When I insert an external URL using Attach File -> Insert URL the pasted link gets changed (Double Encoding?) and does not work.
All pre-existing lExternal Links still work.
The problem seemed to start around version 3.2.50 or just after.
Details:
I paste in the URL part of which is:
dir=%2FTest%20MDownload%2F2022&files=Test%202022%2005%20File.pdf
but when click on the resulting Download Button I get an error (document not found). I copied the Download Button link, and found that the same part of the URL has changed to:
dir=%252FTest%2520Download%252F2022&files=Test%25202022%252005%2520File.pdf
I looked it up on the web and several sites stated that the added 25 after the % is due to the URL being double encoded.
I created a new wordpress page with just a button with the same URL and it works correctly – it just does not work with Download Manager.
Version 3.2.53 stated Changelog stated that a problem with inserting an external link was fixed – so I just updated to it and got the same error.

In the “My Account” area, it shows how many downloads that user has downloaded, but I want to show how many they have left instead. How do I do that?
I have Pro Membership and Download Limit add ons installed
Thanks!
1. Yes! that was what I was trying to do, thank you so much! I wish I could change the font now.
2. One question, for the menu, I want to show a cart icon just like the one on your menu. An icon that lights up when there is something in the cart, what block can I use for that?
3. Also, we won’t have multiple vendors, how can I disable the author’s name so it doesn’t show under the assets for sale?
4. Is there a way for my reavic.com/members page to automatically redirect a person that’s already logged in to their dashboard when they click on that menu option?
5. Is there a “category” block that only shows the thumbnail associated with said category? For example, instead of the three thumbnails on the home page below the hero header, I want to show two thumbnails that would say “Memes” and “Videos”
7. How can I make my reavic.com/catalog page look more like this one https://graphicriver.net/presentation-templates
6. How can I shrink product image and bring description to the side of that image: https://www.reavic.com/my-downloads/then-now/
Thank you!
Hello, I recently purchased the lazy download add-on. Is there any kind of instruction on how to install it? It’s not shown up in the WordPress Download Manager Add-ons section as purchased. Can someone help me with that? I don’t want to do something wrong with my website and ruin existing downloads.
Hello Johannes Kröger,
Hope you are well. For controlling access for downloads for each user, you can check your packages, the Package Settings > Allow Access option, and this Hide Everything option from Basic Settings as I image attached,

please check and let me know
Thank you and regards
Hello simon khan,
Hope you are well. For adding package size, you may explore the doc here for Valid Data Field Names
https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_all_packages-list-all-downloads-in-tabular-format-in-a-page/
and for adjusting the table column & row, please share the related URL.
And for categories filtering, can you please check this add-on and its demos,
WPDM Directory Add-on
please check and let me know
Thank you and regards
Howdy.
We are using wpdm pro plus advanced access control. We are using this shortcode to sho a list of all existing downloads.
[wpdm_all_packages login=1 thumb=1 items_per_page="20" categories=treiber,updates" 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"]
Now we want to hide all the not accessable downloads for each user, so there would only the accessable downloads show up in the list.
Is that possible?
THX and all the best
Hello Andrew,
Hope you are well.
Yes you can do it by using shortcode.
I have made an example for you.

Hi Download Manager,
The CSV importer does not function correctly for small files. Nothing get loading into all packages. Ghost file are added into media library. See video: https://wordpress-763289-2585228.cloudwaysapps.com/wp-content/uploads/Downloads-%E2%80%B9-Giti-US-Resource-Portal-%E2%80%94-WordPress.webm
Since updating the plugin yesterday (07/28/2022) when I upload a new PDF file to download won’t download and instead, I am met with “No file is attached with this package!”. However, all of the older uploaded PDF files still work fine. It’s just new PDF files since the update doesn’t work. The direct download link will not work either.
I was looking at your addons and I have a question.
First, my client’s Order ID# WPDM62CA1AA2547FD, I just don’t have access to his account to open tickets there.
If I purchase special package under my account for single installation right now, would that addon be included? As I said before I need to replicated Envato’s websites BUT for videos only… Client wants to have option for limited number of downloads under a membership and regular single download. Would I be able to have the addon to limit number of downloads per month? Also, do you have more extensive instructions. the docs I found are very basic, they are meant for someone that already know your plugin and I don’t know it that well, I only know the basic download manager.
Also, if I get single installation special package today, can I upgrade later at anytime?
Thanks
For the attention of Tanvir – Please.
RE: Ordering of the Packages – I’ve managed to sort something for you to consider, please see the following link:
https://nfpsoccer.co.uk/downloads/2d-under-16s/
You’ll see the ‘filter’ options > select ’Title’ and ‘Ascending’ > Apply Filter.
To achieve this I’ve had to rename all the files with a number and letter prefix – Is there a better way to do it perhaps?
With this option I need to add an intro:
“To view by ‘session sequence’; please select ’Title’ and ‘Ascending’ then Apply Filter.”
– to the top of the page to explain the process – how do I add text to the page template please.
NB.If this could just be ‘coded’ to display the ‘packages in order (without having to filter that would be even better)?!
Many thanks
Andrew B

I created a test package from frontend to demouser and found it is working properly.
What I think that you was not able to create because you didn’t allow administrator to create a new package from front end.
You can set that from Downloads > Settings > Front End access > Ruoli utente consentiti per creare il pacchetto dal front-end Admin was not added there. I added that.
However, I would suggest you to check all settings carefully and try to understand how it works.
Thanks
Hey Nayeem, thanks for answering.
I am using WPDM Pro, and i already use the Lock-Options for some downloads…
What i’m trying to do is to copy the download-link and put it behind a image on my website. If someone clicks on the image, he / she should see the lead-form with terms & mail-lock. After filling out the form, he / she should get the download-link via mail oder should referred directly to the file (based on the setting for mail-lock).
If i only put the download-link behind the image, after clicking the image the following message occures: “You are not allowed to download”
If i use the Master Download Link, theres no lock, it directly leads to the file.
Is there a solution for this problem?
THX

Hello Everyone,
Hope you are well. And sorry for the inconvenience. For updating the WPDM main plugin, Please simply click the Save Settings again for the license key option from Downloads > Settings > License, and then please update the plugin from the wp-admin > plugins panel. For saving settings again for the license key option from Downloads > Settings > License, that will regenerate the access token. Thus the plugin will be updated, hope that, it will solve your issue.
And for add-on updates, you can follow these steps,
1 ) Download the latest version from here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/?udb_page=purchases
2 ) Install the latest version and activate.
I hope it will work fine then. please let me know if you face such an issue
Thank you and regards

Is there a way to pull up all resources tagged by a specific access level? You can do this by categories and tags, but I’m not seeing a way to pull up all packages that are set to be viewed by “All Visitors” etc. We have packages that need access levels changed, but I see no easy way to find a list of all of the packages tagged with that access to know which ones we need to change.

Please set the value of order_by “publish_date” or “update_date”
And in the ‘cols’ you have to use the exact same value.
Exmple :
[wpdm_all_packages thumb=1 items_per_page="20" jstable=1 order_by="publish_date" order="DESC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|publish_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Date|Download::155px"]
for more details please visit
https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_all_packages-list-all-downloads-in-tabular-format-in-a-page/
I am using following shortcode to display all downloads in table form and order them by Date wise so latest documents shown at top and older below it.
[wpdm_all_packages jstable=1 order_by="date" order="ASC" cols="title,excerpt,file_count,download_count|package_size|update_date|download_link" colheads="Title|File Size| Date|Download::155px"]
But on the front end my Table view is auto order by Title column only. I have not set to order by Title field but still it is doing so. How to change that behaviour and arrange it date wise.
Hello,
Hope you are well.
1. Please follow this there is the video that shows the way to add logo.
2. Category access works like the below example:
Package Access = Package Access + All Category Access = All Visitors + Subscribers = All Visitors
and Package Access = Package Access empty + Category Access(Subscribers) = Subscribers
or Package Access = Package Access(subscriber) + Category Access(Subscribers) = Subscribers
3. You can check our shortcodes to make an archive page with downloads.
Also you can check our anoher addon for more shortcodes:
WPDM Directory Add-on
