You can change the login form location by changing the page template. The login form is shown in the position of the download button. So, use a template where the download button is at the bottom. Or you can just create a new page template from Downloads Templates page.
You can also hide all contents from Downloads Settings Basic Access Settings When user is not allowed to download
Hi,
Actually, 500 error should come up for various reason that includes corrupted .htaccess or lower memory limit. As sometimes the downloads works, I tried to debug but not found any problem with the plugin. There might be issue with the server side. You may contact server admin or follow this.
Thanks
Hello,
in germany it ist not allowed to store the ip-adress or name based on data-security-law. Is there a possibility to hash or make the ip-adress/name anonymous?
For statistics it is enough to see which file has how many downloads an when.
Thank you for a solution.

Hello,
So i’m trying to sort my table with update_date but it seems it don’t work, i can order by title or categories when i click on the colhead but it don’t work with the colhead update date (even if i have dates froms differents days).
I can’t manage to do it even in the shortcode,
here’s my short code :
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="10" jstable=1 order_by="update_date" order="ASC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Update Date|Download"]
The table stay order by alphabetical.
i’v checked others topics like this one https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/topic/cant-order-downloads-by-date/
but i can’t make it work for the moment, could you please check if it’s a bug ?
Thanks
Hi,
I have added a comment here 1 week ago but didn’t have any answer, the comment is still pending. So I will post here for a better visibility.
Like I was saying, I am very surprised that you don’t have at least a gateway for a full-stack digital commerce solution. All the gateways that you have are payments-only solution. A full-stack digital commerce solution should be a priority gateway because this is exactly what your plugin ( wpdownloadmanager with eCommerce premium) should be linked to.
Currently the only full-stack digital commerce solution that I know are Fastspring and Paddle.
Fastspring exists for 13 years with….150 millions users (!), and it support everything that you support: pay as you want, subscription, licenses, downloads….
Do you think you can add Fastspring in the gateway?
You will open your door to 150 millions users.
I have checked with your concurrent (I will not say the name here obviously) and they have a full Fastspring integration. It is why I am still surprised here.
Thank you.

Please read the whole thread above.
I can take the file and place it in a folder in my root directory and download it via a direct link from the same computer with the same connection. It might take 4 minutes or it might take 10 minutes, but it downloads. So it is not a hosting or firewall issue.
That same file when linked through WPDM times out at 3.5 minutes.
AND it was not timing out 2 weeks ago. The only thing that changed was updating to version 4.7.3.
Hi,
All packages shortcode has more customization option now. You can control the number of columns without using a custom template. Please check the documentation here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_all_packages-list-all-downloads-in-tabular-format-in-a-page/
If you want to keep using your old template then please send FTP info in private reply. I have to check the code to suggest the required changes.
Thanks.
Hi,
Downloads depend on the internet speed. So, it can’t be same in everywhere. Are you using GoDaddy hosting? Is there any firewall enabled? Have you any PHP error in the log file?
Thanks
Hi,
You can show packages from certain categories with the all packages shortcode. But there is no option available for tags. You need to use the shortcode on any page to show the packages there. You can use TinyMCE button to easily insert the shortcode.
You can do customize design for wpdm-all-download by putting the wpdm-all-download.php
file into the ActiveTheme/download-manager/
folder and modifying it.
Thanks
I was using Downloads very successfully up until about 2 months ago – since then all my download links no longer work but result in a 404 error, I cannot find the cause of this, please assist.
Hi, after looking at the code I see the fault is on me. Please help me to correct the code!!
Some years ago we customized the file “wpd-all-downloads.php” and put it in our child theme. But I now see our file is totally outdated, since WPDM have updated and changed the code in the php-file, last year I think. (I am surprised our modified file is still working at all…)
In the following code from wpdm-all-downloads.php I need your help to change two things:
case 'categories':
echo "<span class='__dt_categories {$cxc}'>".$cats."</span>";
break;
case 'update_date':
echo "<span class='__dt_update_date {$cxc}'>".get_the_modified_date('', get_the_ID())."</span>";
break;
I do not want “categories”. I want “Version” instead.
I do not want “Update date”. I want “File size” instead.
Can you please give me the changed code, so I dont mess it up.
Do I also need to add some changes anywhere else in the php-file to make this change work?!
Hi,
You could either use All packages shortcode to show all the downloads as they are free or category shortcode to show downloads of specific categories.
You can use this filter to add a menu in the dashboard.
Thanks
How do I show a list of available downloads? I’m trying to set up a secure section of a website that has a list of downloads, with categories, for all users to freely download.
Also, how do I add a link to this page in the menu on the Dashboard?
Hi,
From Short Codes you can find the Category Short-code
[wpdm_category id="Category ID" order_by="field name" order="asc or desc" item_per_page="10" template="temaplte name or ID"]
Details here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/
Thanks
Hi,
For,
2. WPDM does not serve downloads using the filepath. Even if the user has the filepath, no one can download the file if doesn’t have right permission ( from package settings ).
3.
3.1 Transparency possible
3.2 yes, you can stamp user info

3.3 encryption possible, But there no way you can actually secure it, as it is viewed by the user, so they can get images of the pdf to use later.

3.4 it depends on the server. Should work with any file size
Thanks
Yes, You can upload multiple files. Also, they will be packed as zip and cached for future downloads automatically by package.
Thanks
Any answer on this? It’s kind of a big deal that people can’t download our software.
And yes, I’ve tried it with all the Resumable Downloads/Output Buffering Options.

You can remove this full
<div class=”row”>
<div class=”col-md-12″>
<div class=”breadcrumb”>
‘.__(‘Home’,’wpdm-archive-page’).’ <i class=”fa fa-angle-right icon icon-angle-right”></i>
<span id=”inp”>’.__(‘All Downloads’,’wpdm-archive-page’).'</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
This will also remove the row and small space which col-md-12
class taking.
Thanks
Can you please define the code I have to remove?
I removed this part only:
<div class=”breadcrumb”>
‘.__(‘Home’,’wpdm-archive-page’).’ <i class=”fa fa-angle-right icon icon-angle-right”></i>
<span id=”inp”>’.__(‘All Downloads’,’wpdm-archive-page’).'</span>
</div>
now the breadcrumb is gone but it is OK with this part of code? Or should i remove something else too?
the full code is:
</div><br class=”clear”/>
</form>
<div class=”row”>
<div class=”col-md-12″>
<div class=”breadcrumb”>
‘.__(‘Home’,’wpdm-archive-page’).’ <i class=”fa fa-angle-right icon icon-angle-right”></i>
<span id=”inp”>’.__(‘All Downloads’,’wpdm-archive-page’).'</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>’;
Hello,
we have two twin-installations, cloned by Updraft, cause the client wants to change providers. So we copied from existing provider to new provider. Fairly (cause client wont lack money), we licensed both profi-plugins.
All packages appear as we want (right content in description, right category), but what lacks is: there are no attached files. When we use “export-downloads” under tools in WP (so we get a xml), the XML contains data for attached files. Even the folder exisists at the server and is filled with correct files.
How can we make sure, attached files will show up? By the amount of packages and attached files, a “by-hand”-solution fails. And: we do need the exact package-ids otherwise page content wont show the right package. What can we do? One of my guesses is: client missed some migration in the past, so attached-file-data is hidden in some custom fields.
Thanks for help.
Hi
I fixed both those issues so thank you.
Today I just purchased your DEFAULT VALUES ADD ON but it doesn’t work via the frontend and I really need it to please?
If it is supposed to work please can you check it via the secure login I already sent you as really trying to finish this site today
Ive also noticed in wp-admin Downloads > Settings > Updates I get a php fatal error if I try to click that check for updates button
Please check for that for me too
EDIT – just tried that UPDATE ALL button in teh default values to see if it would apply templates and who can have access to all packages and the templates worked but on both test packages they are now empty in the allow access to! so it has removed all user groups/roles from that field? please check.
Thank you
That sounds like a bug to me, if the password is always checked – even if it is disabled and shouldn’t be used.
And: on my install of the free version, all my downloads have been set a kind of default password (not by me). So EVERY download does now require a password, which is in that way quite unuseful. Currently I am in the process to edit every single download an remove this default password…
Maybe a change in the last update(s)?
