Hello again
Regarding audio problem, it seems that all audio downloads have lost link to audio files…
If I click on Download, I get a text file “file not found”.
Why are the links broken (they were generated by bulk import).

Hi there
I have bought alot of different add-ons for wp download manager pro, and we are super excited about the project – which is almost done and ready to go live.
We are just hitting two small bumps:
1: when we have add’ed some files to the cart and then try to download it, it just downloads a text called something-wrong.txt with the text “file not found” inside out if.. and again if we try to send by email nothing happens
2: is it possible to remove the filename from [file_list] shortcode – i dont need the file names to be displayed. (an alternative could be to get the + button with out the rest of the shortcode)
Thank you in advanced – we are super pleased with your solution and will gladly recommend it to others!
How can I uninstall download manager without losing any of my files or data in the database?
The auto update feature doesn’t work correctly–the plugin disappears completely with the error “The plugin download-manager/download-manager.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist.” This error has been true for quite a while. I’m currently running 4.7.2 and want to update to 4.7.7.
So I just want to do the update manually, but want to make sure I don’t lose any of the files or metadata for the existing downloads. If I deactivate the plugin and go to delete it, wordpress warns that the “plugin and files” will be removed, which is not desired.
How can I fix this problem?

Hi,
Sorry for the delayed reply.
Please deactivate and delete the previous installation of Download Manager. You won’t lose any data. Your downloads will still be there. After removing the old version install the latest one.
If you want me to install the latest version for you, please send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply.
Thanks.

Topic: "File Not Found"
I’m finding that some of my downloads are not accessible. When I click the link to download on a page, I instead download the text file that says “File Not Found.”
I have a multisite installation and this is on one of the sub-sites. I’ve deactivated and reactivated the plugin on the sub-site level as I’ve seen instructed in other threads.
Can you please help me correct this? I am using WPDM Pro.
In reply to: Get Downlad link from package
Hi,
You can use the master download link from all downloads page. Each package has a button to generate the master download link.
https://www.evernote.com/l/AUdbmPlfkqBNe5QPADxc1TS8BAJi4rSrKWIB/image.png
By the way, You can create your grid using a custom link template. In that case, everything will be handled by WPDM automatically. You don’t have to copy and link the URLs. Custom templates are used to build a custom preview of the package/download.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can export all downloads using WordPress export options. Then import it to your new site.
Thank you.
In reply to: Extract metadata from uploaded files
Hi,
Thanks for the information, but I was looking for something that could look at the original files and extract the information from them. The files are installers and the installer software puts the information in them. We did use DM in our old site and we hand-entered version numbers, but that was a very large effort and we would like to not just “get by”.
Ideally, we would like all the other information as well that is already stored in the installer .exe file and can be seen through the file’s properties page.
I know there is a WMI API that allows programmers to get to this information and a command that allows you to get to the information. For example,
wmic datafile where Name="E:\\FILES\\ProductDownloads\\blah.exe" get Description,Path,Status,Version,Size,Manufacturer,CreationDategives you formatted output. I was wondering if anyone might have something that would give results more inline with what DM requires. I am looking to avoid doing lots of work 350 times (or more). (Creating a CSV file involves doing a lot of work 350 times or more).
Thanks

1 ) Created a new custom link template ( Audion Clone ). This template has both the play button and the download button as you asked. Installed the WPDM Image Button add-on to prettify the download link. You can change the button style from Image Button settings tab in WPDM settings page.
2 ) Cloned the Single Colum, Flat page template and added a link to your all download page. I have updated page template in this package https://kusumpu.com/download/suriyan-goundamani-comedy-ringtone/ Now you have to update all other packages to add the Back to all downloads button. You can modify the text by editing the custom page template.
I’ve just installed the WPDM Pro ecommerce package, and have set up my downloads.
1. in the shopping cart, is there a way to disable the “role discount” column?
2. After a successful checkout, I see an order number that I have to click to get to the order summary page with the download links. Is there a way to bypass this requirement to click the order number, and go directly to the order summary page with download links?
3. Is it possible to disable/remove the “add note” section at the bottom of the order summary/download page?

1 ) It is possible to add a download button. If you want both play and download button you have to clone the audio template and add
[download_link]tag there. Then use this custom link template in archive page shortcode. Here is the Documentation.2 ) You can add your all downloads page in your site menu to make it easily accessible from anywhere. Also, It is possible to add a link to the downloads page using a custom page template and custom template tag. I can help you with that. Send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply in that case.

Hi,
This is great, many thanks for your help!..
I have now installed a child theme and added the customised code to that, so should now be protected from updates..
The client is really happy with this now, just one last question..
Currently when the page first loads the initial default view is “All Downloads”, so it shows all the available packages.. Can this be changed so all packages are hidden and the page is blank, until the user selects a category?
Thanks again for your continued support!
Tim
Hi,
Customization is required because there is no existing shortcode to show the downloads of only last 30 days. We have to create a custom shortcode for that.
But your proposed approach works too. You can just sort packages by date and show the recent at the top. You can use the all packages shortcode.
Thanks.
In reply to: display title as link in table view
Yes, it is possible using a custom template of
/download-manager/wpdm-all-downloads.phpfile. Please check this doc https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/ It shows how to create a template file.You have to perform 2 updates in the new template file,
1 ) Replace line 255 with
$data['download_url'] = wpdm_download_url($data);2 ) Find
get_the_permalink(get_the_ID())and replace with$data['download_url']In reply to: Stats not showing
Stats are logged automatically. No extra setup is required for that. Did you check the Stats Download History tab? It should list all downloads. Please send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply if you can’t see any log there.
This requires a custom solution. No built-in option to check download history of a selected timeframe.

In reply to: Bulk import no more displayed
You are using the free version there which doesn’t have the bulk import feature. Please install the Pro version. You can download it here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/?udb_page=purchases
Deactivate and delete free version before installing Pro.
Are you trying to serve downloads from another server?
In reply to: File Icon & Responsive Table
In all packages table, File icon is generated dynamically based on attached file type. But if you want to show the icon set in package setting you have to add the following code after line no 254 in
/download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.phpfile,$ext = $data['icon'];To make this change unaffected by plugin update, use a template file instead of customizing core plugin file.
1 ) Copy this file
/download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.phpand place it in/your-active-theme/download-manager/directory.
2 ) Now make changes in this new template fileI am using the following code:
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="10" categories="datasheets" jstable=1 order_by="title" order="ASC/DESC" cols="title,excerpt|download_link" colheads="Product Number|Download::150px"]I do not get a “Display x downloads per page” link in the upper left nor does the pagination work. This worked prior to installing the 4.7.7 update.
In reply to: Parent Categories/Sub Categories
Hi,
I think the Archive Page sidebar view is the right solution for you. It shows all categories in the left sidebar and shows packages on the right. When you click a category that has child categories, all those child categories will be shown on the right. And you can select one to filter downloads from it.
I think you should check the demo here https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-sidebar/ to get a clear understanding of how it works.
Let me know if you have any further query.
Thanks.
In reply to: download list
You can use the category shortcode with panel link template. Please check the doc here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/
Install the TinyMCE add-on to insert shortcode using a GUI.
With that, If you need filter and search option Archive Page add-on is the best solution https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-default/
