the download.
2. If you want to show you packages on any page or homepage, you can try shortcodes like All packages list, here’s the demo. Or You can use category shortcode on the page, here is the demo.
I am using a category short-code to display all the packages in a category as cards. The packages included in this category have titles that vary in length. Some of the titles are long enough that they are displayed on multiple lines (wrap text) and others are only one line. This causes the cards to not display properly in a 4 x 3 grid. I tried fixing the height of the [page_link], but then the size of the browser window can cause some of the titles to be hidden.
Is there a way to make the top of the cards in each row line up no matter how long the titles are?
Here is my catergory display short-code:
[wpdm_category id="infrastake" title="InfraStake" desc="These are InfraStake files" toolbar="1" order_by="title" order="asc" item_per_page="12" template="5a94448318a7e" cols=4 colspad=2 colsphone=1]
Here is my card template code:
<div class=”list-group wpdm-lt-card” style=”margin: 0 0 15px 0″>
<div class=”list-group-item”>

Hey everyone – just a heads up, I have a work around for this bug. In your template (for example: /wp-content/themes/yourtheme/download-manager/page-templates/product.php)
Edit your code by adding “download” as described here. <a class="btn" href="[download_url]" download>DOWNLOAD FILE <i class="fa fa-download" ></i></a>
thank you very much. Just another question. Is it correct that the buttons „Browse, URL, Lock-Options and Icons“ does not work at Frontpage-Uploader.
If I click on “Add download package“ at Frontpage-Uplader the file will be uploaded, but the field contents in the individual input fields will remain. Is this normal?
1 ) Save only the image URL in the custom field. Then use this URL in your custom template to show the image via the img tag.
2 ) Sory, Not sure what you meant. If you want you can activate the download archive ( from the option in your screenshot 1 ).
Yes, you can show only the category. Add following code in your theme’s functions.php to add a custom template tag for categories with no link,
– Category archive page URLs look like https://www.site.com/downloads/package-category/ Here downloads is category URL base. I meant before you can change this URL base if you want from Dashboard Settings Basic URL Structure Panel.
-You can set login required or permission denied message ( when the user can’t access the package ) from settings. But your link/page template should have [download_link] tag for that.
– https://www.dxf-downloads.de/category/downloads/3d-drucker-stl/ is the archive for your post category 3D Drucker .stl It is not download category archive. Download category archive url will look like this https://www.dxf-downloads.de/downloads/download-category
you can change the url slug downloads from WPDM Basic settings.
Some of your files only for premium users that means the “premium user” custom option is empty in other packages. So, you can utilize that in your custom link/page template.
When a field is empty you can hide that by adding a class in the template code. example: adding this [hide_empty:version] in the wraping element/div of version will hide the element if version is empty.
Please send me the URL to suggest required CSS adjustments. Send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply if you want me to check the custom template code and make the premium field visible only when there is a value.
Scroll down to the “Case Studies” section (after videos).
Each of the thumbnails on this page link to whitepapers tracked by WPDM. They are just regular images with captions, linked to the packages, not using the WPDM link template.
An example of one existing package in working order, without any need for an email lock, this uses the WPDM Page template above:
What I want is to create a “download” button on a page, which then requires the user to provide email address before downloading. The PDF preview shown in the above example is not required, I just used it because it’s our standard template.
I’m fine with a direct download or email link……but the problem is that I can’t get the email input form to display anywhere in this process and I’m not sure what part of the sequence I’ve got wrong.
Using a custom thumbnail image for the custom icon does not work. I tried adding a custom thumbnail image and the icon displayed is the unknown.svg icon, not the thumbnail image that was added. Does the custom icon URL work with jpg files?
In that case please use flaturl value 1 with the shortcode [wpdm_frontend flaturl=1] of the frontend. Now you will get URL like /front-end/add-new/ for adding the package. Please add this to the onedrive app as redirect URL. Hope this will solve the issue.
I’m using your front-end add-on and also the OneDrive add-on, but it doesn’t seem to work.
The config is all correct as it opens the window to our OneDrive account and allows you to select a file, but then it redirects back to the parent page after rather than the ‘?adb_page=add-new’.
I’m wondering if it’s to do with the redirect URL’s options in OneDrive as they don’t allow you to include query args in the URL so it’s redirecting back to the stripped URL.
If that is the case, does that mean the OneDrive add-on doesn’t work with the front-end editing?
1. You can deactivate and delete the existing plugin from Dashboard Plugins then download the latest one from purchase area and upload it through the plugins Add new. The old data will not be removed in this update.
2. You can use the email lock to capture the email while user downloads any package file. But it is not possible to disable it after the first download for certain time. You may look into membership features to make 6-month membership with a single email, and you can put packages under that membership level.
