Hello,
We have a standard of 4 packages per product (price, tech specs, catalogs, montage guidelines) on our downloads website.
However as you can assume not all products have a file for each of the packages. therefore sometimes we have a package with 0 files inside.
Those still show up in our [wpdm_all_packages] and [wpdm-archive cat_view].
Is there an option/possibility/code snippet (js, jquery,…?) to hide those empty ones?
Not creating them is not an option since over time most of them might get their documentation filled in eventually. And the people who will do that should only add files not create the package.
Kind regards,
Skylux
And the problem is that there might be some user who can access all downloads.
then there will maybe be one user who cant access download A. and another User who cant access download B. and maybe some user who cant access download A B and C…
you understand?
But if I could make groups it would help I think..
sorry I am from germany hope you understand me.. it is also a bit different to understand for me. Please write very simple ๐
Please check this:
http://downloads.ps-international.de/download/preislisten/?lang=en
the translation does not show any downloads…
“You are not allowed to access this page.”
The link I postet before, I added the translation myself. I changed to english and had to set up the whole download package again.. add the files, make all settings…
if I dont do this it looks like the link above.
Hi,
I am scoping for a new web project and need to know if there is any way in which the Subscriber emails for download packages can be linked up to use the email from an already logged in user?
We are using Woocommerce to sell physical products on the website, but will have trade accounts using this wholesale plugin.
The downloads will only be available to trade customers who have signed up with this specific user level.
I would like to know if there is any way in which your Newsletters plugin can work with this, automatically using the users email address when logged in to add them as a subscriber to the package and get notifications when the files are updated within this package.
We want the process to be as automatic as possible and don’t really want an already signed in user to have to input their email address again once they have registered or signed in.
Do you think there is any way in which this can be done? Or will users have to put in their email address in order to get notified with the Newsletters plugin?
Many Thanks,
Nick
Oh and another issue. is it possible, that the Download button (to download all files) is at the top over the single downloads?
sorted this out by myself
For now, you can hide the download button from all packages table. To download, Users have to visit the package details page by clicking the title. Please check the shortcode doc here.
The profile page is for authors, so each author can control their public profile view. And allowed users ( which is controlled from Downloads Frontend page ) have access to the frontend uploader page.
Hello.
Okay I created a new Page and now I will explain what my problem is:
I created one Download Package at your Demo page:
demo. wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/download/bread-butter/
(had to crash link, please remove space)
And I created one on my page:
downloads .ps-international.de/download/bread-butter-artikelbilder/
(had to crash link, please remove space)
With the exact same settings.
But on my page it looks completely different.
What I want:
1. the first area with “File Size” “File Count” ect. is good!!
2. The next area with the single file downloads should look like on the demo page (link above). Preview Images etc.
3. No Sidebar! I have nothing in my sidebar and I want the page to be fullwidth.
4. The buttons (counts and download) should be #00519e color (see screenshots what I mean)
I then want that all my download packages look like this. Is it possible that I just duplicate them?
Please tell me what I did wrong and how I can achieve the look I want, so I can always make it like this ๐
I will add my login data in the next private reply.
Thank you a lot!
I first installed the plugin on: ps-international.de
but now I created a subdomain and installed it on this: downloads.ps-international.de
I removed the plugin on the other domain but when I add the key to the new domain it tells me: Invalid License Key!

Hi
I wonder if someone can help. I have purchased the Pro version and also File Cart add-on.
A user can download individual packages OK. They can also add packages to the Cart OK. When they go to the cart page they see the added package downloads in the cart OK too.
However if they click the ‘Download’ button in the cart (which should download a ZIP containing all the packages in the cart), then a text file called ‘something-wrong.txt’ gets downloaded and not a ZIP of the files. The Text file contains the words “File not found!”
Can someone please help tell me where I am going wrong?
Cheers.
Hi,
Yes, you can set allow access from package settings section to Administrator only, so the package can be accessed by only admin users.
Also, check this setting from Downloads settings to hide everything.
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for the purchase.
1 ) If you want to show packages from a specific category then use category shortcode. Please install TinyMCE add-on to insert shortcode easily.
2 ) You can check download history from Downloads Stats Downloads History tab. To check user specific stats click on ‘Download Stats’ under username is All Users page.
Best regards.

Hi,
Sice I installed the latest version the website lags very much, especially on the pages with links to downloads (but also on the backend). About 1 minute to open pages!
Thank you in advance

On the frontend, you can edit/manage only packages created by you. But you can, of course, download files created by others.
You can view the package by clicking ‘View’ link from ‘All packages’ admin page. If you want to show all packages then use [wpdm-all-packages] shortcode to list all downloads in a tabular format.
Do you mean sort by package/download name?
You can add order_by="title" to sort by title.
Here is the link to shortcode doc https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/
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.
