i need a template to make my downloads instantly download… to completely bypass the intermittent download page (this one http://imgur.com/5yivxb4) are you able to help me to do this without access to the backend?
All i want to do is when your press on a file from the [wp_tree], it just go straight to a download.
I just updated from 4.1.0 to 4.1.1 and everything went to hell! Nothing works anymore. All buttons show Broken image link! The templates for the downloads are gone.
Adding some photos. in the 3.png the downloads were side by side before
UPDATE: I fixed it. It was an error from my end. Sorry for the trouble 🙂
I’ve installed WP Download Manager on a WordPress Multisite installation. I have NOT activated the plugin on the network plugins dashboard, but rather after creating a subsite, I then activated it on each individual subsite.
For each subsite, I’ve entered a (Settings > Basic) FILE BROWSER ROOT sub-directory to match the subsite name (example cls) *note – I did NOT end with a tailing slash. I did this thinking it would create a sub-directory to place uploaded files for each site into the sub-directory /nas/wp/www/sites/wrc/cls. What I found however, was not the case. All files no matter which site… parent (wrc) or subsite (cls) that I uploaded files to via the Dashboard Downloads Interface were instead housed in the /wp-content/uploads/download-manager-files rather than the dir nas/wp/www/sites/wrc/cls directory.
A major clue was that files were getting named with the same ID!
Parent site WRC file upload “Youth Rally Gift Package” shared the same ID as the CLS subsite file “subscription fee schedule” ([wpdm_package id='3011']).
When I looked at this via FTP – it confirmed that all are going into the wp-content/uploads/download-manager-files directory.
I’m guessing there is something not right with my setup? Should I have used the URL STRUCTURE option instead? Your help and wisdom is appreciated.
Hi, I am struggling to bulk upload files using a CSV file. I have attached the file I am using, but I am unsure about the template references, users and the file location. If I upload this file, it just takes me back to the list of existing downloads.
I can upload from server fine, but I have no control over which templates to use, even though I have just purchased the ‘Default values’ plugin.
I need to upload around 1000 files, and I want them all to use the same templates and user access etc.
Can you please help?
It’s not working on my setup – I have checked the radio button on the packages for “allow individual file download” but when looking at the file list on the web page, there is only the download all button at the bottom of the list. Clicking on the individual files does nothing. I don”t even get the “finger” cursor when hovering over the files.
In a previous post when I asked you about this you explained it was because I had applied download to specific users only, and in that case individual downloads will be blocked. You also said that you were re-adding the option soon. I was wondering when because it is a very handy feature that my clients are missing!
I have deleted myself from the web site and turned it over to the client. Yet I am receiving dozens of notifications of file downloads. They are all spam I am certain because there is no captcha in place. This really needs it because I get at least 2 dozen per day.
How am I getting these notifications when my email address is nowhere in the admin any longer?
This is the download page in question.
Hello,
please give me an answer to the problem. I have now a download manager that allow me to create stats and watch the downloads but it do only on the half of the files. All important free downloads are not counted. Free downloads are Amazon S3 downloads.
As I wrote, the packages from S3 and local files are exact the same, expet the linked file. Both packages have one file for download and other settings are the same, include the template to show the shortcode. But in the WDM the S3 files do not get a count.
In an newer post I read that Amazon S3 is Beta. Why you do not give this information on the purchase page? I expect to get well developed and well tested software when purchase.
However, I need a solution for the download counts.
Shaon – I wanted to follow up to see if you have an upgraded plugin. Here are the list of all the problems we are facing for this paid plugin.
Please know that we are launching on Wednesday (tomorrow) and just noticed these problems. We would greatly appreciate any quick help in solving any or all of these issues.
ARCHIVE TEMPLATE
Page template view
# Clicking on the breadcrumb/pathway to go back to the List template view leads to an archive page with a completely different format. The URL ends with /download/ with the subtitle BLOG ARCHIVES instead of the original archive page.
Link template view
# [see attachment] If you are on page 1 and click on “Previous” or on the last page and click on “Next”, the view loads the entire website within WPDM view. It shows the search box followed by the entire website (header + menu + body + footer) for the same view where the archived downloads are supposed to show up. Please modify the archive view so that “Previous” link does not show up when the user is on page 1 and the “next” link does not show up when the user is on the last page of the archive.
# Unlike the category pages, when the user goes from page to page by using the Previous-1-2-3-Next at the bottom, the page does not load and scroll to the top. It stays in the same location. Please keep this functionality consistent. (Low priority)
# Search feature does not work if you use more than one word or spaces after one word.
Category pages
# In the link template view, the “Previous” and “Next” buttons are < and > signs. Please keep this consistent with the archive view.

thanks in advance.
Why the download count is working on ALL other packages with one file with the same template to show but not on S3 linked one?
What you wrote will not count the other packages with local files, too but it do.
The key is working, downloads are working well, it also uploads 30 MB and then fails back to 975 Kb and counts again to around 30MB, just a loop. It seems there is a problem with big files not with the api key.
everything should be ok there now, anyhow please let me know if you face any other problem. BTW, I’ve installed 2.7 . Check these free add-ons http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/downloads/free-add-ons/
Hello,
the members of my blog report that the download stops after around 1 MB. I hecked this and it is true. All downloads with Download Manage Pro” stops after 1 MB with a network failure. I tested the direct download without Download Manager Pro” and it works perfect. No issue with the server or the file.
Please help me on this topic else I get really problems with my customers.
I see, as you are using v2.7, now you can use add-ons from here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/downloads/free-add-ons/
1. download and install “WPDM Extended Short-code” add-on from there to bring the tree back.
2. Download and install “Advanced TinyMCE button”
Hi,
I would like to create a site, where ONLY the user-specific downloads are shown.
I use the add-on “Advanced Access Control” and i created a page using the shortcode [wpdm_my_downloads]. On this page i see all downloads now including the individual ones. But as we have a lot of downloads on the site, the user can hardly find them. Is ist possible to show ONLY the personal files, not the files that can be seen by all visitors?
Thanks for your answer.
Christian
How to make a archive page for “all” downloads and then one for a specific category.
example: “archive-downloads.php” or “archive-ebooks.php”
Hey, im listing my downloads with: [wpdm-all-packages link_template="link-template-panel" ]
But i also want use other page template like: page-template-col2-il
show should i place this? i’ve been trying as:
[wpdm-all-packages link_template="link-template-panel" " page-template-col2-il"]
Excellent, that solves all of my issues except one: how can I embed a shortcode directly from the Edit Post page? It seems I have to copy them over from the Downloads > Packages page into the Edit Post WYSIWYG. I have used other download plugins that add a button to the WYSIWYG editor to summon existing shortcodes (so you don’t have to copy-paste). Does this plugin have functionality like that?
I have a problem with the WPDM Default Values add-on. If I set the Select Default Setting in the menu Allow Access. I want to remove all visitors and allow only registered users to start the download. If I have memory re-enabled all visitors. Aside from this problem with new downloads the default values can not also copied but are standard. I needed help urgently
greeting
Florian
Hi all why do packages appear as blog posts? Ideally I want to output the packages onto a standard page template and not appear on the blog template. Has this got something to do with ‘Post Types’ any help much aprreciated.

Getting errors on my login page as well — all referencing Download Manager.
As the title says, I was hoping I could make someone log in to be able to access all of the downloads, but it looks like each individual file is protected? I don’t want anyone to even be able to see what files are there without logging in. Can this be done?
I dont want you to redo it, I did it myself, I didnt know before that there was a simple setting in the download file page to set the downloads to a user role. Had I known that I wouldnt have asked.
your programmer was sloppy and lazy and Im standing behind that statement. There were conflicts with other plugins found that caused login problems and fields to not show up, so Im sure he never really tested it. He tossed something together and sai d it was done. Id be embarrassed to deliver that low quality of untested and cheap work. he was NOT worth $50+ an hour. If he was in the states he would never be able to keep a job. Im embarrassed for him
thats fine, forget it, I should have never been stupid enough to pay someone 100% before they did anything. I hope others who read this learn from my mistakes.
Lesson learned.
