yup, I understand that. But just be aware that the “fix” in that file, is not actually the fix. The fix is to use the correct URL. The file was supposed to contain a fix so that cross-domain access becomes a non-issue. This is how it should be, since multisite users often have sites with different domains, even on the admin side. As it stands right now, I have to create a special link to add downloads, and in some cases (such as editing an existing item) change the link after loading the page, because the standard link (in the admin sidebar menu) does not work. I hope you can provide a file that does fix this issue. Thanks.

Hi,
It requires code customization. You have to create your own template for /download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php file. Please check the related doc here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/
Thanks.
Hi,
You can use Dropbox add-on to attach files from Dropbox.
But to restrict downloads user sign up is required. Otherwise, files will be accessible by all users as there is no way to classify guest users.
Your best option is using WPDM Pro with Advanced Access Control add-on. You can assign downloads to a specific user using AAC add-on.
Let me know if you have any question.

Hi,
If you are using category shortcode, no option available there to filter packages by category. You can just show packages from one or more categories. All packages shortcode has category filtering option.
If you want more advanced option you need Directory Addon. Please check the add-on demo here https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-default/
Thanks.
Please send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply to check the issue.
BTW, did you make any changes in all downloads template? Your screenshot looks different than default table style.

Hi,
The shortcode should work fine. Create a new page and name it my downloads. Then put the all packages shortcode there.
If still having 404 issue send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply.
Thanks.
Hello,
I bought the pro version there is a week to use the Email Lock for control the data sheets downloads on my woocommerce website.
I made a download test with the Email Lock on your demo website and it worked perfectly but when I tried to do it on my own website it didn’t worked at all.
First there is no text area to fill with the name and the email and then when I click on the download link the page is just going up without doing anything else.
Do you have any solutions to fix it ?
Best regards,
Arnaud Hervieux
Hi,
by adding the above code, it only downloads the manually uploaded packages with the title. However if we import using csv file, it does not applies on that, it gets downloaded by the file name itself instated if package title. by checking we found that when we upload a package manually the there is a section where where it shows the pdf file name, however by importing by csv its does not shows the filename there. Or may be any other issue would be there. Can you please help us identifying the issue.
Regards
This demo page is coming from the Crypton theme. We applied link template panel there in a customized layout. So, in your shortcode, you can use link template panel.
Insert your shortcodes using TinyMCE add-on. It has intuitive UI and you don’t have to memorize shortcodes.
To show all downloads in a page you can use [wpdm-all-packages jstable=1] shortcode. It shows a table like this one https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/package-list-in-responsive-table/
Let me know if you have any other query.
You have to edit /download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php file. Just replace get_the_date() function with get_the_modified_date() there.
Download Manager sends no cache header only when downloading a file.
You can disable this header by editing this file /download-manager/libs/class.FileSystem.php
Remove line 81,
nocache_headers();
The simplest way of showing all downloads is the [wpdm_all_pacakges] shortcode. If you want more advanced option please check Directory add-on https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-directory-add-on/
Demo: https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-default/
No, you won’t face any issue. Download Manager doesn’t really manage users except controlling access to the downloads based on their roles.
“each package is attached to a category etc and that should be included in the download information so users can see the most popular category”
I second that. Also there should be widget support for it. So we can place the most popular downloads for the mentioned category page. Not overall downloads. There are some easy things you can make for this plugin even greater. Just listen to your users.
Hi guys, just following this up. This really is missing what I believe to be core functionality. Both your setting>subscribers and settings>stats should include these columns with at least the Category and Author Fields included.
The ability for users to understand what category is the most popular or which Author has had the most downloads shouldn’t require custom work!!!
If you can’t include it as core functionality at the bare minimum it should be an additional Add-on. I would happily purchase it and I suspect many of your other users would as well. And obviously if it is being captured then that information should also be available to MailChimp Add-on as again it will enable users to customise automated marketing to customers depending on what package was downloaded.
For example if you know a user downloaded something from a particular user you could then follow up with an email to them offering further books by that author.
I hope you see the logic and do the right thing as otherwise this whole Plugin is pretty much useless for me ๐
Favorite downloads are listed in users public profile page /profile/?profile=userid. We will soon add the list in user’s dashboard.
Please check add-on page info to understand add-on features.
Page Template add-on allows you to use your theme’s page template on the download details page. This is useful when you are trying to control sidebar on the download details page.
Yes, it is possible to use feature image in link template. Create a custom link template and use thumb template tag there with the desired size.
Please create new topics for new issues to relate topic title with the issue.
Hi,
Did you check the Downloads Stats Download History Tab? It does contain a log of all downloads where you can easily check last months downloads. This log is sorted chronologically. So it is easy to check last months downloads.
https://www.evernote.com/l/AUfr53OnC7NNB7Cu_t7NFzWxRigdrvwFRaEB/image.png
Or do you want something different? It is possible to create any kind of stats view but requires customization if it is something new.
Thanks.
You can check the download history from Downloads Stats Download History page. All downloads are logged there.
I’m getting a 404 page not found error when trying to upload or edit downloads. It’s not the theme because I switched themes to twenty 15 and it still didn’t work. The web site is on wp engine. I deactivate all plugins except for download manager. Would you have any idea why im getting the “404 page not found” error?
What is “Add to Favourites”? When user added to favorites where he/she can see the favourites? Using Ultimate Member Pro version.
In download page getting 404 on this:
/downloads/file/index.php?_nonce=3e9321492&id=3874
Is this a problem?
There are free plugins like:
wpdm-button-templates
wpdm-color-button
wpdm-colorbox
wpdm-download-button
wpdm-page-template
What are they actually? Extra templates?
Is there a way to put a thumbnail to the link template? Is it possible from TinyMCE button? I added a featured image on Edit Package but it shows very big, and at the top of the link. I want something integrated into the link template. Like this:
https://cdn.wpdownloadmanager.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/WPDM_Pro_4_Demo_%C2%BB_Ready_Templates1.png
I copied the code of this link template but it didn’t work on my site like this.
Surely this a feature that should be available to all of your users? I’d be happy to pay for something if I am the one to exclusively benefit from it but this should be available to all users!
You already have the structure built in with Author, Category and Tag fields for each package. So it is only logical that when someone downloads a file (the whole point of the plugin) that you capture that information as well!
Can you tell me how to make subscriber log in compulsory for the Doc Preview page template ?
I have set Allow Access to Subscribers for Packages. Im using the Archive Sidebar layout for category view of packages and Doc preview – single page view. When viewing the package on a different browser (not logged in) the protected file downloads after clicking download link or button without prompting user to login.
What am I missing?
Thanks
Brett
