Hey guys,
I’m struggling to wrap my head around templates, even with your docs. I’m going to lay out here what i am hoping to achieve, in the hope you will tell me exactly what i need to do in order to create that. My requirements are:
1. A central download page where all uses see all downloads available.
2. All files have the same template. Ideally “Card” would be perfect, with the image being swapped out for a video if its a video file, for example.That’s it. I’ve created my own downloads page, but all of the files look identical, and are in a single list rather than three columns. The video file, as an example I have the following settings telling i want the link template to be card, but that on the downloads page definitely isn’t card, is it?!
Your help would be hugely appreciated! Thanks in advance.
ConorIn reply to: Category Shortcode
Use category shortcode to downloads from one or more category. Please check the shortcode documentation here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/
Install TinyMCE add-on, It helps you to insert shortcodes with little effort.
In reply to: I cannot update some plugins
Logout and login again in Downloads Updates tab. Also, make sure you are using latest WPDM 4.7.1
You can also download add-ons manually from add-ons page.
In reply to: link-exiperd.txt Problem
Please install WPDM v.4.7.1 to fix the “link-expired” issue.
Save your WPDM login info in Downloads Settings Updates Tab to enable plugin update from your admin dashboard.
Or just download the latest version here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/purchases/

Topic: Category Shortcode
Hello,
I need to show all Downloads from a category.In an earlier version combined with an older WordPress, I could have do it like here:
But now I find no shortcode for categories.
Could you please help me?
Thank you!
I’m working on a site with well over a thousand documents, many of which will be grouped in packages. Is there any way to add the Download Link to the list of attachments?
I’m using the [premium_file_list] tag in the template and what I’d like included besides the “download” button is a link from [wpdm-download-link]. When they click on the link, they’d be able to see all the details, preview images, etc. of the individual file within the document. Does that make sense? (I already have it set to allow for individual file downloads.)
Thanks!
You are using an old version of Download Manager. Installing updated version should fix the email address issue. Please install the latest version. You can download it here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/purchases/ Let me know if updating doesn’t fix the issue.
Download Notification email sends user’s name when you email lock the package. It worked in my test.

There is no direct add-on/solution for Google tag manager/GA. But you can use various actions to track downloads.
Action reference – https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/action-reference/wpdm_onstart_download/
You can also use
.wpdm-download-linkcss class to track downloads using JS.Just put WPDM 4.7.0 Pro on a standard, default WP install (4.8.2). The downloaded file could be directly from the root of the website like “licencse.txt” from the WP installation. I tested on default configuration with no changes made in the WPDM plugin settings other then pasting reCAPTCHA Site Key and reCAPTCHA Secret Key. I created a new package named “test” and for testing purposes I added “lincese.txt” file to it from the site root and I selected “Single Column, Image Top, Extended” for page template.
Result: right after captcha is solved a new download window pops-up with the “link-expired.txt”
I shifted many environment variables [target file, browser, browser caching, package name various plugin download options]
Nothing works.
On some page templates like “Metro Style” the captcha opens in a pop-up. That captcha is not usable. Erorr: reCaptcha service can not be accessed… So please make sure that the captcha lock module is working and also make a simple check of captcha with each link template and page template.-until now, I achieved the same result on 2 separate hosting environments (both using cPanel on linux)
-the issue is not related with output buffering or resumable downloads options
-the links can be normally downloaded and are valid if the captcha lock is not used, conclusion being that the captcha lock module does not get valid links from the plugin core
-I can not find the previous version, WPDM 4.6.9 Pro to download and test. Please send it to me If you can. Downgrading might be the best solution for me at this point.One of the main reasons for which I purchased this plugin is its potential ability to combine expiring links with captcha security witch is almost mandatory these days anyways. Unfortunately I experience a whole range of problems with this plugin when I enable captcha security:
-automatically starting the download after captcha is solved (no option to disable this)
-multi-file downloads and many page layouts do not work well or at all with captcha lock enabled
-automatically download expired links after solving captcha challengeVersion: 4.7.0 Pro

Use
[wpdm_frontend flaturl=0]shortcode to create frontend upload page. Only allowed user roles can upload files from the frontend. You can control these roles from Admin Dashboard Downloads Settings Frontend page.Hi,
We’ve installed and configured the plugin, added some downloads and it worked fine for some time.
Starting this week the pages that contain downloads only show a hash (5970bba80e98a) for each file.
What could be wrong here? We updated the plugin, but this doesn’t help..by the way: when will the plugin support a network install in multisite setups?
In reply to: Lock Package with Password and E-Mail
It is possible to get custom data using Form Lock. But there is no way to use a predefined password with form lock.
If you are trying to get user email and trying to lock package with a password, the best option is allowing downloads only to registered users. You will know then who downloaded which package.
In reply to: Banner Widget control
Good Morning,
I have times a few screenshots to the problem created.
See screenshot 0-2.
The widget controls no longer as soon as you go deeper into the downloads.
Because all pictures are displayed again.Thank you
best regards

Topic: Disappearing plugin folder
Well, thanks.
I had to find out about this problem when a user emailed me. Yesterday, I updated the plugin through the update plugin feature, and it turns out it deleted the plugin folder.
No downloads for the last 24 hours.
You could have at least sent an email to all your users that this was happening. I’ve spent the last hour or so checking over my system, reinstalling from a backup and re-testing. Now got to contact my client who may well have had emails about it I don’t know about it.
Mistakes/errors happen. But you should at least have sent out an email to your paying customers to warn them.
Not happy, but better now I’ve vented.
In reply to: "Secret Link"
Hi,
You can use “Email Download Link” button from Admin Dashboard Downloads All Packages page.

Thanks.
I updated WordPress and Download Manager to the latest version available and after the updates, the menu for Download Manager is not visible anymore. All my downloads and settings are gone in backend and frontend, there is no menu anymore for the WPDM!? The plugin just disappeared!
What could be the issue here?

In reply to: File Cart Add-on Not Emailing Files
Well, it looks slightly better but it’s still not fixed.
Did you actually look at all of the pages?
Here is a list of all the errors I’ve found so far:
1. On the home page and the ‘My Profile’ page, the favourite icons are wrong. They are all full stars, even for files that haven’t been marked as a favourite. Only the ‘Downloads’ page has the correct favourite icon next to each file.
2. The homepage only shows 1 favourite even though there are 3 and the ‘My Profile’ page is showing a PHP warning:
Warning: reset() expects parameter 1 to be array, string given in /home/sandison/sbstheme2.sandisonpay.co.uk/wp-content/themes/softbox-intranet/includes/entry.php on line 30
If you solve the PHP error, maybe the other issues relating to favourites will fix themselves? On the profile page, I can only see one favourite but I can see the preview and favourite button for another file underneath…3. When you search for a file (for example, search for ‘Quality’) and then use the filter (select ‘North America’) the download button goes wrong and the ‘add to filestore’ button completely disappears. You also can’t use the drop-down to see the file description or attributes.
4. This also happens when you use the filter (select ‘Operations’) and then clear the filter (deselect ‘Operations’).
5. The Filestore page looks completely broken — the buttons are all over the place and it looks like all our original CSS has been overwritten or ignored.
All of these things were working before you updated the plugin to 4.6.9, so we’d really appreciate it if you could look at them again.
Thansks.
In reply to: File Cart Add-on Not Emailing Files
Thanks Razia, I can see the email functionality is working now — that’s great.
However, a lot of our styling is now broken:
- On the home screen, downloads page and ‘my profile’ pages the download button has changed, and the ‘Add to Filestore’ button has changed (and there seems to be three versions of it on your new test file).
- The file cart area looks completely different.
- In ‘My Profile’ there’s a PHP warning and all of the icons are wrong.
- On the home page when you use the ‘accordion drop-down’ on a file to see the full description, you no longer see the attributes, just the description (although this works on Downloads and My Profile).
- When you use the filter and then clear the filter, the download button goes wrong and the ‘add to filestore’ button completely disappears.
I did warn you to be careful when updating the plugin because it broke the site when we tried updating ourselves previously.
Please can you try and repair the damage?
Thanks again.
Hello, I am using both Download Manager Pro and Formidable Forms Pro. I am also using Formidable Modal Add-On which allows registration form pop-up when link is clicked. This works fine except when I have Download Manager Pro activated. When Download Manager Pro is activated, it breaks the Formidable Modal Add-On.
Here is a link to my website link https://www.geosway.com/test/
Click the “Register” text on the page and you will see the form pop-up then disappear. Again, this only breaks when Download Manager Pro is activated. If I deactivated Download Manager Pro, then the form pops up and works as required. Can you look at site and see why Download Manager Pro is causing this conflict?
here is link to the formidable add on I am using – https://formidableforms.com/downloads/bootstrap-modal/
When viewing a package-page or the static package-category page (/downloads/category), package-category and explicit package-access declarations are merged correctly per documentation: the union of package-category grants and explicit access grants can view the details of the package.
The content of the [wpdm_category] shortcode does not conform to this documentation, however. In this case, package-category permissions are ignored, and a package in the category will be listed by the shortcode ONLY if the user’s role is explicitly listed in the “allow access” field of the package. Furthermore, when a user has two roles, “custom-role” and “administrator,” granting explicit access to “custom-role” is not enough: the package will be listed only if the “administrator” role is explicitly granted.
In reply to: wpdm_all_packages Display Format
After copying
wpdm-all-downloads.phpto your theme dir.To remove the link from title, replace
<a class="package-title" href='<?php echo the_permalink(); ?>'><?php the_title(); ?></a>with<?php the_title(); ?>.And you need to add more columns for show additional values, as they are not part of core wpdm, no wpdm special functions are required there, if you are using our advanced custom fields addon to add custom data, you can use associated php function or template tag to show the relevant data or if you are using WordPress custom field, you need to use
get_post_metafunction to retrieve and the print the data. WPDM also has a function to retrieve specific package data, that isget_package_data. Doc: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/function-reference/get_package_data/ , seems like, this is what you exactly need. However, please let me know if anything is not clear.
