“if you have 2 different url for site url and home url , such issue may happen, in that case, need to replaec site_url with home_url from modules/canonical-url.php”
http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/topic/urls-incorrect-with-subdirectory-installation/
just noticed this. my users are complaining. seemed to work fine before & I don’t think I changed anything. please let me know how I can fix this – thank you!
I deleted the older version 4.0 and there’s no other download manager plugin installed. I tried to install 4.01 and it failed. Next I tried uploading the 4.01 folder via ftp. It appears in the plugin list, but it will NOT activate. At this point I have no downloads – nothing. Need help.
if you need nextgen active, you can apply the patch here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/topic/0kb-download-process-php-next-gen-gallery/
may you please explain your icon issue with a url please.
I deactivated the updated plugins but it made no difference. Then I was reading the support forums and saw a post about conflicts with NextGen Gallery so I deactivated that plugin and the downloads are working again!! That plugin has caused so many problems for us, I’m just getting rid of it altogether now.
The icons still are not showing though. Any tips on why? I’m using a custom template that looks like so:
<div class="span6"
<div class="thumbnail"
<div class="media"
[thumb_60x60]
<div class="media-body"
[download_link btn btn-success] i style=”margin: 2px 0 0 5px;opacity:0.5″ class=”icon icon-th-large” > [file_size]
</div
</div
</div
</div
The html is not broken like is here, i had to write like this for it to appear…..
Hi,
Today I was uploading new files to our site and noticed that the icons aren’t showing anymore. When I tested a download it says the file cannot be opened because it has been corrupted (for both PDF and Excel file types). This was working for us fine when I made uploads about a week ago. For some reason now it stopped working.
Does this have anything to do with the auto update that WordPress ran recently? That’s the only thing I can think of that’s changed really…other than a couple of plugins that were updated today (WordPress SEO, Google Analytics for WordPress, and Display Widgets).
See here for example: http://www.fashioncapsule.ca/shoppers/lookbooks/
We have files that are password protected on other pages which are really important for the fashion season coming up very soon. Will updating the plugin help, or will it make it worse?
Thanks!
Shaon,
I went to my downloads section and downloaded the 4.0.0. When installing the plugin it still shows up as RC2. Can you please send me a link to the new version?
I am suppose to launch a website tomorrow and needed a robust plugin to manage downloads. After using the the Free version of WP Downloads Manager I was happy with the plugin. I purchased the pro plugin because of the things it claimed to do.
It is a much worse experience than the free plugin. I can not find a single template that will properly display my download link.
I have had to use multiple plugins to achieve similar functionality to the free plugin, such as the Tiny MCE Button plugin, which even after install is not half as robust as the free version. Without this I will have to go into each package and change the template without the advantage of using the shortcode in my product admin page.
I am very unhappy. I have spent valuable hours and $45 on a plugin that is not ready for market. I am very unhappy with this plugin.
The only advantage I have seen is the ability to download multiple downloads. Now that they are downloaded I can’t make a format work to display them properly. I am very frustrated. In all the years I’ve been working with WordPress I’ve never been this unhappy with a plugin experience.
Is it possible to display the total amount of available downloads in a widget or a post? The total amount is shown under All Packages in the admin area so I assume it can be done on the frontend as well?
Thanks in advance.
I’ve created a test package containing two files. I want a post to show the download links to all files in the test package without linking to a separate download page. How can I do this?
I have been using DMpro for quite some time and have been happy. However, I recently updated the plugin. Now the individual file download option is corrupting this files. If I download the entire “package” as a zip, I can still open all the files just fine. It is just the individual file download that is having issues.
did you change anything in code? as [wpdm-all-packages] is completely functional ( http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/all-downloads/ ) , anyhow please send a temporary wp-admin login info to support@wpdownloadmanager.com to check your issue
download wpdm directory add-on again, unzip it and install 2.x with wpdm pro v4
If you are migrating from wpdm pro v3.3.8. As wpdm pro v4 moved to custom post type, it was not possible for us to keep same package id, as they already could be consumes by other post. So you will have to edit all package short-codes to set proper id again, category short-code will remain same
I tried migrating from 3.3.8 to version 4 and had to roll back to previous version since my downloads stopped working. I was able to migrate all packages. However, the categories did not migrate and the ‘password lock’ option for each package was no longer enabled. When I enable the password lock for a package the correct password still appears. I had to go in and enable the password lock for all packages. I only have 12 packages so this is not too big of a problem for me, but I imagine for sites with hundreds of packages this could be an issue.
On the front end, my downloads have stopped working. When entering the password for a file, it submits but returns the error message ‘Wrong password’ in the pop-up. This same behavior happens with Bootstrap JS/CSS enabled and disabled.
Before the update to 4.0 all of my downloads worked correctly with Bootstrap disabled. Is there a known bug in the ‘lock options’?
Also, the wpdm Amazon S3 extension does not work with wpdm 4.0. Do you plan on updating this plugin? If so, when?
Right now without a working password-lock option and Amazon S3 plug-in I can’t update to wpdm 4.0.
Also when i try to install WPDM-Directory addon WP reports not a valid plugin format.
Same, here. I followed the upgrade procedure from 3.8 pro and now all downloads are missing. Is there something else to do that was not stated?
final release of 4.0.0 coming on 25th Jan, after that we will start with add-ons, hopefully all will be done within next 2-3 weeks.
When will this add-on support version 4.0.0?
Thank you Shaon – I tried the method you suggested without success. I’m not entirely sure about the Link template or how to go about it.
So I’m having a couple of (what I consider) major issue after activating the PRO version
The main homepage of my site disappears and It’s replaced with a RSS / Login screen.
The table which the DL links resides, absolutely messes up. Due to the Link label asking to login before downloading
The site is live (greenxled.cn/downloads), so I decided to go back to the FREE version for the time being until I can sort these issues out first. The free version seems to work seamlessly after activation, OK without the added features of PRO. So why is the PRO version so temperamental requiring all these changes?
I purchased PRO for the added features – So any help in making this work right would be appreciated
Hi Shaon,
Do you have a date when you plan on making carousel available? I need this plug in to display new packages/downloads available on my front page of my website.
I currently have : WordPress Download Manager Pro Extended Short-Codes Version 2.0.0 plug in installed and [wpdm_carousel] does not work.
Is there another way?
Thank you.
ok, i found in recent post how to count individual file downloads:
in process.php, line 21
replace:
if(!isset($_GET['ind'])&&!isset($_GET['nostat']))
with
if(!isset($_GET['nostat']))
but one feature is still missing: how can i display the name of the single files in stats?
any help really appreciated ๐
thanks,
tom
I need to import 2K+ downloads with straight id order, i can`t even upload them manually from bulk import because of:
400 Bad Request Request Header Or Cookie Too Large nginx/1.4.4
I’m so happy, just like my avatar.
How can I update my downloads page to look like http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/all-downloads/?
Is this an add-on? I tried going through the settings in the back-end and could not find a way to update this.
I call and ask.. all they tell me is one of my plugins or more is causing issues, probably because it hasn’t been updated since the new wp update came out.. I was told to use this godaddy plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/p3-profiler/ to check the health of the plugins. It was showing dm and add ons was using too many resources. I deactivated everything except download manager. now it’s fine unless i get an influx of downloads.
really hoping to update and that issues will be resolved. I really want to use the newsletter feature!!
