The single-wpdmpro.php
file should be in /themes/active-theme/single-wpdmpro.php
location because it a core WP supported template. The /themes/active-theme/download-manager/
dir is for other templates like all downloads, login, reg form etc.

Dear Shahriar, I tried this. Now all documents are getting an pop-up where I am asked if I would like to open it with word/excel or if I would like to save it/download it. but now all our downloads can no longer be opened with the office applications. we receive an error that the documents have problems and we can only see hieroglyphics in office.
now i unchecked the “open in browser”, but the documents are still opened with a pop-up and there are still all the errors.
can you please help us?
Good Morning,
first thank you.
– “you can change the url slug downloads from WPDM Basic settings.” Sorry I don´t understand it. Can you please change it.
– “Acess” ok they hide the download Button. Can I make there a Note that the User are not allowed to download. Only hide Button is not so good I think. See Screenshot.
Normal User”Abonnent” are only allowed to download one file per day from the free files. Are Settings for this OK?
Thank you
– Added new custom field Author and edited your custom link template dxf
to show that author when available
– added the background in custom template
– changed the button color
– access is not working because from your download manager category settings you are allowing all visitors to access the download

– https://www.dxf-downloads.de/category/downloads/3d-drucker-stl/ is the archive for your post category 3D Drucker .stl
It is not download category archive. Download category archive url will look like this https://www.dxf-downloads.de/downloads/download-category
you can change the url slug downloads
from WPDM Basic settings.

Category URL base is shown when you are visiting download category archive.
https://domain.com/category/themes [ this is the URL when Category URL base category
and visiting themes
category archive ]
Package URL base is shown when you are visiting download/package details page.
https://domain.com/download/pro-icons [ this is the URL when Package URL base download
and visiting pro-icons
package ]
Archive Page slug is used to show downloads/packages archive page,
https://domain.com/downloads [ this is the URL when Archive Page slug downloads
and this page shows all packages/downloads ]
How do I do this?
Say I have 200 downloads in the “oranges” category and before the download template, I want to add some text that only gets displayed if it’s the “oranges” category like “here are the oranges downloads”
I can’t create a new template, as I’d have to set it manually on 200 downloads.
So in my real world example I have 200 or so downloads, and I have a page of instructions on how to use the downloads of a certain type.
What I’d like is to be able to add that link above the downloads, or in the text description to show people where to get help with them.
Hope this makes sense, and hope it can be done in some way. I’ve looked at conditional tags, but I wouldn’t know where to begin using them with WPDM.

The contents of the .htaccess file is
RewriteEngine On
<Files *>
Deny from all
</Files>
If the downloads still not found then check the PHP error log if you have anything there.
Thanks
Hi,
Create a dir named download-manager inside your active theme dir, copy wpdm-all-downloads.php from /plugins/download-manager/tpls/
to{active theme dir}/download-manager/
, now open and edit the file.
And remove the link tag from 251 to remove the link from the title.and for category 222 no line.
Thanks
Hi,
You can put all your downloads file in uploads/download-manager-files
directory. Then you can put filename with space like (abc.txt,another-file.doc,other-file.pdf) in the CSV file and map it to WPDM:files
fields.

Yes, you should do mapping once after uploading a CSV.
Thanks
I recently migrated all of my wp sites over to new hosts, during that process I had to repurchase the wpdownload plugin because I couldn’t find my original license key with my email, so I purchased the special 99.00 business package for my multisite (I run 10 websites off of this WP host) Now that I have it reloaded, things seem to work for uploading and displaying downloads but no matter what I do when we try and download a file we get the “file-not-found.txt” download.
Please advise,
Seth
Well the problem is that they were not imported, so there was also nothing to remove.
I ended up adding the downloads 1 by 1.
To bad that the Bulk Import causes the database crash, I think Importing less then 10 files a time isn’t really Bulk Import.
I updated my site’s WPDM file manager to the latest version (Version 1.2.0), and now all of my download files are gone. Need these back up quickly, and none of the support topics have worked. HELP!
Hi,
Maybe WPDataTable plugin loading it’s own datatable js/css. You can remove WPDM’s datatable js/css from /download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php
file. That should fix the conflict. Or if there is any option in WPDataTable to disable the js you can try that.

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.
