We want to show all downloads from one category on one page with preview images.
Our downloads are only images (HI-RES) and we want to show our customers the complete category in a table format.
Preview Image, Download Size, Download Button
Thats it.
How do we do this?
I have linked to the category in our main menu, but it does not look nice. I also dont understand how to edit this category view.
Any help would be appreciated.
THX
PS: I have attached a screenshot from our current category view.
It is very time intensive to add one download after another.
How can we copy one download that has all the settings we need ??
We just need to copy the download and replace the file within.
Any info on this?
Added redirect
parameter in login shortcode to redirect to the dashboard page.
[wpdm_login_form redirect="https://wirtschaftundethik.ch/publikationen-download-center/"]
No option to show all downloads in user dashboard. Code customization is required to implement this feature.
Please take a look at Archive Page add-on https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-default/ It has category filtering feature. Archive Page has some other views too, check all views in Directory Add-on menu dropdown. You can use shortcodes to show these views anywhere you want.
Hi,
Yes, you can control which columns to show for the [wpdm_all_packages] shortcode.
Here is the shortcode:
[wpdm-all-packages items_per_page="20" jstable=1 order_by="date" order="DESC" cols="title|post_content|package_size|download_link" colheads="Title|Description|Size|Download"]
For more information please check this link: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_all_packages-list-all-downloads-in-tabular-format-in-a-page/
Thank you.
Hi,
It is possible to set everything up as you explained above.
The most efficient way for your project would be the user registration, not the email lock. Here is the workflow,
1 ) You display all your downloads here http://www.gdacllc.com/project-center/current-bids/ ( There are many ways to show downloads, we will use one that you think best for your users )
2 ) When a user tries to download, the user is asked to signup/login to your site. This is possible using WPDM, I will set it up for you.
3 ) When creating the package you have to select Subscriber
user role in Allow Access: option in package settings.

Now, let’s discuss the admin features you want. Using WPDM Frontend uploader the admin ( your client ) can upload and manage packages without going to the admin area.
From your previous replies, I think you need the following extra features, let me know if there is anything else.
1 ) View subscribers list
2 ) View download statistics
We can build these for you as a custom upgrade service. I will let you know how to proceed with customization after getting your reply on this ticket.
Thanks ๐
DISCARD THIS MESSAGE I ALREADY FOUND OUT HOW TO FIX IT IN SETTINGS.
Hello there
We have changed our site’s login URL in WordPress and now all protected downloads show the old login page when an unregistered user attempts to download a protected file.
How do I make the plugin update the download link to show the new login URL in WordPress?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
WPDM ist mostly working with WPML, but not 100% correct.
1. Not all categories will be translated (displayed on the frontend)
2. The Widget (Newest Downloads – others I doesn’t have tested) isn’t working with WPML. The translated files won’t be displayed.
This things I reported to WPML. They will test WPDM with WPML, to find a workaround (in this case, the problem with the Widget Newest Downloads).
See my ticket on the WPML-Support-Forum: https://wpml.org/de/forums/topic/widget-wp-download-manager-funktioniert-nicht-richtig-in-uebersetzungen/
Otherwise it will be really great, if WPDM will become 100% compatible with WPML.
@Shariar: Is it possible, that you take part on the Go-Global Programm of WPML, to become 100% compatible between WPDM and WPML?

Hello,
I just installed Download Manager pro. It works very well for my file downloads, thanks!
The problem I have, Is that I also use WP User Manager to control access to my site. I do not need the login or registration function in Download Manager. Specifically, I had set up WP User manager to redirect to my homepage on logout, and that function is not working anymore after installing Download Manager.
In Downloads > Settings > Frontend I have all the pages set to “None Selected”.
Can you provide some advice?
Thanks,
Matt
Could you please try installing the latest version ( 4.7.6 ) of Download Manager Pro? The version you are using is very old ( more than 3 years! ). You can download the latest version here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/?udb_page=purchases
Deactivate and delete the old version before installing the latest one. Your downloads will still be there.

Hello Shahriar
We are using DMpro version 4.2.1.
The files are located here : /var/www/domain/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/downloadmanagerfiles/
downloads via the frontend are fine, no problem on downloads.
only when creating new items or expanding existing items, the files on the server are very large (600 MByte) and the downloads are only 40 MByte.
Can we check which files on the server are actually connected to the items we see in the frontend?
If you look at the files_large.txt which I uploaded in this forum-topic, you see that DM generated quite so large files in a short period of time.
thx Albert-Charrel.
Added the popup with package title in all packages table. Keep a backup of /download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php
file because the changes will be gone after plugin update.
You can make a copy of the file and put it in /thegem/download-manager/
directory to keep the changes even after plugin update.
To change the highlight color in login form please add the following css in your theme’s style.css or as custom css if such option available in yotr theme,
.w3eden div#wpdmreg, .w3eden div#wpdmlogin{ border-top: 5px solid #002e5a; } .w3eden .btn.btn-primary{ background-color:#002e5a !important; border-color: #002e5a !important;}
1 ) Added some custom css in theme customizer to adjust the category section heading
2 ) Added the following code in theme’s functions.php
file to hide admin bar for all roles except administrator,
add_action('after_setup_theme', 'wpdm_remove_admin_bar');
function wpdm_remove_admin_bar() {
if (!current_user_can('administrator') && !is_admin()) {
show_admin_bar(false);
}
}
3 ) You have to set the page template Contact to load the map.
4 ) Where does it redirect after payment? Although an email is sent to the user with necessary instructions to access their downloads.
Hi there,
Just found this morning that all my Downloads are coming up with a “Download not available yet” text file instead of the actual file to download. It’s been working perfectly up until now.
How do I fix this, as I have a large number of files as we’re a training site.
Confirmed! All good on this side:
– All plugins updated
– Purchased downloads are stamped correctly
– No link-expired.txt files
Woohoo! Here’s hoping we never have to go back to that place, lol.
Have a great rest of the week, thanks again.

Download Manager shows all packages to all visitors by default. When you assign a role to a package only the users with the role can download but others can still view the package info. But they can’t download the package.
If you want you can hide the package when a user doesn’t have access to it. Just set ‘Hide Everything’ as ‘When user is not allowed to download:’ option in Downloads Settings Basic Access Settings.

Hello there.
I just purchased this plugin because I really like it however I’m having an issue with it. I’m being unable to edit the “Package Settings” options in the downloads I process with it. or anything within that option such as “Lock Options” or “Icons”. it’s not clickable for some odd reason, This also doesn’t let us change the theme or the way the downloads are displayed, it used to work fine before. I’m attaching a screen shot of the issue, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I purchased the File Hosting & Sharing Add-on, after installing I am able to create folders but can’t upload files.
Further, there is an extra tab on the side navigation “my downloads” which is not in the plugin’s demo website, how can I remove it?
Regards
Hi,
Please download the latest version of the plugin from here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/?udb_page=purchases
Deactivate and delete the old version before installing the latest one. Your downloads will still be there.
Send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply if you want me to install the updated version.
Thanks.
If you are not selling downloads then deactivate and delete the Premium Package add-on. That will remove all sales related widgets and menus.
To remove the Edit Profile and Settings Tab a custom template is required. Here is how you can do it,
1 ) Copy the /download-manager/tpls/author-dashboard.php
2 ) Put the file in this dir /active-theme/download-manager/author-dashboard.php
3 ) Remove line 23 and 25 from the template file
Let me know if you have further questions.
