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.
https://www.evernote.com/l/AUd5YFlDeypPu4MOGbZMSv-IpPz4imBDg_4B/image.png
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!

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?

I’m having some trouble with the shortcodes. I’m trying to test out the different link template and display all downloads within specific categories. I’m using this shortcode:
[wpdm_category id="184, 185, 186" operator="IN" title="1" toolbar="1" paging="1" order_by="field name" order="asc or desc" item_per_page="10" template="link-template-bsthumnail" cols=4 colspad=2 colsphone=1]
However, nothing shows up except the Order By toolbar at the top. You can view the page here: http://eomovement.org/new-library/
What am I missing? Am I doing something incorrectly with the shortcode?
I’d also love to know if there’s a way to display all downloads subdivided into categories automatically.
Thanks so much!
I see. I’m looking forward to the fix as soon as possible since I have my templates set to allow single file downloads only, not package downloads. Thank you.
Hi there,
What kind of issues are you facing with the installed plugin?
And yes the latest version is compatible with the wp 4.8.3. You can download the latest version of the plugin from dashboard https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/purchases/ .
Did you put your license in the Downloads -> Settings -> License?
Go the Settings -> Updates and login to the wdmp account. Then the update can be installed.

For the update go to the plugins page.
Thanks.
You can change the “From address” by editing email-lock Email Template.
1 ) Go to Downloads Templates Email Templates page
2 ) Edit Email Lock Notification template
3 ) Set “From Email” and save the template.
Now all email-lock emails will be sent using this new address.
Hi again
Really loving the plugin BTW, getting a lot out of it.
How do I show New and Popular downloads on a page? (see screenshot attached)
And is it possible to add this via PHP (not shortcode) so I can edit a template?
Have you modified the wpdm-all-downloads.php template or uisng a custom template for it?
The sorting issue is related to the language. We fixed this in the next version which is coming today.
You just have replace <?php echo strtotime(get_the_date()); ?> with <?php echo get_the_time('U'); ?> in wpdm-all-downloads.php file if you are using a custom template for that.
Hi team,
we have another issue after updating to the last pro version. When a new download is written with the short-code to the category, it just writes “download” with no description.
Example: https://www.nikon-fotografie.de/downloads-aktuell-und-neu/
Link form: Link/Button Popup
Page form: 2 Columns/Image right
With
Link form: Call to action 3
Page form: Preview gallery
everything is working fine.
Thanks for support!
Greetings

A while back you guys did some custom work for us.
1. When a user logged out download manager, they end up back on the login page. Currently, logout takes a user to the WP login page.
2. When the user logged in, you bypassed the screen that said “You are already logged in. Go to your Dashboard.” That page is back.
3. I found a new bug. I am using User Role Editor to create custom Roles for users including alternate roles. I use the Roles to manage permissions in WPDM as to what downloads the user has access to. A user could have mulitple Roles and they would see any/all dowloads associated with each role. Originally this worked great, but now the user ONLY sees the downloads associated with their primary role. They do not see downloads associated with their alternate roles. They did a couple of months ago.
