You can upload those icons somewhere else. Then add the icon URL in package settings. Your URL will still be there after plugin update.
There are two ways of showing a download/package.
1. Link template ( using shortcode ) – There are multiple link templates available. Each one has its own layout. Use TinyMCE addon to insert shortcode, you will find the option there to select the link template.
2. Page Template – This is the details page for the package/download. You see this page when previewing the package. You can set this details page url in your link template. Clicking on the title ( in link template ) brings the user to the details page.
Hello,
1. I have a question why only one package appears on the homepage of the ‘NEW DOWNLOADS’ section? There is no ‘TABBED’ section too. I have turned off the SLIDERS section, but it did not affect the problem with the rest of the sections.
2. Is it possible to add the Top Downloads section on the homepage?
3. Translations of this phrases are not visible on the site admin panel:
– If you like, you may enter custom structures for your wpdm category and package URLs here. For example, using “<b>packages</b>” as your category base would make your category links like http://example.org/<b>packages</b>/category-slug/. If you leave these blank the defaults will be used.
– Rename New File
– Publish Instantly
Cannot see how to add a new post – so I am posting here.
i have 3 pro licences, 2 are working – the other keeps saying invalid (www.burlescombprimary.co.uk) – can you please explain why and please fix. Thank you.

Hi,
When packages in the table are filtered using category page reload event occurs and loads a different URL ( adds category info in URL ). Shouldn’t these two events enough to provide the user a sense that back button will bring all packages back?
However, if you want you can make your own template for All Packages table and add following code to create a Back to all packages button,
<?php if(isset($_GET['wpdmc'])): ?> <a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>">All Downloads</a> <?php endif; ?>
Thanks.
The link you shared uses Crypton’s default look. Your package page should look like that by default if you are using Crypton. You need this add-on to show image buttons https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-image-button/
Please send me the url to check.
Sorry, not clear, please give me your URL to check.
You can add home button from wp menu manager ( Admin Menu Appearance Menus ).
— Download the latest version again and update your copy, tags will be active again.
— You can update add-ons from Admin Menu Downloads Settings Updates
— I need to check it in your setup, please give me the url, the username and password again in a [rivate reply.
This is the template I”m using to display that list of links:
<div class="well c2a1">
<div class="media">
<div class="media-body">
<h3 class="media-heading" style="padding-top: 0px;border:0px;margin: 0 0 5px 0;font-size:12pt;font-weight:700">[popup_link] </h3>
<span style="float:left;padding-right:10px;"><a href="[page_url]" data-title="[title]" class="wpdm-popup-link" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#wpdm-popup-link">[icon]</a></span>[excerpt_300]
</div>
</div>
</div>
<style>.well.c2a1 .btn.wpdm-download-link{ padding: 11px 30px;font-size: 11pt; } .well.c2a1 .media-body{ font-size: 11pt; }</style>

Actually, the point is, this is not an issue with the plugin, if you want multiple files to download together, wpdm create a zip file using attached files, but, to create zip all files need to be on the same server, that is how PHP zip function works. But in the case of remote URL, PHP zip function can’t add it, so in that case, the only solution is, modifying the code, to copy the remote files on the same server, then attach with zip. Regardless of the complexity of code modification, the total process will be the waste of server resources and there is no meaning of keeping files on remote server.
#1. Admin Menu Downloads Subscribers menu show the list of emails and other user info you collected using email lock option. But, register signup visitors as wp user.
#2. add flaturl=0 to avoid permalink issue, like [wpdm_dashboard flatur=0]
#3. Got the issue with description, shall adjust it with the next update
#4. From next update, when you setup wpdm login and reg form, they will replace default reg and login form.
#5. replied there.
BTW, next update is coming within this month.
For stylish download button, please use this add-on:
WPDM Image Button
Give me your URL and temporary wp-admin login info in a private reply to check.
Hello
I have to add the download via the URL field, but I have the following problem:
If the URL of the file corresponds to a file with extension, for example: “http :: //www.example.com/lorem.jpg” there are no problems
if the url of the file has no extension, eg “http :: / /www.example.com/lorem” I download a text file: file-not-found.txt
I have some files in Google Drive that I need to load it with a path like this: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0123456789qweasdzxc without extension
Using Safari I can see this error: Failed to load resource: Loading frame interrupted
Kind regards

If you want to get email and name, you simply need to enable email lock option from add/edit package window.
For instead of using direct category URL, if you want to use ready templates, you need to create a page and insert category shortcode ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/ ) on the page content.
Every feature wpdm pro offers explained here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/docsfor/download-manager-pro/, as all the feature gives many possibilities, how exactly you want to use those will depend on your imagination and planning. But to do that, you at least need to go through all the docs and be familiar with all the features wpdm pro offers.
As far as I understand from your description, you need email lock or form lock and the category shortcode.
However, use following add-on to generate shortcode:
Advanced TinyMCE button
Still, don’t worry, we are here together with you to clear any of your confusion.
Button template already shows title on the button:
https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/button-templates-add-on-free/
You can show a title linked to download as a button in following way:
<a href="[download_url]" class="btn btn-success btn-lg">[title]</a>
When a file is locked ( where you applied lock option like password, facebook, email or any other ) you need to use the same value for link label as the title.

I know it will take time to customize it, which is why I’m asking for the predefined CSS classes so that I can do it myself.
At first you provided some of the code which I really appreciated, but every time you asked for a screenshot or url to suggest the remaining code you then tried upselling me for either a custom upgrade or add-on.
I’m not sure why as a paid Pro user I can’t make a simple customization to the form layout without paying for an additional add-on?
All I’m asking for are the predefined CSS classes. You say it’s not easy to explain, but even with the free Genesis eNews Extended plugin I’m able easily customize the form inputs with a simple .enews-widget input class which is openly available to use.
Why am I not allowed to do the same as a paid Download Manager Pro user?
You don’t need separate pages for project A and Project B. All your need to do is:
- You create categories “Project A” and “Project B” from wp-admin
- Create a page and add shortcode [wpdm_frontend flaturl=0] , say, page name is “Author Dashboard”
- Now from Author Dashboard page, user each user can create packages, manage their packages and upload their files and from the file manager, they will be able to see and manage their own files only.
- Now, when a user is uploading files for Project A, they need to go to Author Dashboard Add New, then enter and title, description (optional), then upload files and finally select category “Project A” like following image:
https://www.evernote.com/l/AV1R9X4pjqJESbKqOiD85khDkd94CF-aexEB/image.png
- You can review the files from wp-admin, included who uploaded and which project they are assigned to.
- You also can show the files at front-end on a public page like this:
https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/package-list-in-responsive-table/
Please let me know if anything is not clear here.
Yes, had to add parameter flaturl=0 with short-code. ok now.
You can do it manually in this way:
<a href="//your-site-url/?wpdmdl=[ADD_FILE_ID]">[your custom button image or text]</a>
Or, use short-code:
[wpdm_package id="[ID]" template="link-template-button.php"]
And use the following add-on to add your custom button image:
WPDM Image Button
Thanks Shaon.
The url is: http://atesolutions.co.uk.gridhosted.co.uk/module-testing/flex-10/
On the right hand side there are a number of download links.
The first one is attempting to use the shortcode.
The next four are the original buttons with no shortcode.
The bottom button labelled ‘Download’ is using your shortcode but added via a text widget. This proves the shortcode works normally when not used in a custom field. However as I need different buttons on each page I cannot add them using the text widget.
I have added the following code to my page template used for that page:
echo apply_filters('the_content', get_post_meta($post->ID,'pdf_download_button', true));
The name of the custom field is: Pdf Download Button
Thanks for taking the time to help.
Kind Regards,
David
Thank you very much Shaon, as I get familiar with this product while setting up my new site I see that it is every bit as valuable and well built as I expected.
It is forcing me to extend my coding skills too. I’ve read up on the Combinators for Selectors so I completely get the formatting now. Because you’ve laid everything out so well it is really actually quite easy.
The last question I have for this thread is this:
I cannot get the font color to change for the actual [Page_Link]. I this becasue it is inside a shortcode?
I thought the complete identifier for the css element was:
.col-md-6 .thumbnail .media .media-body .h4 {
color:blue;
}
But no combination gets the font color to respond.
My Link Template code:
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="thumbnail">
<div class="media">
<a class="pull-left" href="[page_url]">[icon]</a>
<div class="media-body">
<h4 style="padding-top: 70px;border:0px;margin:0px;">[page_link]</h4>
[download_link] <i style="margin: 2px 0 0 5px;opacity:0.5" class="fa fa-th-large"></i></br>
[file_size] <i style="margin: 2px 0 0 5px;opacity:0.5" class="fa fa-download-alt"></i></br>
[download_count] downloads
</div>
