Hi
The download template doesn’t appears on my post page.
I have this problem just now, with my last song.
If you go: https://tunes.audio/audio-archive/, you can reach all songs with button, but not the last one.
Other problem is, that if I on the downloads page to “Embed” click, the page will be darker and nothing happen. I can’t find the ID for the package.
I can send you a temp. Admin login pr PM, if you tell me how it works.
Cheers
Geza

Hi,
I´m using https://deployer.org/ to deploy my site to different stages (local/staging/production). I also use https://roots.io/bedrock/ file structure.
Local dev – Everything works great. It works with bedrock file structure, file browser root is “<something>/web/app/uploads/”.
Staging/Production – Attached files not working. File browser root default is “<something>/deploy/releases/2/web/app/uploads” where “uploads” is actually a symlink to “<something>/deploy/shared/web/app/uploads/”. This works for uploads in standard media library. I can upload files in media library first and then go to downloads/package and then “select from media library”. Then the files will be attached, “__wpdm_files” in db will have correct urls, and user can download the attached files. BUT, if I choose the “drop zone” or green “select files” button, the attached files will add up in the attached files meta box, BUT as soon as I press “update”, all attached files (but not the latest uploaded) will disappear from the meta box and will not be saved to db (“__wpdm_files” is almost empty, only one id).
Any ideas what could be wrong here?
Thanks,

Hi,
You can manually delete already detached files from asset manager ( Admin Menu ► Downloads ► Asset Manager ). In future, if you want to delete unlinked files automatically, please use the following option:

I need to know how to set up a custom page template for all my downloads with some custom fields that I created
This reply has been marked as private.
Hello,
Thanks for contacting us.
To show templates like these, you have to set link templates for these. You will find that there are already some link templates created by default. You can check from Downloads > Templates > Link Templates
. Then you can show all downloads using shortcodes with template
parameter of wpdm
Please check details here:
Link Template
template tags are supported by link and page templates. You can show any contents dynamically on link templates by adding template tags from below:

Hi Nayeem,
thanks for the quick reply.
Our user-dashboard mainly contains a table list of all available download packages, as you can see in the screenshot I’ve sent in my previous message.
We used the [wpdm_user_dashboard]-shortcode to display the table.
Now we wish to add a column which displays the upload date and contains a sorting function (sort downloads by date).
I hope I could clear up any misunderstandings.
Thanks for the support

Hello Marco,
I have just checked the csv file that you provided.
Actually the row and columns are not in the same format that wpdm bulk import supports.
Please follow the doc here There is a sample csv (download here)
You can follow that csv to create the csv file with your downloads that needs to be uploaded.

Tanvir
Hello frank braun,
Yes, please check the doc here,
[wpdm_category] – Query All Downloads From One or More Categories
you shall find the parameter colspad
and colsphone
for responsive design. I hope it will help you. please check and let me know
Thank you and regards
Hello @Hassnain,
You can use the below shortcode to order by date
[wpdm_all_packages] – List all downloads in tabular format in a page
Here you can use the parameter order_by
and order
to show in order. Also you will be able to show top downloads by using parameter download_count
Let us know for further assistance.

Hello,
Thanks for the details.
Generally there are some reasons behind the issue.
Please make sure you are using minimum version of PHP 7.4 or higher in your server and the latest version of wpdm pro that is 6.2.8
.
After that make sure you have added the license code from Downloads > Settings > License
.
You can then also try creating a new test package.
However, if the issue still persists after following so, please also provide temporary admin access in a private reply to check and fix the issues quickly.

Tanvir
Hello,
Thanks for clarifying the feature you want.
currently the feature is not available with wpdm to show all downloads.
In this case, you can request a feature here. Maybe we could add it in our future updates.

Hi there,
My client has an issue whereby non-logged in users see a critical error message just above the downloads list and, in addition, not all downloads are listed (the list gets to S but no further).
If I reverse the display order, the list from Z – S can be viewed but the items beginning with A upwards cannot be viewed. The full list is 99 items and non-logged in users can only see 64.
These 2 errors don’t occur when a user is logged in.
You can view the errors at https://www.socialcaretrainingsolutions.com/resources/
Any thoughts or ideas most welcomed.
Kind regards
James
Hello Tanvir,
It seems you are telling about related downloads section. As you said feature only for widgets, The widget is working on select no of downloads packages to show, below the New Packages, if selected 5 or 10 Packages (how to get more files on the website that are uploaded before), to show in the widget area, I want to add a button of “view more”, below the New Packages, when button is clicked it’s redirects to the URL, where All New Packages are by ID’s.
Same as in Best Downloads, it’s redirects to the URL, where All Best Downloads Packages are available, according to their downloads.
Required: (New and Best Downloads URL Required)
URL Example:
https://example.com/category/new-downloads
https://example.com/new-downloads
https://example.com/best-downloads
Hope this will clear the requirement
Thank You
Thanks for replying. My Settings window does not look like the screenshot in the link you provided with instructions. I am going to Downloads -> Settings. I would upload the screenshot here if I could. Is there a way I can send you a screenshot of what I see? I do not see a button or a tab named: Constant Contact. The plugin is installed.
Hello,
I just purchased the Constant Contact Add-On for Download Manager. I do, of course ALSO have Download Manager. After activation I go to a package (all my downloads already have E-Mail Lock Option ON), but I do not see any place or Constant Contact tab to enable sending the e-mail to my Constant Contact account.
Yes, as I wrote, there are free downloads. (for registered users) and premium downloads for author. People who are not registered are not allowed to download anything.
Hey Tanvir,
we struggle too. Files like videos can’t be downloaded by using download button. Instead a new page will be opened. This page contains a video-player, download BTN again does not work.
Is this thread in relation to this “issue”?
It is true that, download-buttons does not work when file is uploaded by using WP-Media-Gallery?
If true: Is there anything we can do/order to solve this?
In Downloads -> Add new there is an option “Insert URL”. Could this be a suitable workaround for overtaking files from WP mediagalery to download manager?

Hello Teeg,
Thanks for providing access.
Here are the replies for your issues:
1. Attach Dir – Doesn’t work for packages. Resulting download is a filenotfound txt file.
—-Working fine from your website if price is not set. Example here
2. Test Pay – For individual bundles – transaction processes and order is recorded but no download is available in account “Order Details”.
—– Found the issue. If directory is selected there is no download button. But if the download is in zip, then working fine. However, I have forwarded the issue to the developer team. It will be fixed soon.
3. Download from package pages – Free membership can download from the package details page. But paid memberships can only download from “My Downloads” area in their account. Also if a person purchases a package (not a membership), they still see a “Buy” button instead of a “Download” button on the public facing package page
—-It is a feature. free membership can download from package because there is no need to login for them. For members, they need to login to get their purchased products. After purchase all need to download from their dashboard area.
4. In the block editor, Pricing and Discounts/Package Free Downloads – Requires uploading to or selecting from the Media Library – Can’t select file from the server.
— Files can be selected from server without any issue please check here
5. In the block editor, Pricing and Discounts/Package Free Downloads – Require name and email to get the free file.
—I have checked the related page here. It is set in the way from your side that the visitor will need to login first otherwise need to register. Generally almost every membership site works in this way that you need to login first, if no account then visitor needs to register. you can set access it to all visitors and lock downlod with email lock. So that visitor doesn’t need to create account to your site also you will get email of them.
6. Enabling Single File Download – Doesn’t seem to do anything.
—Single download is working fine. You can check the screenshot below to know how it works. In a download packages these are the single file download buttons.

7. Custom templates Bug: Some of the insert variables put in the wrong code – for example download button adds download URL and download URL inserts download button shortcode
—Custom template is working properly. you can check all of our template tags here. All work properly.
Let us know for further assistance.

The several hundred downloads in our wpdm-pro downloads list have some inconsistent page templates selected. I want to apply a mass-change that will force change the selected download page template to the ‘default template’ for all the downloads.
I have access to phpmyadmin / mysql so I can run an SQL command to do this if you let me know where the selected download page is stored in the database.
