Hi,
You can format the page with the template file describe here (https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/).
And you need to
Create a dir named download-manager inside your active theme dir
Copy wpdm-all-downloads.php from plugins/download-manager/tpls/ dir to the dir you created in step #1
Now you can edit copied wpdm-all-downloads.php the way you want.
The process is to keep your changes even after updating the plugin.

Hi,
I checked the page downloads. All files are downloadable.
Thanks
Hi,
You can just modify the existing template file and puts it in your theme folder/tpls. The filename for the shortcode is wpdm-all-downloads.php, you can find it in plugins/download-manager/tpls.
Thanks
Hi there,
From the Downloads -> Settings you can enable login at the single package page.
And you need to change the Allow Access option to subscriber from single package settings section for showing the package only the login members.
Here is the single package with login:
Thanks
Hi
I had to restore our website after updating this plugin as all document downloads disappeared. Please can you advise how to update while avoiding a recurrence of this.
Many thanks
Maybe the package was accessible to all visitors when those downloads were served. If you see any recent entry check the package setting for access rules and let me know.
Is there a way to download basic stats such as downloads and views? It can of course be done manually, but that’s incredibly time consuming.
Hi,
I cannot find any help in setting up Social Settings. I want to be able to share downloads using Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter especially but no explanation of what to do.
Dear Shahriar, how can I install the old version without losing any of my downloads?
Please send me the link to check the issue.
If you are using “WPDM packages by category” widget you can control the package view by selecting the preferred Link Template.

But the package view in category archive page in controlled by your theme. You can partially control this from Downloads Settings Frontend Category Page Options panel.
Hi,
Yes, you can set order on the custom category page with shortcode. Here you can find details (https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/).
[wpdm_category id="Category Slug(s)" operator="IN" title="Custom Title Here or 1" desc="Custom Description or 1" toolbar="1" paging="1" order_by="field name" order="asc or desc" item_per_page="10" template="template name or ID" cols=4 colspad=2 colsphone=1]
Follow the shortcode. In order_by you can set various values like:
order_by: field name to sort packages, you can sort by title, download_count, create_date, modified ( update date ) or id, it’s an optional parameter, if you skip this parameter “id” will be taken as default.
Thanks
okay but i think you are missing what i want to do. I just want to capture name and email address and load the page with the different versions. Email lock will not load the page and make the download button active, it just emails them or downloads ALL The documents. I need the page to load so they can choose what version they want to actually download.
Set allow access to ‘All Visitors’ in your package settings to allow downloads without registration. You will find the package settings meta box in edit package screen.
Please set allowed access roles from Downloads Settings Frontend page.

Thanks Hasibul for your quick response.
I’ve updated to 2.9.59, the newest version it offered. The problem still persists, however.
It concerns the website Mutualfund.nl. One of the pages/downloads that should not be accessible to regular visitors, but only to registered users, is https://www.mutualfund.nl/download/2017-10-persoonlijke-update-vincent-peters/.
This post is part of the Downloads category ‘Persoonlijke bestanden’ which we’ve declared in the category settings for your plugin should not be accessible to ‘all visitors’ and subsequently only to the roles ‘subscriber’ and up. Even though the page/download I linked to is only part of this category and no other, it is still accessible.
I’m guessing the accessiblity setting is being overridden by a post-specific setting which I cannot update in bulk, but I’m not sure and that wouldn’t be a sollution, since it’s not updatable in bulk.
Any idea?
Thanks!
Jacob
Hi!
I’ve tried to restrict access to all downloads in a certain category. I’ve done so because this appears to be the only way to restrict access to a whole bunch of downloads in on bulk action.
However, it seems that, whatever I say about the restricted access for posts under a certain category, they all remain visible for all visitors. Can you help me figure out why this is, or how I can best restrict access in bulk actions?
I’m running version 2.9.58 of your plugin.
Thanks!
Jacob
Thank you for the reply.
That is not really my issue.
The file and folder structure in my actual gGoogle drive compared to the Downloads manager does not match.
1.
I have not files in the root of my Google Drive but yet all the files in sub folders on Google drive appears on the root of Downloads Manager
2.
When you try to view the files within a specific Sub Folder it says that there are not files in the folder
3.
Please view the screenshots comparing the file and folder structures from Google drive and Downloads Manager

You can use WPDM category shortcode to show files from a single category. There various sorting options. Please check the options for order_by parameter here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/
Use multiple category shortcodes to show categories as you explained above ( One category after another )

Hi ,
As I see all your downloads from the members’ category shown as desc by date on the page.
Is the issue you are talking about is the sub-category items above the shortcode results?
“Home -> All Packages”
Then, that’s not generating with the shortcode.
Thanks
Good afternoon,
I recently changed servers and now any time someone clicks on a package to download it gives a file not found.txt in its place. I have tried re-uploading the files as well as uploading a new one. All of them give the same file not found.txt file instead of the uploaded file. I have checked the downloads folder and all of the files are there and are being uploaded properly.
Can you help with this?
1 )If you want users to register before download then allow downloads only to ‘Subscribers’ role in Package Settings Allow access option. If someone is not a subscriber they can only see the posts. But won’t have access to download.
2 ) Maybe you are confusing the email lock feature with the subscriber access. Email lock doesn’t require registration, a guest can download the file by submitting their email address. All collected email addresses are listed on Downloads Subscribers page. Option (1) is the better choice for you.
3 ) If you want to sell downloads then install Premium Package add-on https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/premium-package-wordpress-digital-store-solution/
The “clear stats data” option in Downloads -> Settings does nothing for me. Removing all rows from the DB table “wp_ahm_download_stats” clears the data in Downloads -> Stats, but each package still has views and downloads associated.
Am I missing something?
