Hello,
When I first installed Download Manager, I was using a very simple but effective Tree Category display. It displayed a simple list of Categories and when you clicked on a Category, that Category expanded accordion-style to show the downloads available within it. The code I was using on the page was:
[wpdm_tree category=”3″ download_link=1]
This is not working anymore as it appears to no longer be supported by the plug-in. I have been going through the various Templates to find one that performs the same way but have not found one yet to do so.
That simple display/functionality was the reason I purchased the plug-in. How can I achieve the desired layout?
When I change [page_link] shortcode with [popup_link] one in link-template-panel-1-3.php when I click on download title browser screen becomes grey and nothing happens. You can see that in this: https://didepie.allflavors.net/downloads/
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
PS Furthermore I’d love to know how to remove wordpress sidebar from page templates….
Yes, I edited /download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php
Make a copy of that file and put it in a folder named download-manager under your active theme directory. /active-theme/download-manager/wpdm-all-downloads.php
thanks for your answer. it seems that is has worked 🙂 thank you. i guess it takes a while for changes to take affect.
Did you just modifiy the wpdm-all-downloads.php file?
Will those changes get overwritten in a plugin update? –> if so i can make a back up from the files you have changed if you tell me which one.
If you want to update, create a new CSV file a new column header ID and use post id as values. If there are only a few to update, you can update manually from: Admin Menu Downloads find the package you want to update Edit and Update.
I’m using the bulk upload feature. I upload all the files to the WP download manger folder and then upload a csv (is this the correct way to upload??).
An issue I’m having is that if I want to change the information of an upload, I upload a new CSV with the changes and it then makes another version of the download. So now I have 2 version, one with the old data and another with the new data. This is not what I want.
I’ve searched the forums and seen this:
‘Advanced CSV importer doesn’t have ID, but if you user bulk import csv, then you can use a column ID in csv file and when you import it, those package will be updated with new data instead of creating new.’
The only column in the csv that mentions IS is column R, ‘uid’. I’ve put a unique name in that but it makes no difference. I still end up with 2 downloads.
I’ve recently purchased Download Manager Pro, and have everything installed and set up on WP 4.8. The Plugin works great, and I’ve recently added the free “Image Button” addon as I want to have a button instead of a “download” link. This plugin installed fine, and I can now see the option within Downloads > Settings > Image Button.
When I select an alternative button design, or upload my own design for the Link Template, all appears well until I click the “Save Settings” button. The loading animation / rotating circle on the button then just spins and spins for ever. The settings are not saved – I’ve tried this using different browsers and computers / connections. We have full write permissions to the DB, so I’m not sure what could be causing this. Would a screen share session be best to illustrate this problem to you?
Hello i test it. All pligins disabled and when i enable wpdm but i add footer widget of top downloads. When i add it to footer then i get whole domain stuck i must manualy over ftp delete wpdm plugin. 100% tested.
I am having trouble with downloads in Google Chrome. When a user tries to download a simple PDF, there is an error, “Failed to load PDF document”. My download hyperlinks are on my website, but the files are on Amazon AWS. There is some kind of restriction somewhere that is preventing me from downloading a file. I am able to download some PDFs, but not all. The file downloads fine in I.E. and Firefox. Also, I have only seen this error with PDFs, but could be happening with other file types, but I haven’t seen yet.
When I click on the Downloads menu in WordPress > Settings > Updates, I can see the Download Manager Pro 4.6 twice. Naturally it should show only once. Can you please explain me how to make sure that it shows only once?
I’m sorry to hear that you removed that feature. One of the main reasons I purchased the All Add-ons Pack was for the WP Pro Membership plugin and its ability to restrict posts as well as downloads. The WP Pro Membership page on this site advertises that:
WordPress Membership Plugin adds a simple meta box to “Edit Pages” screen allowing you to control access for each membership level offered. You can also control Post content via Category.
This is false advertising and the page should be updated.
I need a solution for controlling access to posts and downloads. Do you have any suggestions?

[wpdm_frontend] page does not serve the downloads. It is used to create/manage packages from the frontend. Only allowed user roles can view this page. You can set those roles from Downloads Settings Frontend Tab.
Download Manager manages access to files based on package. You can add package from Admin Dashboard Downloads Add new page or from [wpdm_frontend] page using Add New tab.
First, create a package from admin or frontend area. When creating the package attach files related to that package and manage access settings from Package settings meta box Allow access. Use browse files tab in Attach Files meta box as you are trying to assign server files to the users.
I have performed a clean install of WP Download Manager and added in the Box.com plugin which is the reason this product is on our radar. However, when I install and activate the Box.com plugin, it does not show up in the ‘Settings’ of Downloads. Google, Dropbox and such appear to work fine. It’s just Box.com. Any guidance on what is happening or what I might be doing wrong?
I’m on the latest release of your software, & WordPress 4.8 running Woffice theme. I have nothing else hooking into Box.com.
Yes, you can remove that info using a custom link/page template. Custom link/page template allows you to display download info in your own style.
Go to Downloads Templates page to access all templates. Clone the template you are using now and remove the data you want to hide from there. Then save it. Set this custom template in package settings or shortcode to use it.
I am using Jupiter Theme the latest version. Also using wpdm-download button, custom field, and mailchimp add on.
I recently updated the version from 4.6.3 to 4.6.6 and experiencing bugs:
1. The header (which is normally transparency) turns to white
2. On the Page there’s a new code mk-post-nav mk-post-prev with-image that shows previous and after downloads on the page. I am using download button for people to download straight away without going on the page, when I click on previous or next download it goes to that page.
3. Problems 1 and 2 do not occur when there’s tab slider on the page. (All settings for downloads are the same)
Thank you. The bucket explorer looks better, and I can now create buckets and folders.
However, the Edit->Files page accessible from Downloads->All Files seems broken still. If I try to upload a file to a bucket/folder from within Edit->Files for an example download, the file gets put into an unnamed folder in my S3 bucket that is not visible afterwards from Edit->Files. I can see it in the S3 console, but not within WPDM. I’m not sure how Upload Files is supposed to work. It allows me to pick a file to upload FROM my computer, but doesn’t seem to allow a choice of folder in the bucket to upload TO.
I can successfully link to a file that already exists in an S3 folder, however, its direct download link is broken. For example, in Downloads->All Files, I have created a dummy text file to download called CentOS7-TEST, which is linked to a file called CentOS7.rtf in my TestBucket. Clicking the DIrect Download icon for this file generates:
<Error>
<Code>SignatureDoesNotMatch</Code>
<Message>
The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided. Check your key and signing method.
</Message>
Even though the access and secret keys provided seem to work for other operations.
We are currently trying to debug whether this is an S3 permissions issue of some sort, but that seems unlikely given that bucket and folder creation work, and the console would seem to indicate that read/write permissions are correct for the access key provided. If I can’t get the direct download functionality working I may have to abandon this plugin for my needs.
There are many shortcodes you can use to show downloads in various ways. The simplest one to show all downloads is [wpdm-all-packages items_per_page="10" jstable=0 order_by="modified" order="DESC"]
The simplest one to show all downloads is [wpdm-all-packages items_per_page="10" jstable=0 order_by="modified" order="DESC"]
It shows all downloads in a responsive table.
Install TinyMCE addon, it helps you to insert shortcodes easily without memorizing them.
