Hello, I noticed that updating the archive plugin changed several things, some errors for me.
1. When I use the archive plugin for a specific category, now it shows me “all downloads” at the beginning, before it showed me the downloads of the category that I had selected.
2. It is showing me the documents that are not finished “the draft”.
I had to back to old version of the pluguin for that issue.
Thanks in advance for your help
I have several images that I want to add to my downloads individually. Some will have descriptions that I will want to show and it also needs to look good on mobile device. I tried the image gallery code but it gets cut off on mobile. Below is the code I used. Basically I want a preview of the image file and a download button, just like if it was a pdf file. I’ve tried all the preview and thumbnail codes and none show an image.
<table width=”100%” border=”0″>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width=”75%”><span class=”wpdm-page-template single-col-flat”><h3>[title]</h3><br>[description] </span></td>
<td width=”25%”><span class=”wpdm-page-template single-col-flat” style=”text-align: right”>[image_gallery_400x400x1] </span></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

What can I do to show me the subcategories in the archive view when i select a parent category.
Here is a demo example, Showing a Subcategory which has a download, but if I go one level up I still want to show all child downloads of the child categories: https://bit.ly/33UGYn8
With WordPress Terms this works out of the box right?

I did do it indeed, one step ahead ! 🙂 Thanks for all your help with this Shahjada .. somehow in all of this the breadcrumbs (am using plugins for permalinks and yoast) have lost their download part ie they say home > scripts > script category > script name.. and am missing the home > downloads > scripts > script category > script name.. I mentioned this in another post. Was almost there with a full solution..
Breadcrumb Yoast not showing base download link.
Default category pages are mostly controlled from the theme, and most themes show category title by default. But, as generatepress is not showing category title for default category page when using custom template, you can add the following code at the end of your theme’s functions.php to show the title:
add_action("wpdm_before_category_page_content", function ($cat){
?><h2><?php echo $cat->name; ?></h2><?php
});
Alternatively, you can use category shortcode or GB block on WordPress statics pages, please check:

Hey all,
As has been stated by a few others the latest version of the plugin Version 5.1.20 has been auto deactivated by my WordPress site.
While we wait for a solution would it be possible for one of the kind souls at WDM to dropbox the prior version (5.1.18) so I can resume site downloads? It looks like that is a fix others have implemented to get things back in order.
Going forward I will mos-def make notes to do more backups BEFORE updates. haha
Thank you!
Hi,
If you have uploaded multiple files in a package, then in the main download button all single files become in the zipped file. and for the appearance you may adjust it from Downloads > Settings > User Interface. please check
Thanks.
You can find this option from Downloads > Categories and also you shall find this option from edit category option. please check
Thanks.

I understand that is what is supposed to happen, but that is not the case with my install. Please login and test this.
I have that example package with access for a subscriber not administrator, but as administrator, I can add to filecart, then download from filecart.
These are free downloads so there is no payment needed, I just want it so you can only download it if you are logged in with a subscriber account. I am talking about the WPDM – File Cart plugin: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-file-cart/
It seems my downloads can now be added to filecart and downloaded even without logging in, allow access is set to “subscriber” users only. Please help me to fix this.
Hi
We are using the very latest version of WP, WP Downloads Pro and Default Values
Default values work in admin area when adding a new package
BUT not in the frontend? Any ideas why? All fields empty in public website when we try adding there?
Thanks

Yes, you can customize the Email Template from Downloads > Templates > Email Templates, the template called Email Lock Notification, and you can add the template variable called, [#package_name#]. I hope this may help you.
Thanks.
On the shortcode you can remove thumb=1 or thumb=0 to show icons
You can select Icon from wp-admin “Package settings” section for each file on “Downloads” menu.
Complete list of available options now you can see from https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_all_packages-list-all-downloads-in-tabular-format-in-a-page/
Thank you
I’ve developed a small add-on just to fix your issue. But, now I just checked, downloads seem to be working fine as they were.
Hi,
You shall find the invoice fromDownloads > Orders and as I image attached


Thanks.
Hi, I am new to WPDM and I am trying to create a fixed list of files to download.
I have a category created, and the files loaded but there are only 7 files in this category and the order needs to be a specific order. I was hoping to be able to drag files in the “All Packages” area to the order I needed them to appear on my page. But nope. How can I rearrange my files so they are in the correct order on my page?
Hi,
Really sorry for the inconvenience. However, it was just basic settings setup from Downloads > Settings > User Interface > Changing Bootstrap 3 to 4 change. Now everything is Ok. Additionally, I have to tell you that, I was set the premium package settings in the basic form. please set it now as your requirements. and let me know if need any help
Thanks.
Hi,
You can disable them from Downloads > Settings > User Interface. You shall find there scripts and styles also the option for enabling/disabling options.
thanks.
Testing extensively to try to track this down; disabled all plugins & reverted to 2020 theme, still didn’t work on Pantheon hosting. Changing my permalink structure to ‘Plain’ (just ?p=123) was the only thing that fixed this.
That’s not going to be a workable solution for the site I’m working on as it needs pretty permalinks. Any idea on what would make Downloads work with pretty permalinks?
Hi,
You can set up a PayPal smart button for Premium Packages, it accepts PayPal and/or all major credit and debit cards – Visa®, MasterCard®, American Express®, Discover®, Diner’s Club, and JCB. Also, you can use other special payment gateways too, like https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/worldpay/, you will see here it accepts credit card payments without worrying the Customers Credit Cards Details. otherwise, you can also check other available payment gateways too here, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/downloads/ecommerce-add-ons/
Thanks.
Hi Nayeem, I don’t think I’m explaining this very well.
We have a staging site that we use to test and update plugins and add content throughout the week. One Fridays, we push those changes live to production.
So, right now our production instance is gaining downloads and the download counts are being implemented. That document in staging might only have 25 downloads. In production, by next Friday the document has generated 150 downloads.
Next Friday, we’re going to push the staging site to production and the number of 25 is going to overwrite the number of 150.
At least, I’m assuming that’s going to happen. We just installed DM and are trying to head off this scenario.
What I would like to do is not push the table from staging that contains the download counts to production, but I need your help understanding which table might contain those counts.
Does that make sense?
