[wpdm_category] – Query All Downloads From One or More Categories
template TEXT No link-default-default Use link template ID here
I’m finding that some of my downloads are not accessible. When I click the link to download on a page, I instead download the text file that says “File Not Found.”
I have a multisite installation and this is on one of the sub-sites. I’ve deactivated and reactivated the plugin on the sub-site level as I’ve seen instructed in other threads.
Can you please help me correct this? I am using WPDM Pro.
Hi,
You can use the master download link from all downloads page. Each package has a button to generate the master download link.

By the way, You can create your grid using a custom link template. In that case, everything will be handled by WPDM automatically. You don’t have to copy and link the URLs. Custom templates are used to build a custom preview of the package/download.
Thanks.
Hi,
You can export all downloads using WordPress export options. Then import it to your new site.
Thank you.
Hi,
Thanks for the information, but I was looking for something that could look at the original files and extract the information from them. The files are installers and the installer software puts the information in them. We did use DM in our old site and we hand-entered version numbers, but that was a very large effort and we would like to not just “get by”.
Ideally, we would like all the other information as well that is already stored in the installer .exe file and can be seen through the file’s properties page.
I know there is a WMI API that allows programmers to get to this information and a command that allows you to get to the information. For example,
wmic datafile where Name="E:\\FILES\\ProductDownloads\\blah.exe" get Description,Path,Status,Version,Size,Manufacturer,CreationDate
gives you formatted output. I was wondering if anyone might have something that would give results more inline with what DM requires. I am looking to avoid doing lots of work 350 times (or more). (Creating a CSV file involves doing a lot of work 350 times or more).
Thanks

1 ) Created a new custom link template ( Audion Clone ). This template has both the play button and the download button as you asked. Installed the WPDM Image Button add-on to prettify the download link. You can change the button style from Image Button settings tab in WPDM settings page.
2 ) Cloned the Single Colum, Flat page template and added a link to your all download page. I have updated page template in this package https://kusumpu.com/download/suriyan-goundamani-comedy-ringtone/ Now you have to update all other packages to add the Back to all downloads button. You can modify the text by editing the custom page template.
I’ve just installed the WPDM Pro ecommerce package, and have set up my downloads.
1. in the shopping cart, is there a way to disable the “role discount” column?
2. After a successful checkout, I see an order number that I have to click to get to the order summary page with the download links. Is there a way to bypass this requirement to click the order number, and go directly to the order summary page with download links?
3. Is it possible to disable/remove the “add note” section at the bottom of the order summary/download page?
1 ) It is possible to add a download button. If you want both play and download button you have to clone the audio template and add [download_link] tag there. Then use this custom link template in archive page shortcode. Here is the Documentation.
2 ) You can add your all downloads page in your site menu to make it easily accessible from anywhere. Also, It is possible to add a link to the downloads page using a custom page template and custom template tag. I can help you with that. Send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply in that case.
Hi,
This is great, many thanks for your help!..
I have now installed a child theme and added the customised code to that, so should now be protected from updates..
The client is really happy with this now, just one last question..
Currently when the page first loads the initial default view is “All Downloads”, so it shows all the available packages.. Can this be changed so all packages are hidden and the page is blank, until the user selects a category?
Thanks again for your continued support!

Hi,
Customization is required because there is no existing shortcode to show the downloads of only last 30 days. We have to create a custom shortcode for that.
But your proposed approach works too. You can just sort packages by date and show the recent at the top. You can use the all packages shortcode.
Thanks.
Yes, it is possible using a custom template of /download-manager/wpdm-all-downloads.php file. Please check this doc https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/ It shows how to create a template file.
You have to perform 2 updates in the new template file,
1 ) Replace line 255 with $data['download_url'] = wpdm_download_url($data);
2 ) Find get_the_permalink(get_the_ID()) and replace with $data['download_url']
Stats are logged automatically. No extra setup is required for that. Did you check the Stats Download History tab? It should list all downloads. Please send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply if you can’t see any log there.
This requires a custom solution. No built-in option to check download history of a selected timeframe.

You are using the free version there which doesn’t have the bulk import feature. Please install the Pro version. You can download it here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/?udb_page=purchases
Deactivate and delete free version before installing Pro.
Are you trying to serve downloads from another server?
In all packages table, File icon is generated dynamically based on attached file type. But if you want to show the icon set in package setting you have to add the following code after line no 254 in /download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php file,
$ext = $data['icon'];
To make this change unaffected by plugin update, use a template file instead of customizing core plugin file.
1 ) Copy this file /download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php and place it in /your-active-theme/download-manager/ directory.
2 ) Now make changes in this new template file
I am using the following code:
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="10" categories="datasheets" jstable=1 order_by="title" order="ASC/DESC" cols="title,excerpt|download_link" colheads="Product Number|Download::150px"]
I do not get a “Display x downloads per page” link in the upper left nor does the pagination work. This worked prior to installing the 4.7.7 update.
Hi,
I think the Archive Page sidebar view is the right solution for you. It shows all categories in the left sidebar and shows packages on the right. When you click a category that has child categories, all those child categories will be shown on the right. And you can select one to filter downloads from it.
I think you should check the demo here https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-sidebar/ to get a clear understanding of how it works.
Let me know if you have any further query.
Thanks.
You were using the frontend uploader page ( [wpdm_frontend] ) which is not the correct shortcode for showing all downloads. The right shortcode is [wpdm-all-packages jstable=0 items_per_page=10] I have updated the shortcode.
Now download page is here- https://www.toi-suisse.com/media-download/
If a user is not logged in a login button will be shown instead of the download link. After login, the user will be redirected to the download page.

When creating the package you will set the access for the package from package setting meta box.
Hey again,
I installed the old version but when I click on “Download All” on a download package page I am getting this error:
Fatal error: Class ‘WPDM_Stats’ not found in /homepages/2/d124581539/htdocs/WP-Downloads/wp-content/plugins/wppromembership-old-new/functions.php on line 25
Hi Support
I have a problem with my download button.
Previously when i had an issue with it, I was told to you change [download_link] in the template to “[link_label]“, and it worked for a small amount of time.
I have been having another problem for approximately 2 weeks, my download button does not work , if I leave [ download_link] in the template certain documents have ” #unlock” in the URL but still, downloads and others have “#” in the URL and doesn’t work.
Then if I change [ download_link] to “[link_label]” then the documents with “unlock” in the URL change to “#” and stops working and the documents with “#” in the URL changes to “unlock” and works.
I can not get all the documents to work at the same time.
I have attached some images of the code.
Please assist as soon as possible.
Regards
Laurika
Hi,
We recently installed an SSL certificate via BlueHost and we use SiteLock for gwg.org. Since this update/DNS change our WP Download Manager isn’t working at all. It seems to be timing out, and no one is getting the immediate download or the email with link.
This is the page with the most downloads on it: http://www.gwg.org/application-settings/
Could you please help me troubleshoot this? I have no idea where to begin.
I’ve setup an admin login for the site, let me know if you need access to this.
Thank you,
Alexandra
That’s the easy way to serve downloads. Although customers should receive the email after payment if they provide a correct address. You can also check all orders from Downloads Orders page to check if they have downloaded the product.
I can’t access Downloads Templates page. Need administrator role to access all download menu pages. The issue may be related to the custom template code. Please assign the administrator role to the temp user so I can check the template code and implement a new template to resolve the issue.
Sorry for the delay. It is very simple what you explained above.
1 ) Upload your file from Downloads Add package page.
2 ) Setup your watermark text in Downloads Settings PDF Stamper tab.
I see that you have already added some test files and stamping is working fine there. You can use [wpdm-all-packages jstable=0 items_per_page=10] shortcode to show all files on the same page. Or use package shortcode to show each file separately.
Please let me know if you need help in any step.
