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.
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.
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
