Set allow access to ‘All Visitors’ in your package settings to allow downloads without registration. You will find the package settings meta box in edit package screen.
This post is part of the Downloads category ‘Persoonlijke bestanden’ which we’ve declared in the category settings for your plugin should not be accessible to ‘all visitors’ and subsequently only to the roles ‘subscriber’ and up. Even though the page/download I linked to is only part of this category and no other, it is still accessible.
I’m guessing the accessiblity setting is being overridden by a post-specific setting which I cannot update in bulk, but I’m not sure and that wouldn’t be a sollution, since it’s not updatable in bulk.
I’ve tried to restrict access to all downloads in a certain category. I’ve done so because this appears to be the only way to restrict access to a whole bunch of downloads in on bulk action.
However, it seems that, whatever I say about the restricted access for posts under a certain category, they all remain visible for all visitors. Can you help me figure out why this is, or how I can best restrict access in bulk actions?
I recently changed servers and now any time someone clicks on a package to download it gives a file not found.txt in its place. I have tried re-uploading the files as well as uploading a new one. All of them give the same file not found.txt file instead of the uploaded file. I have checked the downloads folder and all of the files are there and are being uploaded properly.
1 )If you want users to register before download then allow downloads only to ‘Subscribers’ role in Package Settings Allow access option. If someone is not a subscriber they can only see the posts. But won’t have access to download.
2 ) Maybe you are confusing the email lock feature with the subscriber access. Email lock doesn’t require registration, a guest can download the file by submitting their email address. All collected email addresses are listed on Downloads Subscribers page. Option (1) is the better choice for you.
The “clear stats data” option in Downloads -> Settings does nothing for me. Removing all rows from the DB table “wp_ahm_download_stats” clears the data in Downloads -> Stats, but each package still has views and downloads associated.
I’m having some trouble with the shortcodes. I’m trying to test out the different link template and display all downloads within specific categories. I’m using this shortcode:
I see. I’m looking forward to the fix as soon as possible since I have my templates set to allow single file downloads only, not package downloads. Thank you.
Did you put your license in the Downloads -> Settings -> License?
Go the Settings -> Updates and login to the wdmp account. Then the update can be installed.

For the update go to the plugins page.
Have you modified the wpdm-all-downloads.php template or uisng a custom template for it?
The sorting issue is related to the language. We fixed this in the next version which is coming today.
You just have replace <?php echo strtotime(get_the_date()); ?> with <?php echo get_the_time('U'); ?> in wpdm-all-downloads.php file if you are using a custom template for that.
we have another issue after updating to the last pro version. When a new download is written with the short-code to the category, it just writes “download” with no description.
A while back you guys did some custom work for us.
1. When a user logged out download manager, they end up back on the login page. Currently, logout takes a user to the WP login page.
2. When the user logged in, you bypassed the screen that said “You are already logged in. Go to your Dashboard.” That page is back.
3. I found a new bug. I am using User Role Editor to create custom Roles for users including alternate roles. I use the Roles to manage permissions in WPDM as to what downloads the user has access to. A user could have mulitple Roles and they would see any/all dowloads associated with each role. Originally this worked great, but now the user ONLY sees the downloads associated with their primary role. They do not see downloads associated with their alternate roles. They did a couple of months ago.
It doesn’t appear to search tags for downloads. For example, I added a tag to several items, yet they aren’t displaying at all when searching for that specific tag. Is this normal? I found this old forum topic, and hoped that this feature would be implemented, even if it required an exact match (better than nothing).
Are you planning to sell downloads or membership plans?
If yes, Install Download Manager Pro ( and WP Pro membership is selling membership too ). Then Multilevel Marketing plugin will add the MLM support to the affiliate sales of downloads.
