Thanks for your input Xavier, it is difficult to get across what I was talking about, I did provide a link for explanation. Your links are really good also. Thanks also for the suggestion, the problem I have is that my downloads are digital zip files to be used with a software application, so I didn’t know if “software application” would work, or if there was something more in line with the way download manager was coded that would offer a better schema. Unfortunately Nayeem seemed to think I was asking generally about SEO, which isn’t the case, although schema will play a more important role with SEO going forward.
Nayeem, a theme may offer a basic schema layout, thanks, but it was something more specific to download manager I was wanting the information for. WPDM has it’s own fields which could potentially be used in a schema set up, things like author/download count/images etc. There is a schema for dataset for example, which may be ideal for WPDM, or others like book, video etc as Xavier mentioned if that’s what people are offering as downloads.
Going forward, WPDM would offer a big advantage to your customers if schema options were integrated or customisable as part of WPDM. The internet is in need of organising data for search, and with WPDM offering people a way to add large lists of download items, seems pretty essential to look at this for the future.
It would not only help me, but all your customers to read up on what it is, and how it helps. Xavier has a point about reading up on things before answering, I know it’s a lot to keep on top of support requests, but giving information that isn’t relevant back, is just going to delay a request, and frustrate the customer.
Hi @kd7sys,
Hope you are well.
You are updating the WPDM Pro after a long time. So, 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.
I hope it will work fine then. If it doesn’t work, please, provide us with your temporary wp-admin login details and site URL in a private reply for checking the issue.
Also, please share the related page/file/package URL with us where the issue exists.
Thank You
Hello @ignitioncreative,
Hope you are well. can you please use publish_date instead of upload_date, please check the valid Data Field Names from here from this doc, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_all_packages-list-all-downloads-in-tabular-format-in-a-page/
[wpdm_all_packages login=1 thumb=1 items_per_page="20" jstable=1 order_by="date" order="ASC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|publish_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Publish Date|Download::155px"]
Thank you and regards

Hello,
I suggest you visit the links and then make PDF of those using the ctrl+p button while on the page on browser. Then you can upload the pdf files as downloads.
or another suggestion you can copy/paste links in .txt file and then make those as downloadable files.
Then you can show like a list using this shortcode
If you just want to make link, it doesn’t need wpdm. you can make a html button and link there.
Thanks
Hi Nayeem, 4 months later this issue has happened again. https://verbrec.com/investor-centre/asx-announcements/
Nothing has changed on the site, apart from required updates.
The code we are using to display is: [wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="8" categories="2018-asx-announcements, 2019-asx-announcements, 2020-asx-announcements, 2021-asx-announcements" jstable=1 order_by="date" order="DESC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|upload_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Upload Date|Download::155px"]
We need to order our downloads by UPLOAD DATE.
If you could please advise of the best course of action it would be appreciated.
Hi
I have purchased (Download pro 5) License Key 02773-37318-75320-97847, Order# WPDM5EC7E4269E6E9
WPDM Directory Add-on (Archive Manager) Pro License Order ID# WPDM5EC66DCF8809B
WPDM Accordion Pro License Order ID# WPDM5EC66DCF8809B
However, none of them register on my site. It says I do not have Pro
The Plugins page says I am running the most up to date version of them all, but when people try and download anything it says there is no Pro version
I keep trying to update Download manager in but Downloads / settings / update
But WPDM Directory Add-on ( wpdm-archive-page.zip ) just keeps saying “Please Wait” for hours
WPDM Accordion ( wpdm-accordion.zip ) says “expired”, and when I try and install it, it just says “Order does not belong to you!” on your website, and will not let me install the new purchase!
There is no-where to enter the Pro license key and put Pro in.
I had to get someone else to code the link templates, and the page templates and I am scared that if I uninstall and reinstall it, I will lose the templates, and I don’t know how to reinstall them.
Please can you help?

Hello @sandor-nemethgmail-com,
You can use the below shortcode then.
[wpdm_tag] – Query all downloads from specified tag(s)
However, please open a separate ticket in the future to track and give you a better solution to your problem ASAP.
Thank You.
Hi @wpdj30,
Hope you are well.
First of all, make sure that the template is located under Dashbaord>Downloads>Templates and you have selected the corresponding template in the Elementor block.
If, still the problem exists then visit Dashboard>Downloads>Templates>Link & Page template tabs.
Hopefully, your problem will be solved.
Thank You

Here is the Category shortcode. You will find other shortcodes here.
But as you are using TinyMCE add-on for now just change the item_per_page to items_per_page. Our developer team working on it, soon this little problem will ne solved.
Thanks
Hello @hamidpeya,

For at least the last week I’ve bene unable to attach any dropbox files to my downloads. I have the necessary paid plugin and it has always worked without issue. Now when I try to create a new download I can go through all the steps to attach the DB file but nothing every actually attaches.
I tried disabling all plugins but the ones for download manager to rule out a conflict but the files just won’t attach.
Hi @thehawkman,
You can select a specific category for all the similar topic files, then use this shortcode and add that category slug on the shortcode. You can add those names in the title. I think, it will look like what are you looking for.
Thank you
Let’s say I have a file with multiple versions. Take this one for instance. http://multicommander.com/downloads
It has a 64 bit installer, a 32 bit installer, then two portable versions of the installers. So that means 4 different files, with potentially different file sizes. Is it possible to set a different title for each download button linking to each file? As in have the button linking to the 32 bit portable version be called as such? Or do I need to create four individual packages for each of the version mentioned above? Since each file will have its own size, I would probably be forced to create separate entries, unless there is a way to list multiple file sizes on a single package?
I have checked all of my plugins. No conflict to be found.
I’m not sure what you checked when you were in my site – but it’s the template that isn’t working. I created a new template without the download_link_extended and I can get that one to work in preview as well as on my live site after clearing the cache. It must’ve happened with the new update to 6.0.6? I didn’t have this problem until then.
Here’s the problem – I do NOT want to switch my template for all 250 downloads. What can we do to fix this?
Allright, the “Use Global” setting works! Thanks!
One more thing: I noticed that the Progress bar is missing from the Waiting Page (https://clearskies.eu/csog/downloads/downloading/) is missing.
You can reproduce the issue by yourself by clicking any of the download buttons on the page I provided the link to. The same goes for any other download page and buttons. I will not make a screen recording of something you can do yourself by means of a single mouse click.
Here is the link to a package (the top one, nr. 33 on the page I linked to): https://clearskies.eu/csog-downloads/dsf-ootw-21-33download/
The lazy download plugin should lead to this waiting page: https://clearskies.eu/csog/downloads/downloading/
Instead, the download starts immediately. Has something perhaps changed in the required shortcode that is required on the waiting page?
As stated, all was well until I updated WPDM.
Hi,
A few days ago I updated WPDM to the latest version. That caused Lazy Download to disappear from the settings menu. I removed the Lazy Download plugin (deactivated and deleted from the server) and reinstalled the latest version. While it did appear again in the settings menu, the plugin is not doing anything. Downloads are not “lazy” but download immediately. For example, on this page of my website: https://clearskies.eu/csog/downloads/dsfootw/
The plugin is set to Enable Lazy Download and the individual downloads are set to either Enable or Global. Neither setting for the downloads make a difference, nor does toggling the settings from enabled to disabled and back.
What I suspect is the problem, is that the redirection to the set Waiting Page is just not happening.
Looking forward to your solution.
Hallo, thank you very much. I have now changed it as described and updated the plugin. Now it shows me the downloads 🙂
The font is now bigger and the button smaller than before. Is the a chance to change it?
Thank you for your great support!
Regards,
Martin
Hello @chesayscheryl,
I see email lock and download is working fine. Please check this screencast.
Also, please check now categories are fetching properly, as the shortcode was not correct. However, please keep the parameter value items_per_page="15". But, if you want to set more value on that parameter then you have to increase your server memory limit or the page might not save/ will crash.
Shortcode details can be found in the below link.
[wpdm_category] – Query All Downloads From One or More Categories
Thank You
