I need to secure the downloads for my client and he is asking for a very specific way to do things. I want to know if I am able to do this (described below) with the Micro Form add-on. or to what extent will add on’s do this?
to access the downloads, there should be a login (username or email, preferably email) and password, or the option to register an account. The register account fields would be full name, company name, phone number and email address. My client wants to control access by email address, so when someone registers, he will have to confirm or deny that email address having access.
Once the email address is confirm, all the user has to do is enter their email address and it gives them access to the downloads.
Is this, or something like this remotely possible? do you have any suggestions on some similar way to do this? or if its custom work, is it something you would be willing to assist with for an additional fee?
We do not want to show all our downloads on the archive page, only ones from certain categories.
Is there an easy way to do this?
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?
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.
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?
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
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”.
