Let’s assume that our user has the role “Silver” and has allowed 3 downloads per day.
1. Log in with username and password
2. On the site there are 30 downloads, all visible to the Role “Silver”
3. The user with the role “Silver” opens 10 downloads in separate tabs.
4. On each tab will be the button “Download” Visible
5. Walk every tabs giving each link click “Downloads”
6. 10 tabs process the download, even if the user with the role “Silver” has allowed maximum 3 per day.
Then;
If we open a tab do more or refresh in the open and we find the legend “Download Limit Exceeded”
It also happens that
1. If accessed from four different browsers, opening 4 tabs 1 on each browser, the user Role “silver” can download the 4, although the limit was set at 3
2. In any browser that then a second tab is opened, the message “Download Limit Exceeded” is displayed.

I am using your plugin to create a downloads section for a wordpress site. The key is that all of these files cannot be downloaded by the general public, only by registered users with certain WordPress user roles (we have had to create new roles.)
When someone comes to the site, the download link is not there, it requires you to login. (good) As an administrator I can login, access and instantly download any file, but if I create an account as “NDA Customer”, “Partner” or “Developer” and then login as that customer, the DM will just spin for a while then give me a 503 error.
I have checked on the download file and it has all of the right users identified.
Then I checked by adding “all visitors” to one of the downloads. Again, only the admin could download.
THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM!!!
I need to address this ASAP. I am totally OK with the answer being “you didn’t test this enough” because I was only testing with the admin account and a general user account (to ensure the files were hidden).
But I need to know how to fix this because I need others to be able to download.
Hi, I’m trying to update my WPDM Pro to new version v.4.5.6
I follow all your instructions:
Delete wpdm pro 3 from wp-admin plugin manager ( don’t worry, it will not delete your files )
Install & Activate v4
Install WPDM 3 to 4 Data Migration Add-on
Go to Download Manager Settings Page
Click on migrate Tab
There you will see the list of all old packages, select max 100 package at a time, then click on “Save Settings” button at the button ( but if you can set exce
You can do that repeatedly until you are done with importing all packages
Finally you’re ready to continue with wpdm pro v4
But when I go to Migrate Tab, there is no download available to the migration process as you can see in the Screenshot attached.
If I revert back to the v.3.3.8 all downloads are there.
Any help on how to migrate successfully to new version?
Is there a way to display a list of downloads (preferably by category) on another site of a multisite network?
example: WPDM is active in one site of the network (not the main), and we want to display a list of downloads from one category in another site of the network.
Can this be done by network activating the plugin? or by means of a php call in a template on the “other” site? any other option?
thanks.
hi there,
I’ve tried everything to follow the instructions but not too clear.
How do I setup a page to show all available downloads to a logged in user, only if they have access to the download.
My user roles are on the category.
Thanks,
Jay
Hello;
– 1. I currently have an existing directory structure containing ZIP files
– 2. which I’d like to insert into existing pages in a table-view
– 3. with a direct download link
I have figured out that for 1. I can attach a folder to a Package, but inserting that Package (only Link Template is available or I am not understanding the template concept) only offers a link to an extra (and unwanted) downloads page.
If need be I can walk away from the existing directory structure and create custom Packages / Categories / whatever is required. Most important is have an existing list or table of files be injected in existing pages with a direct download link (ie. straight to the file.)
I’m usually persistant enough in figuring stuff out but this plugin and its mechanisms has me absolutely dumbfounded.
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
Hello! I am using a membership plugin to protect content on my site. The one part I’m having difficulty with is the popup format of generated by WPDM. I’m 99% certain this used to work, because I recall being pretty excited about it. But either I’m imagining that, or something has gone wrong.
Using the popup is important to us for navigational purposes (to keep the user on the page that lists the downloads — they click the link, see the popup, grab the download, close the window — now they are back to the same list of downloads).
But the download button should be hidden from sight for some users. This is done (by the membership plugin) with a shortcode.
I created a page template that uses shortcodes to determine what the users will see, and as I mentioned earlier, I’m sure it was working at one time. But now I’m seeing the shortcode being output as plain text, and not functioning as they should.
Any idea why, or how to fix this? (Screenshot attached, and access to my site will be in the next private message.)
Hi,
Is there a way to use the Pro Membership add on for creating new users without going through the main WordPress interface? We want to be able to have our client create new users just for Download Manager Pro, without access to Admin features of the entire system. Let me know if this requires a shortcode to put into a page for the front end.
Right now, all we see is a member list within the Pro Membership addon without the ability to create new users from there. And the Downloads > Subscribers list is empty.
Thanks,
