Hello I want to know how to order the Downloads in a Package. Inside of manually Dragging them up and down
In reply to: Most simple download way
1 ) Create a custom link template from Downloads Template page. You can clone an existing template from that page and edit on top of it. Remove all data that is not important for you ( i.e. version, date, download count etc ). Also remove
[page_url]and[page_link]template tags those exists there. That will remove all link to the details page.When inserting the category shortcode select this custom template as your link template. Install TinyMCE add-on to insert shortcode easily.
2 ) You can also modify the details page ( http://rodribv.com/download/test-bestand/ ) by using a custom page template.

Topic: Email Lock, Package Stats
Hi, if I lock all downloads with ’email lock’ user should enter an email every time he download the package? Or only once and then he can download all locked packages.
Also, I have a lot of packages with lots of downloads per day. The stats ‘package vs day’ is not working for me. It tries to load the page and then I get 404. I assume it is too much o proceed. Is it possible to split into a few pages? Let’s say 20-50 packages per page?
Thank you!

You are using a custom shortcode for the table. You have to fix that custom code to get the correct icon URL. Set the icon URL in the package by clicking the icon and adjust the code for the custom shortcode to use the icon URL as it is.
Removing
plugins_url('/') .from your child theme’swpdm-all-downloads.phpfile should fix it. Did you create the cusotm shortcode yourself?In reply to: Trial Error. Not on Trial
Hi,
Please save your license key in Downloads Settings License tab to verify your order.
This link explains how to generate your key https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/where-is-my-license-key/
Install the latest version of Download Manager if you are getting an “Invalid key error” when saving the key.
Best regards.

In reply to: MultiSite Upgrade Fails
Hi,
I have the same problem.
Is there any solution?
I have a multidomain installation with two sites.
The child site fails.
Downloadsize 0 kb…Support urgently needed.
jIn reply to: Display tags in table view?
That requires code customization. Please check the related doc here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/ You have to create a custom template for the
/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.phptemplate.HI
I am running a fairly old instance of the plugin…Version 2.5.95. That version works great. I have shortcodes such as this on my site :
“[wpdm_category id=2015 order_field=id order=desc]”
The problem is, for the last year or so, whenever I try to update the plugin all my categories disappear. Both in the admin part of my site (as in there no categories to manage or see downloads under) and then on my website where I have the shortcodes similar to the above, nothing is listed. So every time I give up and just restore Version 2.5.95.
Could someone be good enough to tell me what version the above shortcodes stopped working in, so I can at least update to the version before that? And better still, can anyone tell me what I need to do, or if it is even possible, to jump from Version 2.5.95 to the latest version without having to manually update every shortcode for every download page of my site? I’d really like to use the latest version if I can.
Note I have read https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/
Note that I do now have Extended Short-code Add-on and Advanced TinyMCE button installed.

Indexing depends on your package. Search engines don’t index files directly from WPDM storage location because WPDM doesn’t serve downloads using actual file path. If you check the download URL you will get the idea, it uses post id to serve downloads. So, file indexing is not an issue actually when you delete a package.
You don’t have to use outside tool like FTP client. I suggested it as just another option. You can use File Manager add-on which is an extension of WPDM. Using this add-on you can manage your files from Dashboard Downloads File Manager page.
Hi,
I am trying to use WPDM Free and I cannot get my files to be in the appropriate order.
The way it is displaying is like this: (These are the publish dates and the name of the file for clarity)
5-22-2017 (id 432)
6-26-2017 (id 431)
4-24-2017 (id 739My short code:
[wpdm_tree category=”2017″ order_by=”create_date” order=”desc”]I have triple checked the created dates, and they are correct. It seems it’s not sorting by date or ID.
I also have installed WPDM – Extended Short-codes.Any help?
Thanks
In reply to: Deleting File Attachments
Thanks for the reply. Using FTP to manually remove files seems to defeat the purpose of having a management tool for downloads. Using a separate File Manager plugin is not very intuitive for non-technical users being tasked with managing downloads and could lead to the same issue of files being removed that are referenced by other packages.
In our case, the issue is that we have PDFs attached to packages. When the PDF is removed from the package, or the package is deleted, the PDF remains on the server. As a result, it also remains in the index of our on-site search engine. Based on your reply, it seems that without doing a bunch of manual work, once a file is attached to a package, there is no way to remove it from the server.
The correct solution would seem to be:
- Upon clicking the ‘X’ to remove the attachment, do a query to see if the filename being removed is associated to any other Packages
- If the attachment is not associated with any other packages, prompt the user to determine if they want the actual file removed from the server
- If the attachment is associated with other packages, prompt the user to determine if they want the actual file removed from the server and from all of the other packages that reference it
Where this gets tricky is with the deletion of single or multiple Packages. In that case, a similar prompt could come up asking the user if they also want to delete all attachments associated with the packages being removed.
This would eliminate the need to utilize an outside tool for manually managing files.
Topic: Wrong showing download files
Hi there!
Can please someone find moment for me and my problem? Sorry for my bad english, i try explain you my problem.
I install WP Download Manager, everything works fine except showing downloads. I want to sort 3 downloads/peer line, not like this:
You know what i mean? I was adding this shortcode:
[wpdm_category id="CATEGORY ID" cols="3" toolbar=1 desc=1 item_per_page=30 template="link-template-bsthumnail.php"]I can give you FTP access, admin access to my page and everything what you need, but please, can you try fix my problem?
Thank you for your advices!
Have a great day!Topic: Display tags in table view?
Currently I am using the shortcode for displaying downloads in a tabular form:
[wpdm_all_packages tags="" items_per_page="20" jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="ASC/DESC"]
The shortcode displays a list of downloads in a tabular format along with the related categories, see example here. I was wondering if there is a way to show tags in addition to the categories.Topic: Pro Version Install
Hi. I just purchased the Pro version of the Downloads plug-in and I tried to install and got an error message that the file directory already existed. I have the free version installed. It says not to deactivate it as the Pro version is an add-on.
Please advise.
Hi,
I have Download Manager Pro installed with the Directory add-on. The link is:
http://www.isasa.net.za/index-of-pro-formas-and-policies-2/
The categories display and filter correctly, but if I do a keyword search it always returns “No download found!”
This is the shortcode I am using:
[wpdm-archive category=”1170″ cat_view=”extended” button_style=”info” link_template=”link-template-calltoaction3.php” items_per_page=”10″]
In reply to: Update Downloads`
Please download the latest version of Download Manager core plugin from here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/purchases/
Deactivate and delete current installation and then install the latest one. Your data and settings will still be there.
To get automatic updates in future connect your WPDM to update server from Downloads Settings Update tab. After successful login, you can update plugins right from there.

All Downloads table uses a template file, so it is possible to customize it. But search result doesn’t have template support.
In reply to: Just get "Processing…" when Password Entered
I set up a couple of test posts, both password-protected, and I cannot get either to work on my end–just “Processing…” but the file never downloads.
(even after clicking to “load unsafe scripts”, making page not secure)
Sitelock (my CDN firewall) has not been able to get it working, either, and they insist that it is some sort of coding issue and that they are not blocking the plugin.
Topic: "File not found"
Hi there,
One of my download objects are not working. Most are fine, but one of them allways downloads as “file not found” for some reason. Its a bit bigger than the other downloads and is a PDF.
If you look at this page http://www.forkynnerfellesskapet.no/pff-merkevare/, its the first download in the “Merkevare Handbok” tab (which should already be open).
Ive uploaded the file several times to check for errors, tried creating several download objects, but nothing seem to work.
What may it be?

Are you using
[wpdm-all-packages]shortcode? Or is this a custom shortcode?From your screenshot, it looks like you are using a custom template for all downloads table. Please send temporary wp-admin login info to check.
In reply to: Unusual use, unusual pagination problem
I provided a custom template for all packages table which will sort packages by update date when
jstable=1. If you follow the steps below plugin update won’t delete the custom template.1 ) Create a
/download-managerdirectory ( folder ) in your active theme dir. ( i.e./themes/your-active-theme/download-manager/)2 ) Place this file ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/3nvqwnp7omv4jzj/wpdm-all-downloads.php?dl=0 ) inside that dir.
And this will fix all the issues you are facing now.
