Hi. I just purchased the Pro version of the Downloads plug-in and I tried to install and got an error message that the file directory already existed. I have the free version installed. It says not to deactivate it as the Pro version is an add-on.
Deactivate and delete current installation and then install the latest one. Your data and settings will still be there.
To get automatic updates in future connect your WPDM to update server from Downloads Settings Update tab. After successful login, you can update plugins right from there.
I set up a couple of test posts, both password-protected, and I cannot get either to work on my end–just “Processing…” but the file never downloads.
(even after clicking to “load unsafe scripts”, making page not secure)
Sitelock (my CDN firewall) has not been able to get it working, either, and they insist that it is some sort of coding issue and that they are not blocking the plugin.
One of my download objects are not working. Most are fine, but one of them allways downloads as “file not found” for some reason. Its a bit bigger than the other downloads and is a PDF.
I provided a custom template for all packages table which will sort packages by update date when jstable=1. If you follow the steps below plugin update won’t delete the custom template.
1 ) Create a /download-manager directory ( folder ) in your active theme dir. ( i.e. /themes/your-active-theme/download-manager/ )
You can add this CSS in your theme’s style.css file to change download link color .wpdm-download-link { color: #DF2629 !important; }
But you can also use another link template there to present the downloads in a more stylish way. The current template you are using there is the basic one.
Install TinyMCE add-on to select link template when inserting the shortcode. You can also use Image Button as the download button.
Hi
I’ve just bought the special pack and been trying to install it, by choosing “install new plugin”, select the zip file and then click “install now”. It uploads the zip file but then comes with a “are you sure you want to do this” message. Tried it on chrome & ie, same result. Cleared cache & history&cookies on chrome, same result.
I also had a previous issue, whereby adding downloads resulted in an error, which then fixed itself with a retry, but then the download had an access denied message. I can’t replicate that one at the moment, but perhaps it is related.
Thanks for your help!
I’ve applied my license key before, but it seems to get invalidated.
On the WP plugin page I see:
There is a new version of Download Manager available. View version 4.7.1 details. Automatic update is unavailable for this plugin.
Please activate Download Manager license for automatic update. Validate license key
When I go to Downloads -> Updates, there is no mention of the 4.7.1 update, though I am logged in and do see that updates for Add-ins have been applied. (I also see no mention of 4.7.1 on your website.)
When I go to Downloads -> License, there is no license displayed. I logged in to your website, went to my downloads, clicked on the download link for “Download Manager Pro v4.7”, and click the button for my license key. As instructed, I copy the displayed key, and then past it into my wordpress install at Downloads -> License. I then see a message “Invalid License Key”.
How do I get a valid key, or get activate with my existing key?
Hi,
I upgraded to Download manager PRO. I had a password lock on all of my downloads before I updated. After I updated the password lock was disabled on many of my files.
I have been going thru and manually updating the password lock, however after I check “enable password lock” and enter the password, then click “UPDATE”. The password lock does NOT update.
I have tried it numerous times and I can not get the files to have a password lock.
I am confident at installing it myself, however, can you please provide the link (can be private) where I am able to download the current version that you have mentioned. When I go to my account here my downloads have expired.
Access settings work in all packages table too. If you are trying to hide packages that user doesn’t have access to, then set the option as “Hide Everything” in Downloads Settings Basic Access Settings
You can get the direct download link of a file from “Downloads All files” page. Just copy the download button URL as shown in the following screenshot.
On this page, the download button under the Add On name, takes me to the package page. How is that set up?
On my page that list all my downloads, the download buttons always “trigger” the download. How do I get the buttons to just go to the package pages?
Install TinyMCE add-on to insert these shortcodes easily.
2 ) Use the second shortcode I wrote above to show all downloads with card template. You can show video in card template by creating a clone of card template and replacing thubmnail tag with video tag [video_player_500] But there is no option to apply condition there ( i.e. show image or video based on availability )
