Hi,
It is possible.
You can modify the wpdm-all-downloads.php and put it under your active-theme/download-manager to achieve this. Or you can order custom modification service by sending email to customize@wpdownloadmanager.com for a quote.
Thanks
I’m already using the all packages shortcode, but clicking on the category to filter I find it unintuitive. The shortcode already has a top selction filter to filter the amount of downloads shown on the table. I would like another dropdown selector for the categories. Is it possible to edit javascript like the link that I sent to work with wpdm?
I am not sure how downloads on your “Resource Library” working. Because there is no /uploads/download-manager-files/ dir in your installation ( https://www.evernote.com/shard/s238/sh/7c879425-f360-4bd7-b229-4dbb9b02ba52/1de995f3758253e7 )
Did you attach URL or directory on these packages instead of uploading files?
Please deactivate and then reactivate Download Manager. That might create the /uploads/download-manager-files/ dir. If it doesn’t please ask your server support to check the issue. This can be solved by changing server settings. Just inform them, WPDM can’t create a directory in uploads dir.
If you want us to look into your installation please send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply.
Hi,
It is not possible yet to use only one form to unlock all downloads. But we will look into it to implement it in our future updates.
Thanks
Please check allowed user roles settings from Downloads Settings Frontend Tab. Maybe the option is not set yet. If you activate the frontend access each user can see and edit their own packages.

Is there a way to show a gallery grid, where each package shown has a checkbox, then there is a select all option to check all boxes and download all which downloads all checked items?
There is an order_by parameter in archive shortcode. You have to use that to show latest packages initially. To show latest downloads at first use order_by date and set order descending like the following shortcode.
[wpdm-archive cat_view="extended" button_style="default" link_template="link-template-calltoaction2.php" order_by="date" order="desc" items_per_page="10"]
Hi,
Sorry for all the confusions above.
Some things like menu item color or navigation/pagination can’t be controlled by Archive Page in this case. Because these things are controlled by your theme. The template ( archive.php ) you created is a core WP template ( usually provided with the theme ). It doesn’t have any use with Directory add-on functionalities.
When you are clicking the category ( from archive category shortcode page ) it just pointing you to the category archive page which is rendered by your theme.
Using the Archive Page Sidebar view is the best solution for your use case,
1 ) It will keep the Downloads menu always active.
2 ) Sidebar view has built-in pagination to track parent-child relation.
Please check the demo here https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-sidebar ( click on Technical Support Bulletins on left sidebar, it has a child category, you will see how pagination works there )
and let me know if you need any help to set this up.
Thanks.
Please read accurate what I´m writing to you.
- I do NOT want to color the default theme title in black. Instead I want to color the DOWNLOADS menu item in black, as the black color is the active state for the menu.
- The
/plugins/download-manager/tpls/wpdm-category.php is not been used at all. I can change in this file whatever I want and nothing happens.
- I need to add the name of the category as title into the view
List-of-files-in-category.jpg above the list of files. This view is using the archive.php template for any reason and no specific wpdm template. How can I change this AND how can I add the name of the category as title?

Do you use any other plugin to show this page(https://plural.wpengine.com/downloads/pdf-test-front-preview/) only to logged in user?
First of all, I have tested all way, in the package setting the package is visible to all visitor. but it seems like without login the page is not accessible, it redirects to login page.
Do you have any PHP error log on the server?
There is a security access which checks the admin role to load the pdf file maybe.
Thanks
Hey,
I attached three files.
- Categories-view.jpg: You can see the view of the categories. I did this by the following tag
[wpdm-categories cols=4]
- List-of-categories.jpg: These are the categories you can see in the first screenshot but defined in the backend
- List-of-files-in-category.jpg: If you click on one category as you see in the first screenshot, you get a list of all files in that category
What I want to change is that template of the List-of-files-in-category.jpg screenshot. As described in the posts before, I was able to change this template by adding a file archive.php into the active-template-folder. But this is not pretty nice, as the archive.php is been used by wordpress also for other pages.
In this view I need:
- The menu item DOWNLOADS needs to be colored in black as it is still the active navigation point, but even if the URL is
/downloads/hotfixes-und-patches/, in the menu the navigation point is not set as active one
- On that page there should be a headline with the name of the category, where files belong to. (In this case it would be Hotfixes and Patches)
I hope my problems are clear now and you are able to help me.
Thanks!
When someone is adding a package from frontend, he/she must select the value for “Allow Access” field:
https://www.evernote.com/l/AV1HzvCYt1JBBKe3QnqCS5BKuUUzB256eF0B/image.png
I created the following package from frontend and it is working fine:
https://plural.wpengine.com/downloads/test-frontend-pack/
Sorted. Thanks.
A quick observation – it would be great if in the downloads area it showed you the domain against each product. When you’ve a few managing licenses and renewals becomes a bit of a pain. I’ve seen somewhere else do that really well and it’s very helpful (WP Rocket I think).
Anyways, sorted. Many thanks again.

Hi there,
I’ve tested with different browsers but all the downloads are functional. If there any specific php error for chrome on OS X available, can you give us from error log?
Thanks
I can’t give you a login because the server is private, so even if you had credentials, the development website is still inaccessible to the public.
And Shahriar, unlocking all downloads with one form submission would be nice, but I found a work-around that suits my needs.
I changed the link-template to one that only has the link to the designated download page of the file. Then, I changed that page template to a custom one I made that only shows the extended download link. Since Form Lock is on, this is replaced with the form, so it looks like the page redirected to the form, but is actually on the package page. Filling out the form and clicking “Submit” shows the direct download link as I wanted it to.
Thank you guys for all of your help! Bouncing some ideas off of you helped me figure-out this clean work-around 🙂
Hi,
Please update the WordPress to the latest version. And I have tested your package downloads. All working fine. But you are getting download-not-available error in which package the file is not available.

Thanks
Hi,
It is not possible yet to use only one form to unlock all downloads. But we will look into it.
Thanks.
there is a method for make a backup of my downloads? i want to remove the plug-in and then reinstall it
You think that maybe the solution?
All package table has the search feature and you can also use WPDM Search widget. Directory Add-on just extends the feature and has various ways to show, search, filter downloads. Ultimately it’s your choice if you want to buy it or not. I just showed a different option for you as you didn’t like the all packages table search.
Hi Hasibul and thanks for your reply.
The URL aren’t the same?! The one abowe has a dashes… Is it not enough?
Compare: http://195.238.77.215/~kavlingelarcen/ladda-ner/ vs http://195.238.77.215/~kavlingelarcen/laddaner/
Ok, I don’t think the customers understand we shall click the link a the right… Is there a way to make (in my chase TEST) download directly? Or REMOVE the link so it’s only the link at the right that i clickable??
I’m now familiar with php, but if I change the table template, can I do it right here ../download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php ??
It will not be overwritten when updating?
I saw your category base and package base was the same?
There is a quate above. “Caution: Use unique word for each url base. Also, don’t create any page or post with the same slug you used for WPDM URL Bases below.”
Please modify it.
So category page will be work here http://195.238.77.215/~kavlingelarcen/laddaners/instruktioner/
And yes, the user can download from that page not going the package details page from this page. Here is the button for direct download.
But if the user can see details page by clicking on the title. You can modify that too from all downloads table template here ../download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php
Thanks
Hi,
You can list all your download package by using [wpdm_all_packages] shortcode. Details Here.
Thanks.
