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.
Man, setting up this plugin is probably one of the most complicated plugins I’ve used before. When entering in any shortcode to my downloads page, all I get it some generic title: wdpmpro
All I want to to do is get all of my categories to show like in the demo, but it’s proving super difficult to do.
I have a membership site that is offering downloads.
Each package has multiple files and a user downloads all at once and the plugin is arhiving them.
And the cache is occupied with that archvies, I can’t stay each day deleting the cache. Is there a setting to empty cache?
I’m working on sorting by date.
I must add a columm named date to the tabel “ahm_files”.
The plugin must only write the date of all new Downloads to the database.
And there you are.
The mysql command must be “order by date asc”
It’s a lot of work.
Thank you for replying.

The solution was downloading and installing an update the form builder plugin. The availability of this update, however, did not show on my plugins page.
There is another problem presenting itself. When I assign a form lock to two of my downloads. Only the first on the page will work correctly. The second one redirects to a blank page with a download link after the form is submitted.
Another thing is, I don’t get an email with the form’s data. I do have ticked that box in the form builder.
This is the website i’ve developed: http://www.cashmatic.it/download/
You can see 4 “public” downloads, listed with the wpdm-archive shortcode (we’re now deciding between this and wpdm-all-packages shortcode).
The next step is adding some “reserved” downloads, for registered users (we’re deciding too if the users must be “simple” registered or with a custom user role). So… can you explain me, please, the steps i must follow for reach my target?
The idea: private downloads don’t displays the “Download” link but displays something like “Login”
When the user clicks on the “Login” link he can login or register himself
Thank you
if you are using nextgen gallery, please add following code at the end of download-manager.php, that will resolve the conflict with nextgen gallery:
function wpdm_skip_ngg_resource_manager($r){
return false;
}
add_filter('run_ngg_resource_manager', 'wpdm_skip_ngg_resource_manager');
We have had a issue now which was brought to our attention last week.
We have WP Download Manager Pro on our website http://www.apreco.co.uk and up until recently all was fine.
Now all the downloads finish are open in Adobe reader as corrupt.
We have been on to our webhosting company who assure us nothing has changed there end.
I have disabled all the other plugins and still the issue remains.
sorry, actually previous and text text is in .js/jquery.dataTables.js, any to change the text, please open wpdm-all-downloads.php
replace ( line# 142 ~ 145 ) :
var dtable = jQuery('#wpdmmydls').dataTable( {
"sDom": "<'row-fluid'<'span6'l><'span6'f>r>t<'row'<'span6'i><'span6'p ",
"sPaginationType": "bootstrap"
} );
with:
var dtable = jQuery('#wpdmmydls').dataTable( {
"sDom": "<'row-fluid'<'span6'l><'span6'f>r>t<'row'<'span6'i><'span6'p ",
"sPaginationType": "bootstrap",
"oLanguage": {
"oPaginate": {
"sFirst": "First page", // This is the link to the first page
"sPrevious": "Previous page", // This is the link to the previous page
"sNext": "Next page", // This is the link to the next page
"sLast": "Last page" // This is the link to the last page
}
}
} );
and for this: http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/
you will need wpdm directory add-on ( http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-directory-add-on/ ).
Any response? My downloads are broken!
An update: I’ve tried changing the URL base urls, the 404’s still persist.
Current Settings:
PDM Category URL Base: downloads
WPDM Package URL Base: download
TEST Settings:
PDM Category URL Base: downloads22
WPDM Package URL Base: download22
Urls changed, but still showed 404 error.
So, I don’t think this issue is related to URL base conflicts.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
The download manager was working well for my client for many months, then yesterday they reported all package download pages showing a 404 error.
Here is a link to the downloads page and you can test individual download details pages: http://www.redwoodhill.com/download-center/
How should I problem solve this issue?
I’m running Version 3.3.8 and WordPress 3.6.1.
