Hi, You can utilize category shortcode to implement featured downloads section. Category shortcode can show all packages from selected categories.
#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.
- When you are creating a package, select access = “All Visitors” from package settings
- From lock options tab, check email lock and ask for visitor’s name option
- Publish the post
- Share the package with your user
- That’s all
- But if you want to share the package inside another post, use http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-tinymce-button/ to generate and insert the shortcode.
The user will receive an email with download link after they enter their name and email, those data ( name and email ) is accessible from Downloads Subscribers menu. No new user will be created in the process.

Edit this file ./plugins/wpdm-multisite/wpdm-all-downloads.php to customize the view of the tables in your screenshot.
[wpdm_tree] shortcode doesn’t support any sorting option. please use [wpdm_category] shortcode. Doc:
[wpdm_category] – Query All Downloads From One or More Categories
Can you tell me what changes I need to make to wpdm-all-downloads.php?
1. I want to show the modified date instead of the create date
2. When I click on the title it takes me to a separate page instead of downloading the file. I want this to be the same as clicking the button.
Thanks
Please follow the instruction from the step #3 on the following URL:
Template Files
The template file name is wpdm-all-downloads.php.
You missed the ‘All Packages’ text when translating archive page. I have updated it, now that text is also translated.
About the first screenshot. Those English texts are coming from the Crypton theme. We will release a full translation ready version soon.
Related downloads are based on package tag. Use same tags in similar download to show them on related packages tab.
If you want to change the label just use the Link Label option in package settings.

It is not possible to use Link Template in all downloads table. Yoy can use Directory add-on for this purpose. It show list of downloads in various ways and has link template support.
i really need this pop over mess disabled. I need the form to show on the page. We are now on day 2 with no downloads coming in which is how we make our sales. Can we please get a more prompt turnaround on this situation.
Is it possible to customise the ‘Download’ link within wpdm-all-downloads.php ?
I’d like to use one of the ‘Link Templates’ if possible – e.g. – link-template-calltoaction3
Many Thanks
Hello,
I am new to using WordPress download manager.
I am currently using a WP_query to retrieve all the downloads and spit out into categories. (have attached screenshot)
Can you explain how the Versions work? Is it possible to have multiple versions of a document and only show the latest?
But have a search function to show all
Thanks
David
Hello, I recently setup a CDN and need to change all files URL base to the CDN URL.
For Example currently my file names are “http://www.mysite.com/downloads/file.pdf” and I need to change it to “http://www.mysitecdn.cdnhere-allfiles.com/download/file.pdf”
Please let me know how I can accomplish this in a batch or individually.
Thank you!
Hello,
I was instructed to make a ticket here. We have been using WPDM Pro for over 2 years. Recently I noticed that downloads were not working. When I checked the backend it suddenly said my license key wasn’t valid. I was instructed to update to latest version and after some finagling we got the license to validate. I have entered my Amazon s3 keys and Dropbox has been validated, but I can’t download anything. I even tried uploading new locally hosted files and they won’t work. I just get a error page.
I could really use some help. Our downloads are one of the single largest reason that people visit our site.
Thanks,
Hello,
Recenly I bought DMP pro and I need a tree with foldres and files, and that works correctly. But, when I try to download files it downloads txt document file not found. All my files are sorted in folders and subfolders inside uploads/download-manager-files
Thanks Shaon, but it seems these files were already created by your guys and placed here, as we had this page customised by WPDM.
I tried various modifications to this file
http://cpmr.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/Avada-Child-Theme/download-manager/wpdm-all-downloads.php
It does nothing to the front-end appearance.
Please advise? thank you
If you don’t use order_by parameter it will be sorted by date by default, the shortcode doc is there:
[wpdm_all_packages] – List all downloads in tabular format in a page
I am now getting this working: http://www.myopiaprofile.com/mpdownloads/
I have purchased form lock which is working through a Gravity Form but does NOT send email despite having this selected – please can you advise.
Please be aware that when I tested this using email lock before I installed Form Lock it did work, so I know it can send an email, but it isn’t sending it with the Form Lock setting.
Thank you,
Actually, the feature is already available, which field will show or not at front-end will depend on the template you are using, you can create custom template easily from Admin Menu Downloads Template using simple template tag, please follow the docs here:
Templates
But the feature is only available with pro version.
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.
You need to edit the template file /tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php , to edit the file please follow the instruction from setp3 on the following url:
Template Files
The link templates aren’t working, or I am doing something wrong. Please advise. Settings are all as default so download for Package URL Base and downloads for Category URL Base. Have created category called profile, which can be access by downloads/profile and contains one package but is is basic display that doesn’t match style selected in front end. I’m assuming that this page should look like the templates in: https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/ready-to-use-templates/
My site: http://www.myopiaprofile.com/downloads/profile/
Actually, download manager has various way to achieve this and you can change the looks the way you want using simple tags.
You need to create a custom page template for that from Admin Menu Downloads Templates
You also need to enable simple file download globally ( from Admin Menu Downloads Settings ) or from package settings on Add/Edit Package window.
Docs:
Templates
However, please check those and let me know if anything is not still clear, I shall explain that for you 🙂
