In reply to: Amazon S3 Not Working
I have had a functioning WPDM plugin on my site for about 2 years. This is the second time I have had issues with Amazon S3 permissions. I am getting access denied errors all of the sudden, and do not remember how we got around that last time. I just updated from V4.5.5 to V4.5.6 last night and did not fix.
This is not the same issue, considering not all downloads are getting blocked, but I am getting the same error message of “access denied”. The Download buttons I have created before last week are still working as expected and provide access to files which were uploaded to the Amazon S3 servers before last week.

<Error>More clues from my Support team:
We are using WP Download Manager (WPDM, ) for file sharing on our online Support Lounge as a way to provide access to files hosted on the Amazon S3 servers.Using this plugin requires to:
1- Upload files to the Amazon S3 servers
2- Create a WPDM on the website backend
3- Copy the short code (for example: [wpdm_package id='19690']) pointing to this WPDM entry
4- Paste the short code on the Support Lounge page – the Support Lounge page then shows a Download button which when clicked starts the download of the file hosted on the Amazon S3 servers.I have had no issues for weeks going through these steps (1-4) and providing our customer access to download files online. When I uploaded 2 new files (a ZIP and a PDF) on the Support Lounge at the end of last week, I was able to go through steps 1 to 4 but clicking the Download button would show the following error instead of starting the download of the file hosted on the Amazon S3 servers:
I suspected the files I had added to the Amazon S3 servers were somehow incorrectly uploaded, I therefore performed the following test. Using the Amazon S3 URL of a file I had uploaded in the past (URL previously proven to be good) and for which was already shared on our Support Lounge, I went through steps 2 to 4 to see if the problem was with the WP site / WP plugin. This steps also created a non-working Download button – same error message about Denied Access.
Going through steps 2 to 4, using a file hosted locally to the website rather than on the Amazon S3 servers, I can create a working Download button.
Interestingly, the Download buttons I have created before last week are still working as expected and provide access to files which were uploaded to the Amazon S3 servers before last week.
It looks like there might be an incompatibility between S3 and the WPDM. Maybe S3 was updated with slightly new requirements for which the WPDM plugin needs to be updated? There is a new version of the plugin available, shall we try it?
Topic: Only Admin can download
I am using your plugin to create a downloads section for a wordpress site. The key is that all of these files cannot be downloaded by the general public, only by registered users with certain WordPress user roles (we have had to create new roles.)
When someone comes to the site, the download link is not there, it requires you to login. (good) As an administrator I can login, access and instantly download any file, but if I create an account as “NDA Customer”, “Partner” or “Developer” and then login as that customer, the DM will just spin for a while then give me a 503 error.
I have checked on the download file and it has all of the right users identified.
Then I checked by adding “all visitors” to one of the downloads. Again, only the admin could download.
THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM!!!
I need to address this ASAP. I am totally OK with the answer being “you didn’t test this enough” because I was only testing with the admin account and a general user account (to ensure the files were hidden).
But I need to know how to fix this because I need others to be able to download.
Topic: Multiple Downloads Shortcode
I am wanting to see if there is a way to include any download that is added to the site?
I understand that you can use the shortcode, “[wpdm_package id='1,2,3,4']. However, I would like to make it easy for my client to add a download/file to the site and it automatically populates to the page (something like: [wpdm_package id='all']. Is this possible?
Love the plugin. Thanks!
In reply to: Download link tries to open file instead of download
Hi Jass,
Thanks for replying!
I realized that the downloads where working just fine, up until I installed WP Super Cache. I also realized that all downloads via your plugin are done via a GET request. So I checked the option: ‘Don’t cache pages with GET parameters. (?x=y at the end of a url)’ and the downloads are working again. Maybe it’s a good idea to inform people about this in an FAQ or something, just a thought.
Thanks for your input! Much appreciated!
Sincerely,
Guido VisserHi, I’m trying to update my WPDM Pro to new version v.4.5.6
I follow all your instructions:
Delete wpdm pro 3 from wp-admin plugin manager ( don’t worry, it will not delete your files )
Install & Activate v4
Install WPDM 3 to 4 Data Migration Add-on
Go to Download Manager Settings Page
Click on migrate Tab
There you will see the list of all old packages, select max 100 package at a time, then click on “Save Settings” button at the button ( but if you can set exce
You can do that repeatedly until you are done with importing all packages
Finally you’re ready to continue with wpdm pro v4But when I go to Migrate Tab, there is no download available to the migration process as you can see in the Screenshot attached.
If I revert back to the v.3.3.8 all downloads are there.
Any help on how to migrate successfully to new version?
In reply to: Customize [wpdm-all-packages] and "All Downloads"
we also have a customization team and if you want to use them, please contact customize@wpdownloadmanager.com for quote.
Or
You need to follow the steps to customize
You need to copy the
tpls/dir from download manager plugin dir to active theme dir. (This is required to do in-case you want to update your plugin later the change wont be effected on design)
Then rename it copiedtplsdir ( which is in your theme dir ) todownload-manager
Now editwpdm-all-downloads.phpindownload-managerdir ( which is in your active theme dir )Is there a way to display a list of downloads (preferably by category) on another site of a multisite network?
example: WPDM is active in one site of the network (not the main), and we want to display a list of downloads from one category in another site of the network.
Can this be done by network activating the plugin? or by means of a php call in a template on the “other” site? any other option?
thanks.
In reply to: Is it possible to "Search" the downloads ?
You actually will need this add-on http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-access-control/ , there is a short-code [wpdm_my_downloads] which will meet your requirement.
Hello there !
First of all, thanks for this amazing plugin, it has been working so good, it was a relief to have it.
I only have two “problems” :– I can’t find a way to customize the table made with the [wpdm-all-packages] shortcode, especially the first row, which one can be used to sort the downloads. This row is composed of “Title”, “Categories”, Create Date” and “Download”. In fact, I would like to replace the “Categories” section by an “Extract” section, where could be viewed the actual extract of the document I’m trying to download.
– In WordPress back office > Downloads > All Downloads, I can’t figure out how to sort items on their Categories. It is possible to do so on the “Title” and “Date” section, but not on the others. How can I make the Categories section sortable ?
Thank you for instance, and sorry for those specific questions. I haven’t found a similar one in the forum.
I wish you a good continuation.Best Regards,

In reply to: Register on Login Screen does not work
Thank you so much!
Just a quick question. Is there a way to change the button “Go to Dashboard” (Shows on Login screen if you are already logged in) to go to a different URL? Bassically, I don’t really need the user profile pages as I am only using this to manage downloads for people who want them. I do not need the “membership portion.”
Thanks!
hi there,
I’ve tried everything to follow the instructions but not too clear.
How do I setup a page to show all available downloads to a logged in user, only if they have access to the download.
My user roles are on the category.
Thanks,
Jay
the short-code is user there is [wpdm_all_packages] , details: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_all_packages-list-all-downloads-in-tabular-format-in-a-page/
Hi,
i have set up a page on my site and used the shortcode [wpdm_user_dashboard] as per the settings in the plugin for the user dashboard. I can access the dashboard and see the generic overview but if i click on any of the menu items in the dashboard i jsut get a 404 error. Do i need to set up the internal structure as well or is there a way the plugin does this?
Also can I add something to the menu within the dashboard, i want to add in “All Downloads” that shows all of the available downloads to the logged in user.
Are the above possible?
Cheers
In reply to: Finding missing/corrupted packages?
@19wpeden63, Actually you will never have to reattach file except they are deleted manually from the source location. However if you reupload missing files using ftp in their original source from where they were attached, all downloads will work fine again.
@eltonbean, thanks 🙂In reply to: Advanced Custom Fields in wpdm-all-packages
Can you be please be more detailed on how I can get a field created by the advanced Custom Fields to show up in the wpdm-all-packages? I have copied the wpdm-all-downloads.php file into my theme, but I am unsure how to access the Custom Fields in order to have them display.
Hello,
I am creating a website http://www.eleftheri-kythrea.com/v2
This website has about 100 magazines from 1979.
Each magazine has a table of context. i was able to recreate the pdf file in multiple pdf files consisting only the table of context.
Meaning that instead of having a huge pdf file i created 20 smaller pdf files with title etc.
An example is http://www.eleftheri-kythrea.com/v2/%cf%8c%ce%bb%ce%b5%cf%82-%ce%bf%ce%b9-%ce%b5%ce%ba%ce%b4%cf%8c%cf%83%ce%b5%ce%b9%cf%82/
Now what i want is if someone searches something in my website to be able to find what they are searching fast and be able to download it.
Do you have something that might help me out ?Thank you in advance
George
Hello;
– 1. I currently have an existing directory structure containing ZIP files
– 2. which I’d like to insert into existing pages in a table-view
– 3. with a direct download linkI have figured out that for 1. I can attach a folder to a Package, but inserting that Package (only Link Template is available or I am not understanding the template concept) only offers a link to an extra (and unwanted) downloads page.
If need be I can walk away from the existing directory structure and create custom Packages / Categories / whatever is required. Most important is have an existing list or table of files be injected in existing pages with a direct download link (ie. straight to the file.)
I’m usually persistant enough in figuring stuff out but this plugin and its mechanisms has me absolutely dumbfounded.
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
In reply to: Upload and Download of files?
Sorry its not clear, What you meant by exchanging files?
In pro version, to give access to different user different files
One way is , create a package ( Downloads Add New ) for one user add all that user files and apply password lock from Lock Option in Package Settings metabox. So when a user comes to that page he will need to enter password to download files.Another Way is. if users are under a user role. then you can create one for more packages for them and from Access field simply need to select the user role you want to give access to that package.
But let me know if you still not clear.
Hello! I am using a membership plugin to protect content on my site. The one part I’m having difficulty with is the popup format of generated by WPDM. I’m 99% certain this used to work, because I recall being pretty excited about it. But either I’m imagining that, or something has gone wrong.
Using the popup is important to us for navigational purposes (to keep the user on the page that lists the downloads — they click the link, see the popup, grab the download, close the window — now they are back to the same list of downloads).
But the download button should be hidden from sight for some users. This is done (by the membership plugin) with a shortcode.
I created a page template that uses shortcodes to determine what the users will see, and as I mentioned earlier, I’m sure it was working at one time. But now I’m seeing the shortcode being output as plain text, and not functioning as they should.
Any idea why, or how to fix this? (Screenshot attached, and access to my site will be in the next private message.)
