Thanks for the reply and the change you made does indeed help, but…
…perhaps I am using the wrong shortcode? What would I need to use to display all of the downloads in a package on a page, without first having to click the title?
Something like this http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/package-list-in-responsive-table/
Thanks again.
Hi, it is hard to replikate the solution if you do not tell me what it is… But after some try and error and comparing our code I think I found the answer myself, and it was very simple:
If I choose “All Downloads Table” from the meny I get this short shortcode below. There is also a “blank” column added automaticly in the right sidebar. (But the table does not show any files from start.):
<!– wp:download-manager/datatable /–>
I tried to add some columns and change a few options, but still no files were visible. My code now looked like this:
<!– wp:download-manager/datatable {“include_children”:true,”cols”:”title|categories|download_link”,”colheads”:”Title|Categories|Download”,”template”:”link-template-default.php”} /–>
I found the reason: After adding new columns I have to delete that first blank auto-added column, to make the table work. Only after deleting that initial empty column will files be visible.
So, problem solved I guess. And easy, when you know the answer.
Hi sorry for late reply, I have been away. I have now changed to a basic theme and in-activated every plugin but WPDM. But it is still not working, so it can not be a conflict.
Please, I need your help with looking at my WPDM settings. Maybe I have missed to check or change something for this to work?
Or something is actually wrong with the code for “All downloads table”?
Hello Barry,
Hope you are well. We have updated shortcode structure recently. The shortcode format will be like this,
[wpdm_all_packages login=1 thumb=1 items_per_page="20" categories="slug1,slug2,..." jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="ASC/DESC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Update Date|Download::155px"]
please check the doc too,
[wpdm_all_packages] – List all downloads in tabular format in a page
Thank you and regards
Hello Mark,
Hope you are well. You shall get the option from Downloads > Templates > Import Template
as I Image attached

please check
Thank you and regards
Do you know if maybe “WPDM Directory Add-on” is needed for the “All Downloads Table” (Gutenberg Blocks) to work? The table is there and I can choose categories, but no file is visible in the table list.
No, I wanted to try the new “All Downloads Table” that is part of your Gutenberg Blocks. Maybe that is the type of table I am looking for. https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/gutenberg-blocks/
I have been using wpdm_all_packages for many years, and that is working just fine. But I want a more modern type, with sorting, searching, filtering and so on. Like the one in Gutenberg blocks seems to be. (But it is not working yet.)
Hello Lollen,
Hope you are well. And sorry for the inconvenience. Are you using this shortcode in your editor
[wpdm_all_packages] – List all downloads in tabular format in a page
if possible, Can you please give your temporary wp-admin login details in a private reply for checking the issue?
Thank you and regards
Hi,
wpdm-all-downloads.php
is now all-packages-shortcode.php
located under the download-manager/src/package
directory in the latest version and I think you should be able to customize it.
You have updated from the very old version right? as code structure has been changed in the latest version.
Thanks.
Hi,
Only link or page template files should be customizable not the wpdm-all-downloads.php
file.
As it’s described in the docs /{active-theme}/download-manager/link-templates
.
Thanks.
Hi,
yes, it is the right folders structure, and before the update, it was my custom template that was taken into account. But since the update, it is not the case anymore.
Here is the structure of my folders in my worpdress theme:
download-manager/
> link-templates/
> files....php
> page-templates/
> files....php
page-template-default.php
wpdm-all-downloads.php
I checked, my wpdm-all-downloads.php file is my custom template, but it doesn’t seem to be taken into account as default template.
Thanks to you.

Hello,
After updating to the latest version simply visiting the link and page template menu on the admin dashboard will resolve the issue. As the action will regenerate the templates automatically in the new style.
Go to Downloads>templates
then visit all tabs there.
Hopefully, your problem will be solved.

Hi, I’m trying to move from Download Monitor to this plugin. However, the import download monitor plugin is not working as it suggests.
The first step after install reads, “Go to Downloads → Settings → Download Monitor Import Tab”, however, this tab does not exist.
Any help would be appreciated.
thank you

Hi Nayeem,
correct – we have been using this for many years but with the latest upgrade it stopped working. We have roles defined in the Allow Access option but the downloads don’t show up in the “my downloads” – only the directly assigned to users – but not the ones through the roles (Allow Access option).
Does that make sense?
Regards,
Alessandro
Hello Alesandro,
Hope you are well. For this shortcode [wpdm_my_downloads login=1]
with Advanced Access Control add-on, when you assign a particular package to a user. That user will access that package which has been already shared with him/her. And for role-based restriction, you may check the Allow Access
option from package settings. please let me know if you have more query
Thank you and regards

Hello,
A little while ago I purchased the Advance Access Control add on. Recently there was an update. When I go into WordPress to try and update the paid addon I go to Downloads > Settings > Updates > Purchased Add-Ons > Advance Access Control (Click Update) – It says the addon updated properly. For whatever reason, there is also a Save Settings button.
I go in to check one of my packages, and I do not see ‘Select Members’ field which is provided by Advance Access Control add-on. I go back to Downloads > Settings > Updates > Purchased Add-Ons > Advance Access Control and the Purchased Add On is no longer installed on my website…. why? I click Install then I get a green ‘Success!’ message. I exit the page and come back to the addon, and it ‘Success’ is no longer there, it says Install… How do I get this paid add on to install and remain on my website? It was working before I click update the first time. I’m now stuck in an endless Loop clicking Install > Update > Save Settings > Install > Update > Save Settings > Install > Update > Save Settings … and nothing work.s
The Add-On UI is not intuitive whatsoever with the Update/Install/Save Settings button… None of them work clearly.
After installing the Constant Contact add-on nothing changes in the settings? is there some other plugin dependency ?
Also where do I find the newsletter add-on , it’s not in the list of available downloads on my Pro “Full access pack” ?
Hi There,
I use Oxygen Builder and have been building a site that has protected downloads that are accessible depending on the user’s role.
I want the site to be as dynamic as possible without having to create new pages and place shortcodes manually whenever a new category is created.
To do this, I need to create a category template. I thought maybe I could place a shortcode in the template like this:
<?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[wpdm_category id="get_id_dynamically"]‘ ); ?>
Is there a way to get the id dynamically while using a shortcode? I need it to get the current category page id.
