Hi,
We are using your plugin together with WPML. We are using the following shortcode: [wpdm_packages template="individual_download" order_by="post_title" order="asc" paging="asc" items_per_page="10" async=0 cols=3 paging=1 colsphone=1 colspad=1]However, this is showing all of the different packages on all of the languages. So, https://www.heskins.com/all-downloads/? is the same as https://www.heskins.fr/tous-les-t%C3%A9l%C3%A9chargements/
How do we have the English downloads on the UK site and French downloads on the French site?
Hi team,
I just installed Google Tags for WPDM to track download events, but I’m unable to get it working and would appreciate some guidance.
**Use Case:**
We have real estate property pages with downloadable documents and I want to track when visitors download these documents and ultimately see which properties get the most engagement.**What I’ve Attempted:**
1. Installed and activated the addon through WordPress
2. Configured GTM with:
– Custom Event trigger named “WPDM.newDownload”
– GA4 Event tag set to fire on the above trigger
3. Used GTM Preview Mode to test
4. Downloaded files from property pages**Current Issue:**
When I test downloads using GTM Preview Mode, the WPDM.newDownload event is not being pushed to the dataLayer. No custom events from WPDM appear at all!**What I Need:**
1. Step-by-step implementation instructions for the addon
2. Are there settings I need to configure in WordPress after activation?
3. Is there documentation available that I might have missed?
4. How can I confirm the addon is properly integrated and sending events?
5. Are there any known compatibility issues or requirements?I’m happy to provide additional information about my setup if needed. Any help getting this working would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
AndreHi WPDM Support,
We are experiencing two issues relating to download limits and membership subscriptions.
1. Download limits not being counted correctly
We have set a download limit of 50 per 365 days for the user role “Annual membership Subscription” under WPDM → Settings → General → Download Limit.
However, although downloads are clearly being recorded in Download History for the user, the user’s download limit counter remains at 50 / 0 and does not increment.
Key details:
Limit is applied by user role (Annual membership Subscription)
Reset period is set to 365 days for that role
Files are hosted externally via Dropbox URLs
“Allow repeated download of already downloaded file” is currently enabled
“Count unique downloads only” is currently disabled
Despite multiple downloads being logged, the usage counter does not increase.
Can you confirm:
Whether download limits are reliably enforced when using external file URLs (Dropbox)?
Whether the combination of settings above would prevent the counter from incrementing?
If there are known issues with role-based limits not updating correctly?
This is business critical as we rely on accurate yearly download tracking.
2. Subscription renewal issue
We also had a case where a member’s annual payment was successfully taken, but:
Their membership did not renew automatically
We had to manually reinstate their membership
We cannot see a corresponding renewal order or payment record on the website
We are now concerned that future yearly renewals may not process correctly
Could you please advise:
Where renewal payments should appear within WPDM?
What could cause a successful payment to not trigger membership renewal?
Whether there are known issues with subscription renewals not syncing correctly?
We would appreciate guidance on how to audit and ensure renewal reliability going forward.
I am also seeing a ‘critical error on this website’ when i click on invoices on teh subscriber, I have tried to debug this but no errors are showing.
Kind regards,
AnnaAfter the last update (7.2.3) the single column flat template does not display the file details anymore (such as file size, number of downloads, etc.) Other templates seem to work, but we do not want to change all our downloads. Please advise.
I am now on 7.2.2 – i have noticied today when creating a new download that the download locks seem to be broken. Here are the issues i noticed, which i cannot fully solve unless i remove all locks
1. Normally I have some custom content for “must agree with terms”. This shows, but when accepted nothing happens, no download.
2. I have a number of passwords we issue, as we use the Password Lock on some downloads. The password field is not presenting itself like it used to do, so i have to turn this off for now (in fact all locks are turned off)
3. Sometimes I request a users email address to email them the download link. When this is activate the popup shows requesting email address, but i cannot enter or type into the field, it simply closes.I have a lot of downloads, so its hard to go through each on to turn off the locks. Also, i am not comfortable to do this.
The problem could be somewhere else, but do you see this on your systems? I am on WordPress 6.28 , maybe i need to update this?

Hi, I’m trying to create a page template that will allow us to show multiple videos. We have packages where we have more than one Vimeo or Wistia video that we are inserting via URL, but all of the page template tags I have tried are only displaying the last video in the package on the page. I’ve tried testing with YouTube too and that also doesn’t work. Is there a way for the [video_player_1200x600] tag to display multiple videos stacked on top of each other?
Additionally, we are running WPDM version 7.2.1 and I see instructions to set a default page template here: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/core-features-templates-page-templates/ but when I go to
Downloads > Settings > User Interface, I don’t see an option forDefault Page Templateas specified. Can you assist?I always hesitate to update Download Manager. Over the many years, I would say 50% of updates result in total breaking issues! I really dont understand the QC work being done before releases??
Now again all of the Formed locked downloads are now not functional. I need this looked at right away.

We are experiencing a recurring issue where the cloud storage API credentials are lost or invalidated.
At least once or twice per day, we must go to: Settings → Cloud Storage and reconnect the pCloud / Dropbox credentials.Steps to reproduce
1.Configure pCloud (or Dropbox) in Download Manager Pro → Settings → Cloud Storage
2.Save the settings and confirm that downloads work
3.After several hours, attempt to download a file stored in Dropbox
4.The download fails with a message indicating that the file does not exist
5.Go back to Settings → Cloud Storage
6.Re-save the settings and reconnect the cloud account
7.The same file downloads successfully immediately after reconnectionEnvironment
• Platform: WordPress
• Plugin: Download Manager Pro
• Extension: pCloud Connector (also affects Dropbox downloads)Actual behavior
• Credentials appear to expire or disconnect automatically
• Manual reconnection is required 1–2 times per day
• Downloads fail until credentials are reconnectedThis affects production usage and requires frequent manual intervention, which is not sustainable.
Any guidance or fix would be appreciated.
We can provide logs or debug information if needed.
