All of our downloads are individual PDFs. Can you tell me the best practice for opening them in a new tab? Is there a function/snippet?
TIA
KOI’ve set my categories so that they’re only available to certain users. This works well with the Directory Add On page, but I not on the Category pages. All downloads are available to view, even if the user doesn’t have access?
I am using a taxonomy-wpdmcategory.php template page to display categories.
Hello…
After installing and setting up I realized there isn’t any download information showing in the dashboard. No total downloads, no today’s downloads, no package name, download time or IP. We have the free version but I didn’t see where this info is for paid versions only. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!

Topic: Attach Dir not updating
Hello!
I have a large file structure on my wordpress server which I would like to provide access to my front end users to download files from. This structure has many folders, sub folders, sub sub folders, files
I am trying to use the “Attach Dir” function and it is not working as I expected. When I try to browse to my root folder in the Attach Dir menu, I can see my root folder however it does not populate. If I select it, it does not create a package. My path is: /home4/kylekenn/public_html/wp-content/uploads/filebase/Grower Portal
I have tried manually typing in a path instead: /home4/kylekenn/public_html/wp-content/uploads/filebase/Grower Portal/AUTUMNS ACRES which works and creates the package however if I add to this folder on the server or delete any files they do not update on the front end.
On the front end I have tried using short codes:
[wpdm_my_downloads login=1]
[wpdm_package id='21841'] (The id of the package that was created)However all the same results, if I update files or delete files they do not reflect the changes.
I have also tried this on other directories such as “/home/kylekenn/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2019/01”
and again the files do not updated on the front end when I delete or add on the server’s file browser.Permissions on the folders and files are set to 777
I am using the wordpress download manger and I am using this code to display the download lists in an order so that it orders by update_date, but somehow its not working, Can you please help me fix the issue. Here is the short-code I am using
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="20" categories="brochures" order_by="update_date" ]
This is my webpage where its listing all the downloads https://tritool.com/news-resources/resources/brochures/ The update date are showing wrong on this page if you click the available download file for details you will see the accurate update dates for every download.System: WordPress 5.2, WP Engine
Plugins: Free Download Manager, Up-to-date WPDM – Form lock plugin
Gravity Forms – Download manager setup in 2017 and has worked correctly since that point.Note: Downloads work without email lock
Issue:
user enters email and checks opt in and hits enter
System provides download button but URL has /#locked at the endI’ve turned off all plugins in test site and issue remains.
please advise.
Greetings,,
So I recently recommended that my client purchase the Pro Edition of WPDM, after investigating if it would meet their needs. In fact it more than met our minimum functionality requirements, and the Special Package was just icing on the cake. We proceeded to get it setup, and packages migrated into the system…
Unfortunately, Nirvana was not long lasting… First WordPress released v5.2 this week, which we upgraded to, and life was going fine, or so it seemed. We then (after some issues with their Hosting provider), migrated to PHP v7.3.5….
This is where the happy place died… One of the new features of WP 5.2 was the Site Health Tool, which checks for critical issues and recommended improvements.
The following errors were found:
The REST API is one way WordPress, and other applications, communicate with the server. One example is the block editor screen, which relies on this to display, and save, your posts and pages.
The REST API request failed due to an error.
Error: [] cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10000 milliseconds with 0 bytes receivedLoopback requests are used to run scheduled events, and are also used by the built-in editors for themes and plugins to verify code stability.
The loopback request to your site failed, this means features relying on them are not currently working as expected.
Error encountered: (0) cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10001 milliseconds with 0 bytes receivedObviously, with the number of plugins on the site (40), we proceeded to disable them all, and work, one-by-one to find which plugins triggered these critical errors. Only two did so:
WPDM – download manager 4.9.3
WPDM – File Manager addon v1.3.1Additionally, these two pluggins also triggered the following recommended improvement notice:
Background updates ensure that WordPress can auto-update if a security update is released for the version you are currently using.
Warning Could not confirm that the wp_version_check() filter is available.
The system “seems” to mostly work, even with these errors… The Download (archive page) works just fine ( It’s currently set to Admin only while we implemented the system)… in fact it lists the package catagories, the actual packages themselves, and so far downloads seem to actually occur…
Attachment’s description:
WPDM – Uploads Page Initial State -1.png : This is what it looks like when you load the page from the menu. The results vary if you keep refreshing the page, OR mouse over the table.. But the page never fully renders everything that USED to be show under PHP 7.0.33.WPDM – User Dashboard Page Initial State – 1.png This has the same problem, as it doesn’t render all the download history, or user info at the top. In addition, like with the Uploads page, the menu links on the left side are also not rendered.
Additionally we found this in the error_log file in the root directory under cPanel (Sanitized for Posting):

Topic: All Packages Sort Order Help
Hello,
When using the wpdm-all-packages shortcode, I need to have downloads sorted by create date – not modify date.
Here’s the shortcode I’m using:
[wpdm-all-packages items_per_page="20" categories="asx-announcements" jstable=1 order_by="date" order="DESC"]To achieve the change I modified line 352 of /download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php to read the following. I don’t mind reverting it if there’s an easier way. While it worked initially, now, newly added downloads are stacking to the top of the table, even though I have it sorted by ‘DESC’.
Original:
echo "<span class='__dt_update_date {$cxc}'>".get_the_modified_date('', get_the_ID())."</span>";
Modified:echo "<span class='__dt_publish_date {$cxc}'>".get_the_date()."</span>";The problem appears to be fixed when I turn off ‘jstable’ however I can’t do that because I lose the search. Can somebody please lend a hand on the correct way to achieve foolproof sorting by create date, not modify date, for this shortcode?
Hi,
I am using MemberPress to restrict certain downloads but I want them visible to non-members.
When using category view [wpdm_category id="all-downloads" ], I would like to remove the download button so that users need to click through to the package page in order to download.
That way if they click on a restricted file, my site will prompt them to sign up.
How can I remove the download button on the category view??
thanks!
