I need to have only preview/view option without allowing downloads. How do I configure the capability?
Dear team,
Unfortunately I have been confronted with some scrapers that are trying to systematically download content from my platform despite various security measures. I already have the Download Limit set to 10 daily downloads but scrapers are using IP rotation. I already switched to “send download link to email” but I notice that scrapers can use the same email >10 times.
Is there a way to also limit the same email being used daily? This would help a lot.
Thanks,
Kees
Trying to use the Packages (Query Download Manager Packages) block in our website. It generally works fine, but is missing the Title option in the sort selector appearing in the Block Settings. The only options we’re getting are:
– Publish Date
– Update Date
– Downloads
– Views
– Price
Please add Titles to this orderby dropdown in your packages block. The fact that you can do it from the front end filter in the toolbar but can’t set it as a default in the block is crazy. There is really no point in offering a block experience if it isn’t 100% comparable to the shortcode with the same name. Blocks are supposed to just make your shortcodes easier. Please don’t reply to this with a request to access my website. I have installed Download Manager Pro and the DM Blocks plugin on a generic fresh WordPress site with no other plugins and this feature is still missing so you don’t need access to my site to see see the problem. Other people have pointing this issue out to you in the past, but when they don’t provide website access you ignore them. This is so easy to duplicate you can practically do it with your eyes closed.
Being able to sort a block of packages by Title is a must for me. The fact it was left out of the block I find very confusing when you can do it with the shortcode and it is even included in the frontend filter options.
For example of other people that probably stopped using your plugin because you didn’t take action:
No Sort By Title in Packages widget of Download Manager Blocks
Yes, I know I can use your shortcodes and I am, but I want the easy of use a block represents. I look forward to hearing from you all soon.

My entire website is in Spanish, but when I add a price to a file for download, the default button appears in English. The price is displayed directly on the button, and the text is not aligned vertically to the button. How can I modify or correct this?
My downloads have links with document-tag at the bottom of the template, site/document-tag/tagname etc .. these all give 404 errors. Can you help me find out why ?
Hi WP Download Manager Team,
I’m a pro version user and love the product!
However, we’ve encountered an issue with the Download Limit feature: all downloads in our logs appear to come from the same IP (169.254.129.1), despite being accessed from different networks and browsers. This makes it impossible to enforce per-user limits correctly.
We suspect this may be because our site is behind Cloudflare, which forwards download requests through its edge IPs—so our plugin sees only Cloudflare’s IPs instead of the actual client addresses. Is there a recommended method to configure WP Download Manager (or the server) to capture the real visitor IP when using Cloudflare?
Thank you!
I’m listing all downloads in tabular format on a page – see https://www.sacb.co.za/industry-statistics-legislation/#legislation. How can I edit the titles using CSS to align them all to the left and not centre them?
Hi,
I have the issue that all shortcodes ar not working after upgrading to Download Manager Pro.
The following error gets displayed: https://postimg.cc/bdRphC2H
If I’m downgrading the plugin to the free version it works again so I’m wondering, what’s the issue. Also all other shortcodes are not working.
Hello, Currently i am using following shortcode to display Table view of all Packages.
[wpdm_all_packages thumb=1 items_per_page="50" jstable=1 order_by="publish_date" order="DESC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|publish_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Date|Download::155px"]
Now i want to modify this shortcode to make following changes.
1) How to show each package descriptions below its Title in Table view as currently only the Title is visible with its Meta info like number of files, count of downloads, etc. I want to display description of the package below every title of the package. How to do that ?
2) I have two categories of the Packages as “Publications” and “Case Studies”. In Table view I want to only show “Publications” category packages and hide the others related to “Case Studies”. How to filter this using shortcode ?
I am having trouble allowing my users to download files that I have posted on my Download Manager. Unfortunately, I don’t know when the downloads stopped working, but the site has been up and running since 2017. I am running WordPress 6.8.1 on a Linux host (self-hosted) and using Download Manager Pro 6.7.7. The problem I am now seeing is that when a user clicks on the download button for an ISO file, there is a long 30 or 40 second delay, then a file save dialog window appears. When the user clicks the save button, it appears that the download worked except the downloaded file has a size of 0 bytes. I have re-uploaded the files, but they still fail to download. I have debug enabled, but nothing is showing up in the debug.log
