I’m new to WP and Download manager Pro.
I have the license key accepted for the Pro version.
I have created some categories and added some packages with files uploaded to them.
So now, how do I get them to show on a WP page?
Basically, I want to create a ‘Downloads’ page in WP that is off my main menu that has the category of packages show up on the page.
The ‘Downloads’ page is created and shows on my main menu but I cannot figure out how to get the Download Manager Pro category onto the page so the packages show. (or the packages individually for that matter).
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Our packages are enterprise software apps and some of them are iOS versions. They have a very unique URL structure because it’s outside the App Store.
Example:
(itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/DIRECTORYNAME/FILENAME.plist
(actual URL in private follow up)
WPDMP doesn’t accept this as a URL, so we have these set up as downloads from dropbox. This brings up 2 small issues. On the downloads available page:
It displays default download buttons, which do not work. It also can’t display a download size, but I know we can manually enter that.
So…
1. Short-term, is there a way to have a page for my iOS apps that hides the file size and download buttons and just has the list of file names? (see screenshot)
2. Would Dropbox Explorer be a solution in this scenario?
Hello,
is it possible to get the history/statistics also monthly? Actually I have to set a date and the history shows only downloads from that date. But we need an overview about all the downloads in other periods – monthly, by year…
Our fail or not possible at the moment?
Thanks in advance for your answer!
Hi,
I’m having trouble using the media player on mobile devices. On android, it requires the user to hit the play button twice to play the song and on iOS devices, it doesn’t play at all. We’re trying to use this plugin to count streams/downloads for donation purposes. Is there any history of this problem? Or common implementation issues?
Thanks.
Hi Guys,
I have a very simple requirement to show some single file packages in a table and allow users to download them. All was working great with free version however since upgrading to pro version, with intention of customizing table template, now when users click on an individual file within the table my entire site comes to a grinding halt. If they click the download links all is ok it just happens when a user clicks on the individual file/package name and it is obviously trying to load a template and it crashes entire site. If I restart apache2 all is ok however I am very disappointed with the pro version which I was hoping would allow me to customize templates not kill them entirely. I have not changed anything apart from upgrading and this started happening immediately after the upgrade.
I am using this shortcode in my downloads page;
[wpdm-all-packages items_per_page="20" jstable=1 order_by="title" order="asc"]
Interesting any shortcode like, [wpdm_package id=1364 template="link-template-calltoaction3.php"], for a specific package also kills the site – please let me know what is going on I have narrowed down to a template needing to open.
Using Ubuntu 16.04 for a private intranet site.
Any assistance would be wonderful at present I will have to remove this plugin.
Barney 🙂
Hello,
I’m using a pro version of the plugin with Directory add-on and here’s what I’m trying to achieve:
I have a page on our website where I use this shortcode
[wpdm-archive cat_view="compact" button_style="default" link_template="59552142bc87e" order_by="post_title" order="asc" items_per_page="30"]
It displays all our downloads and you can also view different categories filtered out on that page. When I go onto individual package page it displays categories of the package, but when I click on them it goes to display all packages in this category but using a different template. Same happens when I click on tag links from the package page.
My question is: Is there a way to make these links go to the initial page where I use the short-code and just make this page filter out downloads in a particular category or with a particular tag?
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Hello,
I am using the shortcode below…
[wpdm-all-packages items_per_page="20" categories="slug1,slug2,..." jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="ASC/DESC"]
And here are my own edits…
[wpdm-all-packages items_per_page="100" categories="accreditation, general-resources, in-service, legislative-action, calendar, crisis-management, curriculum-standards, early-childhood, fine-arts, health, language-arts, mathematics, physical-education, reading-list, religion, sacred-music, science, set-safe-environment-training-curriculum, policy_handbook, federal-programs, health-guidelines-for-schools, international_students, miscellaneous-forms-info-and-resources, personnel_forms, professional-growth, tax-credit-and-esa, teacher_e_g_p, teacher-evaluation-documents, wellness-policies" jstable=1 order_by="title" order="DESC"]
You can see how the front-end looks here:
http://catholicschool.staging.wpengine.com/en/downloads/testing-search/
However, I want this page to be limited only to those who’ve logged in. You can see that the other pages (through the sidebar sections) that other pages have access limited.
How can I do this the same for the page above?
