I’m using WPDM Pro 4.0.6. I’ve created a custom link template using Downloads -> Templates and I can see that the template is being used in [WPDM-archive]. That’s all good.
However, I also want the link template to be used whenever packages are listed in other search results. This should be when using site search, tag cloud or using the category list. Whenever the download is displayed in those results some default WP template is used but I want the custom link to be used.
Can you please advise how I might achieve this?

yes, there are no option for tag archive, as it is actually theme part, you can use a theme from here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/downloads/themes/ , in those theme pages are specially designed for wpdm.
I’ve created a custom link template using Downloads -> Templates editor. When I view lists of downloads in [wpdm-archive] they display correctly using the custom templates. I have the setting “Link Template for Archive Page” set to the new template. That’s all good.
However, when I view post listings that have been created using a tag cloud or site search or category list, the template is not applied. WP appears to be using a standard template in those cases. How can I configure it so that WP always uses the WPDM template assigned to the package.
Thanks,
Andreas.
Hi,
Just purchased WPDM Pro with the Directory addon and am having a few issues getting it up and running.
Here is what I have done:
Installed the plugins, created a category, created two packages and assigned them to that category.
First issue is that when I click to view a category it takes me to a wordpress archives site. Why does this happen? What would I need to do to fix this?
Second issue is that I can’t seem to get the login form or button to appear. I checked the box Show Only Login Button Instead of Login Required Message in the settings. When should it come up? When you view the category or the package. What I would like to happen is that users should not be able to see any of the categories until they login. I created a page called downloads and added the shortcode [wpdm-categories] but that displays all of the categories immediately and I don’t see the login button or login form.

ok give me ftp details in a private to check the issue. But I’m still sure thats something around your server. Probably zlib is not working or installed properly.
Hi Shaon, I understand that you’re using the extended link to put the entire download template into the body of the page, but I want to do this for all my downloads (as I have done with (Download Monitor). Which would make the page incredibly long (and ugly).
Can the lock options not be hidden like they are in your demo site? Even if we use a simple hide/show link rather than an additional layer?

I’ve created this package: http://www.smartchange.it/get/smartchange-app/
It has a simple email lock, set as is:
Ask for Visitor’s Name: Yes
After submit form: Download Instantly
If i download the file via a pc all is ok. The file is immediatly downloaded and a download link is emailed too (no set this option; wpdm emails on its own initiative ^_^ )
But if i download via an Android Phone and its mobile web browser, it downloads a .htm file (smartchange_monitor.htm)
Why?
Hi, I just purchased the plugin and am having the same problem. I am using Shoestrap as my WordPress theme (http://shoestrap.org/). It also seems that there are significant conflicts with my theme, especially on package pages. The package content is displayed twice: once above my page header and once in the correct location (post content). Any help would be greatly appreciated as soon as possible, as we need to launch the downloads portion of our community very soon. I will post admin login info. Thanks!

Thanks for trying, but that plugin will not do what I am looking to do. Maybe I was not clear enough in my previous post. I need to set a unique image for each download. I have ~200 downloads. Setting each one, one by one, is not an option. Setting the same image for all 200 downloads is not an option either. If it was I could just do this with the native plugin’s functionality. Any other ideas?
Hi Shaon
Again thanks for the reply – just deleted the recent installation of this update and reinstalled the plugin from the directory and the bulk delete function works fine now for multiple packages and for selected single ones too. So as far as the deleting of expired downloads is concerned I can complete that task.
However choosing a single item/package and choosing ‘delete permanently’ from the edit/delete option beside the file ID is still not working, so perhaps there is still a problem that needs resolving. Is this the same in the Pro version?
But for now I can continue to evaluate, but its now more likely that I’ll purchase the Pro version for added functionality shortly as the site is nearing completion.
Thanks
David
After Custom Fields activation i got an issue http://subz.blog-spot.gr/
My slider is not working and also some widgets ( maybe with javascript ) including New Downloads
I bought and installed the WPDM Directory Add-on.
I placed the [wpdm-archive] short code on a page.
When I try to load the page, the WP theme disappears and the site menu is displayed vertically (normally horizontal) and is devoid of all style.
The problem does not happen if I change the WP theme to one of the built in WP themes like Twenty Fourteen.
I am using a theme from RocketThemes. Their themes are based on the Gantry Framework which I am pretty sure uses Twitter Bootstrap.
I went to Downloads -> Settings -> Misc Settings to try the different options under Twitter Bootstrap. Every time I press the “Save Settings” button, I get an indication the settings successfully saved – but if I reload the page, I see Twitter Bootstrap has reverted to the Active setting.
What’s going on with the Twitter Bootstrap setting in the plugin and what can be done so I can use this plugin with my theme?
WP [3.8.1] – Download Manager [Version 4.0.6] – WPDM Archive Page [Version 2.1.0]
I can send login info if needed.
Thanks,
–Chris
actually you can do that in various way,
One way is , create a package ( Downloads Add New ) for resellers add all reseller files and apply password lock from Lock Option in Package Settings metabox. So when a reseller comes to that page he will need to enter password to download files. Same process for agent.
Another Way is. if resellers and agents are under different user roles. then you can create one for more packages for them and from Access field simply need to select the user role ( reseller or agent ) you want to give access to that package. But let me know if you still not clear.
yes, we kept file type as the icon for all downloads table.
Hi Shaon,
I have the same issue in version 4.0.4, icons not working even if I uploaded them and select, still the default ones appear. Does this code still need to be adjusted as explained above ? I opened wpdm-all-downloads.php but I think the line 30 and 31 is no longer valid, I mean I guess it must be probably edit in another line. Could you please help?
Also, can you please explain how to hide no of files and no of downloads so that they are not visible? Thank you
sorry for the issue, we update the add-on but missed to update link in all add-on pack. anyhow you can download now.
I just got purchasing and I am not able to download all of the files associated with my order / account. For example, when I go to download protect hotlink plugin / addon, all I get is a file downloaded named “file-not-found.txt”.
Hi,
The MP3 player seems good but I don’t see how you can individually download those files as the admin CP suggests – http://unofficialmills.co.uk/mp3downloads/download/january-2014-podcasts-2/
if its to remove packages that users don’t have permission to login to your admin portal, select settings from the download manager section, and you will see an option which is called When user is not alowed to download: under access settings. Change this to Hide Everything, this will remove the package form the search results unless the user has access to the package.
Borsato is it all results you want to remove, or just packages users don’t have access to ?
When on a category, all downloads are shown. I want to sort the downloads by subcategory and show the subcategory title above.
See screenshot.
Also, the first subcategory is called ‘Datasheets’, but the first downloads visable are from the subcategory ‘Manuals’. Is there a way to manage this?
