I have WPDM – Custom Access Level enabled.
1) I made a Category named “Temporary” and set access only to Administrator only.
2) I made a “Test File” package, set “Allow Access” to Administrator only & set it to the “Temporary” category that I made.
3) I edited the main Downloads page to add the category:
[wpdm_category id="eq-temporary" operator="in" title="Temporary" desc="Temporary files are here" toolbar="0" order_by="field_name" order="asc" item_per_page="15" template="5716afdad2d76" cols=1 colspad=2 colsphone=1]The “Test file” package shows up on the sidebar.
The Temporary category shows up on the Downloads page.
Users not logged in can enter the Temporary category, although they are presented with a Login/Register box, but I have registrations turned off.I assumed doing this method would automatically “hide” category/packages from public view if they do not have access to it.
For security purposes, I do not want people to even try and access files they should not be.
I am sure there are situations where you want them to show to “tease” users, but that is not what I need to do here.
I have files I am ready to upload that are for myself only that I want to archive or give special access to a select few people.Thanks.

In reply to: Cant download files
So I finally found out what plugin was messing with the downloads.
Because of WP Super Cache I couldn’t download files anymore. Its disabled now.
DO you know if there are settings in that addon which mess with the download manager?
I’d like to enable it again.We have been using your product for ~3-4 months and overall really like it. But we do not understand the Stats section. The numbers are very low, where we know many products/files have been dowloaded. After some troubleshooting, it appears that only full package downloads are being tracked, but not individual files within a package. (On most of our packages, we have “Allow Single File Download” option set to true since that’s that nature of our file delivery scheme)
Where are individual file download stats?
Thank you.
Topic: updates not working
I have been trying to update from 4.5 to 4.5.5 for a while now. I go to downloads – settings – updates.
I see a list of products I have bought. First confusing thing. I do not see “update” I see “install”. I don’t want to install… I want to update. Very confusing. Should it say update? Do I have this set up wrong? My license is confirmed.
I could never figure out how to update. So finally I just click “Install”. After a moment it says “success”.
So expect to see the latest version. But no… i go to plugins and it tells me I need to update it.
Finally, I go to my FTP and do it that way. But if I have to update this plugin via FTP everytime… well… I can’t tell you how disappointing that would be.
In reply to: Category Missing
I contacted theme.co and there is no way of making it work, so I am now having to use the Yoast SEO plugin as you suggested.
I have it installed but unsure the setting for it to make the category show correctly.
I added the code in the PHP as directed by Yoast and went to “Advanced” and enabled the Breadcrumb.
I am looking at the section for “Taxonomy to show in breadcrumbs for post types” and there are 3 different dropdowns there for Posts, Downloads, Portfolio (none, tag, category, format). I have tried all of them and all I get is a navigation (ie: Home EverQuest Default Old) list above the main post.Hi
I am running WordPress 4.4 on Nginx and have installed the following plugins:
Download Manager version 4.5.4
WPDM – Archive Page version 2.8.1I have added the following to a page to display documents by category:
[wpdm-archive button_style=”default” Items_per_page=”2″ category=”category-slug” order_by=”field-name” order=”asc|desc”]The categories display on the page but a Loading button/image is displayed beneath them with no documents displayed. I eventually get a 504 gateway timeout error.
The following error is logged in the nginx log:

Hi, I am trying to search the downloads using keywords that fall in a specific date range but, unfortunately, I could not find a way to do this. Could you please tell me how can I achieve it?
Thanks.
In reply to: Is it possible to detect newly uploaded files?
When you lock a download using email lock, all collected email through lock are listed as your subscribers to notify them about the package later. You can check on WPDM addons , which provides options for users to be a subscriber.
On my new download packages I add, I get an error code on the individual package pages. The error code is: page-template-1col-ex-autdio.php
On previous downloads files I’ve added, the page works correctly. On our archive page of all downloads, I have no problem actually downloading the items; the problem occurs when you click on the document title to view specific info on the individual package.
Suggestions?
Thank you!
I made a blank page for Archive and set it in the WPDM settings to point to that page.
I understand that overall, the main theme is what power’s that page but I would like to know how to set the download files to be tagged as an archive file and which are not? Right now WPDM is listing all of the downloads as an archive item.In reply to: Extra "Slash" in URL on Frontend Uploader Page

I would like these user roles to edit packages from the back end, not the front end. These users have dashboard access, but the “Downloads” menu is different for them than for admins. They don’t see “Categories” for example. And when they click on “all packages”, they can see the packages listed, but they cannot click the title to edit. Again, they are in the back end, not front end.
How can I allow other users to edit packages from the back end without making them administrators?
There seems to be an issue on the Dashboard for the recommended downloads. There is this tiny thing where I would assume a preview of the file would be but its messed up? All I have on a page via code is [wpdm_user_dashboard]
See attachment.In reply to: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING
Sorry to pile up questions – but they all surround a single email lock download instance.
If you go to http://www.mind-morph.com/thank-you, you can test these issues:
1) The Captcha code is getting cached. As a result, Once I click Captcha link first time, I can sit at one computer and enter many incorrect email addresses, i.e. test@test.com and click download and system automatically assumes your Captcha is valid.
Even if I set 1 download per user, will still allow multiple downloads with invalid email addresses at this computer – which means robo entries would be accepted since Captcha is cached.
2) The system allows duplicate subscriber emails. Again, can solve with setting for 1 download for per user, but what if I have multiple different email lock downloads. Can we track each different download on a per email address basis?
3) Is there a way to force the download link to open the PDF in a new window. Currently target is same window.
4) Even though i have chosen option for “Download Instantly” I am still being sent an email link to download. Can I stop the email link?

In reply to: Only subscribers could download files
When you lock a download using email lock, all collected email through lock are listed as your subscribers. You can check on WPDM addons , which provides options for users to be a subscriber.
I’m using DM in two ways – in some places I use a shortcode, and in other places (like where I need smooth ajax pagination), I use a Visual Composer block where I filter my downloads based on custom post type and tags. How can I force DM to generate a link to the file by default in both cases? For the first, I think just editing the link template can take care of that. For the latter, I’m a bit lost on that.
Basically if the link is this:
http://foo.staging.ettops.com/download/hr-file-4/
I want that link to be to the file itself, not the interstitial page. I’m open to hacking, nowhere on this site does anyone want to see a “page” for the file, they just want the file.
In reply to: Subscriber shortcode
When some downloads an email locked packages by providing their email address , that address automatically added to subscriber list. So you just have to enable email lock.
Sir,
WPDM is working well, but I am not understanding how to offer a list of files and only display the list users (not subscribers) who are allowed access. I “think” I can do by category or tag, but can you please supply an example.
Here’s what I want to accomplish – show a list of available downloads using shortcode like so:
[wpdm_package id='2432']
[wpdm_package id='1211']
[wpdm_package id='3759']
[wpdm_package id='4487']But if user is NOT allowed to see ID=2432, then it does not display. Can you tell me how to best accomplish this?

In reply to: Bugs found in V 4.5.3
1. This theme requires Premium Package addon, after activating Premium Package page is loading as usual
2. AppMarket theme has its own custom Page Template, If you use ‘Page template’ , it may repeat same meta data that theme template shows. Let me know if you want to enable ‘Pgae template’. ( just comment out
define('WPDM_THEME_SUPPORT', true);line in functions.php file )3. No option to make those category items like featured items, check out this addon http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/minimax-wordpress-drag-drop-page-builder/ It allows you to build carousel like featured downloads easily.
4. Not sure ( we didn’t test it), please test it yourself.
5. Added comment support in download page
6. Download page does have author box on right sidebar, we shall add tag box in next update
7. It does load, it was same issue as no 1
8. Use languages/appmarket.pot to translate Theme
Thanks.
I have a category called ‘General Downloads’ into which I have uploaded 3 packages.
One of my clients is only allowed to see 2 of these packages (I use WPDM – Custom Access Level to restrict access for them).
However, when they log in and go to the page to see their packages although it shows the 2 packages they are allowed to see, it also shows a blank space where the 3rd package would be. It looks like it is deciding on the number of packages to display BEFORE checking that the user is allowed to view all of them. I’m using the [wpdm_category] shortcode as follows :
[wpdm_category id="general-downloads" operator="IN" title="General Downloads" desc="" item_per_page="10" cols=2 colspad=1 colsphone=1 template="56e88fd5077e6"]
Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?
I attach a screenshot of what I’m seeing.
Topic: invisible downloads
Hi there,
is it possible to make all other downloads invisible (remove automatically), that are not uploaded for a special client?Thanks
Hi I just purchased your plugin. I have 2 questions.
1. How do setup a page for users to see all files available to download without asking them to login. I dont want to restrict downloads at all.
2. How can I add a search bar for users to search for documents?
My website is here: http://ankararize.com/work/icma/resource-library/
I set up a page with [wpdm_frontend]
But it’s asking for login
