Hi Downloads Manager,
We are checking in again to see if any progress has been made allow us to import tags
Respectfully,

Hello,
I am trying to add a tabular list of all the packages along with a search of categories and tags in the left sidebar. I am using Elementor and you can see a demo of our page here: https://clearweld.com/dev/test-downloads/
I can use the shortcode wpdm_all_packages for the table but I am unable to use the wpdm_archive_filter to generate the search for category/tags. Is it possible to have the list as I currently have it but also have a sidebar with the category and tag filter as seen here: https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/advanced-search-left/?
Thanks in advance for your help!

HI
Thanks for your response. I have updated WPDM to 6.2.1 and then took a look at the console and found that a number of js an css files were missing – 404 not found. I have copied these from a backup / development system that we use and the button is now working – I can add my category shortcode. However, it now doesn’t use my template but produces a complete jumble of download panels of various designs. The development site was not (could not be) updated to the new version so this may in itself have created more errors,
I have also discovered there are other unrelated files reported missing when I load any page so I think I need to sort those out first. However, is it possible for me to completely remove WPDM (having backed up my templates) and re-install it without loosing the files that are in the downloads folder? We have moved/changed our site domain a number of times in the past and our hosting guru transfers the site accordingly but it is evident that some files have not being transferred correctly.
I will continue investigating these issues for the time being but may get back to you with admin access later this week.
Again thanks for your response.
Neil
Hello Nelson,
Thanks for your reply.
Instead of auto-generating a category page, please use the below shortcode in a page. Using the orderby=”title” parameter, you can sort the order.

If the issue still persists, please provide temporary admin access of your website in a private reply to inspect and solve it quickly.
Thanks
Use link template – ideally we want to be able to add the short code (as suggested by Tanvir’s example) and make design changes?!
Is there another way of ‘filtering the order’ perhaps?
For example the package titles are ‘sequential’ up to a point but adding these downloads by CSV puts them in reverse order?!

Ah, I misunderstood your initial response. It is now working as desired. In case it can be of help to someone else, these are the steps I took:
1. Cloned the Link Template Metro (Downloads > Templates > Link Templates Tab)
2. Named the new Link Template “File List”
3. Assigned the Unique Identifier “file_list”
4. Removed all text in the HTML Field and replaced it with [file_list]
5. Added the shortcode [wpdm_package id="973" template="file_list"] to my page.
Thank you for your help with this!

I have already searched in the forum, but cannot find the answer to my question:
I really like page-template-image-gallery.
How do I use this template? I cannot find any setting for it when setting up a page with downloads.
Love to hear from you.
Hello Marta,
Hope you are well.
Adding media files are better for images or videos. That is the default wordpress uploader. It is always better to use the upload system of wpdm. In that case, wpdm can affect some features of the uploaded file. That fixes many issues.
Yes with that shortcode you can add any category you want. For that you have to use the parameter categories in that category slug.
Example:
[wpdm_all_packages 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"]
And yes search field, search only in the current category you are showing.
More details with all parameters, example and demo:

I’ve got some packages with multiple files in them. When using the [wpdm_all_packages] shortcode, is there a way of showing the downloads separately rather than as a zip to download all of them?
(tried to post this yesterday by the way, apologies if duplicate)
Hello Jorge rojas,
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
Hello good afternoon.
How do I standardize all the templates like:
2 Columns, Image Left
I standardized on a page, but I need it to be taken as a general template, instead of the default template, I’m using Elementor Pro and I need to standardize the layout, is there any shortcode I can use?
I tried to enable this model as default but without success and it is impossible to change it for all downloads.
Waiting for some help.
Hi,
i add this code in the functions.php file:
add_filter(‘wpdm_user_dashboard_menu’,’my_custom_dashboard_menus’,10,1);
// $menu_items is an array containing current menu items
function my_custom_dashboard_menus($menu_items){
// Removing edit profile menu
unset($menu_items[‘edit-profile’]);
}
however all the user area disappeared. I only want that people cannot have access to the “Edit Profile” to change their name or password but still see their downloads. Is it possible? Thanks
Hi Downloads Manager,
I fixed this by adding CSV to the allowed file types to upload setting. As a recommendation, this should be allowed by default.

Hi,
I have just bought Download Manager Pro + the S3 plugin. I have 1000’s of PDF’s in a series of S3 buckets which are in one larger bucket. All I want to be able to do is make all the PDF’s searchable, viewable and downloadable to anyone on the site.
Nothing else. I don’t want to sell or collect emails or anything, just to allow people to search for and find Pdf’s and then download them securely from S3.
Thank you
Hello Marc,
Thanks for elaborating. Now, I think on this page, https://se-audiotechnik.de/index.php/service/downloads/?lang=en, you have used link templates for packages. Do you want packages like B 15 Data Sheet EN, when anyone clicks download will start automatically? please elaborate on this.
And for the white line issue, can you please share the related package URL too for checking the PDF? please let me know
Thank you and regards

Hello neds steven,
Please use this free add-on and its one of the blocks called All Downloads Table
Gutenberg Blocks
Thus, I hope you will get your required feature
Thank you and regards
Hello,
A page illustrating the question is this one, which contains tables generated by Download Manager Pro, linking to download packages:
(https://www.anybodytech.com/resources/customer-downloads/)
All download packages require a user to be logged in.
The red “Login” button has the desired behavior, in that pressing it links to our login page, but with a redirect back to our download overview page after login (Example: https://www.anybodytech.com/my-account/?redirect_to=/resources/customer-downloads/)
The question is, if something like this is also possible for the links in the table (labeled “AnyBody Modeling System (64-bit version)”) directly to the download packages. Pressing one of these when not logged in just links to our login page like this:
(https://www.anybodytech.com/my-account/)
But we would have liked that it instead also put in a redirect argument in the URL like this:
(https://www.anybodytech.com/my-account/?redirect_to=/download/anybodysetup-7-4-1-8830_x64/)
But I have not found any settings where I can specify this, so I’m asking if it is possible?
I would expect that this should be somehow defined for the download packages and not the table itself, as the link directly to a download package could also appear elsewhere, and should also trigger a login-and-redirect-back if necessary.
I have the WPDM directory add on installed. I have made archive page with search field and catagory select.
Now my customer is asking if the catagory name can be displayed in the list with all downloads. Not only in breadcrumbs.
Also does the customer prefer accordion display. Can i use accordion add on together with directory add on.
Page has to look something like this.
[search] [choos catagory]
Catagory name 1 v
– catagory 1 download 1
– catagory 1 download 2
– catagory 1 download 3
Catagory name 2 >
