I just ran into a crazy download limit, that I cannot figure out. I have the stock set at 0. I limited the downloads per user at 3. I had 19 downloads (various users) of the file. All of a sudden, I got a “download limit exceeded” error. I tried messing with the settings – changing the download limit to 10, etc. Nothing worked.
I finally had to create a new download package and I’m worried that it will get stuck again. It’s critically important that it doesn’t get stuck again like that. That page is going to get slammed!
Another thing:
All of a sudden, this page – http://ropaxman.com/wpdmpro/wpdmpro/ – is turning up in my best post list. What on earth is that and how do I get it to stop showing up like that? Where is this page located?
My website is http://ropaxman.com
@jamessawle, just checked your site. tried a few downloads from your site, all of them are working fine, may you please send me specifically where you facing the issue.
actually support team modified wpdm to work with your host actually.
OK – does that mean it has been fixed on my host and I can removed the account? Or will WPDM not work at all since my server does not support output buffering?
I’ve looked elsewhere in the forums but how do I strip the formatting off of Downloads Manager Pro and have it accept the formatting of my installed wordpress theme?
no such option for now, you can can achieve that editing wpdm-all-downloads.php, replace or with and
hello skyflash
Modify the file:
download-manager/wpdm-all-downloads.php
And delete a table Create Date

Sorry, I figured it out right after I posted the last comment.
I have the Plugin Organizer plugin installed that selectively disabled plugins on a per page/post basis. Although it was set to allow the download manager plugin on the downloads page, it was set to disable it globally (i.e. unless specifically enabled on the individual page). Since the pages this plugin uses for download display/access are not “real” pages listed in the wp-admin area, I had to change the setting in plugin organizer to allow the download manager plugin to run globally (on every page) by default.
Now I just have to go back through and disable it on most other pages where it is not needed.
But your plugin is working, with the fix you noted above. Thanks for the help.
Thanks.
yes, but need to edit wpdm-all-downloads.php
yes, possible, but need to edit php file wpdm-all-downloads.php
I’m playing with page shortcodes ๐
Now i’ve modified my download page ( http://www.cashmatic.it/download/ ), removed the wpdm-archive shortcode and used the wpdm-all-packages code
Now id’ like to style the resulting page, removing the downloads counter and, if its possibile, translate the menu elements
We only just updated the plugin from v3.3.5 to v3.3.8 and the archive add-on v1.7.0 from 1.6.0, and the layout is completely different. All the icons that had been previously chosen for the existing layout now looks awful, and even creating a custom bootstrap thumbnail template to use the 60×60 icon doesn’t help it look any better.
Is there a way to better control the size of each link, and to adjust the pagination? using the [wpdm-archive] shortcode on the downloads page, and nothing we do seems to alter that from anything but 10 items per page.
Also, is there a way to empty the cache from the admin pages? We just realized that there was nearly 2Gb of unnecessary files collected in that cache folder, and the only way to get rid of it was to have an admin go in move the folder because it couldn’t be deleted via FTP, and we couldn’t complete the upgrade process as your instructions state until that was done.
I see that you created a test page. Weird. Cause I used my iPad using the Puffin browser to download using that [wpdm_all_packages] it only downloads the link, but when I use the ordinary by category short code it correctly downloads the file.
However, when I use the Google Chrome browser it says it cannot proceed but when I use the Safari browser it successfully show the pdf file. Is this on my part? Or the browsers doesn’t support the download?
Or will this be fixed IF ever I but the PRO version?
you should see like this http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/all-downloads/ with search option and categroy drop down, anyhow please send a temporary wp-admin login info to support@wpdonwloadmanager.com to check this.
Hi,
We have a busy site with lots of editors. They all need to see and manage each others’ downloads. We have set the admin options as ‘Allow only [Editor] and upper level to administrate this plugin’ โ however ‘Downloads’ only shows up in the sidebar for the admin user, unless we enable ‘Multi-user’, which then only lets the users see their own uploads which isn’t what we want.
The settings page says thus: “If multi-user disabled, all allowed users will able to see, manage all wpdm packages” โ but Editors cannot access Downloads unless multi-user is enabled.
Work around/fix? Does something need to be flushed somewhere to allow Editors to adminstrate the plugin? We tried adding a new user too, to see if they were assigned access correctly, but no.
Could really do with a quick fix for this!
Thanks,
Chris.
This is the same problem that I have, and one that indicates it is not the solution for me, Shaon.
[wpdm-all-packages] show all files in all categories. If I put the category-id=”” in the code, the plugin will show only that category, BUT I want the page shows all downloads, and a user can filter them.
Ok.
So, I wish that all downloads in all categories were shown in the same page. But I also want to allow one user to filter (by toolbar) downloads by category, within that page.
The documentation for this function Wp Download Manager is shown, but can not seem to get that result.
But the effect is not the same… with your solution is shown for a category page, the function documented instead would show all the downloads in each category with the possibility of having a filter or by category.
This is even possible? How?
yes, you can use short-code [wpdm-all-packages category=categiry-id] for specific category.
What’s the shortcode anyway?!?
How do I get category pages, either done via the system or in a page using shortcode, to display like http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/all-downloads/
Hi Shaon,
in the order page I don’t see anyway the domain associated, but I was convinced that other functions were to appear on the plugin (you are replying to my other topic about, I am referring to the filter all downloads) and instead I guess I was wrong.
Actually, I have resolved this issue.
However, I am running into one more issue. My drop-down menu is behind the categories headers. I’ve tried to locate the selector for my dropdown in the template files and give it a higher Z index, but not having much luck. Screenshot attached.
