Order the package by ID instead of only Title or Publish Date. Your shortcodes instructions say: order_by: field name to sort packages, you can sort by title, download_count, create_date, update_date or id , its a optional parameter, if you skip this parameter “id” will be taken as default.
I followed your instructions here: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/
How do I assign an ID to the package so that we can order by ID. THanks
Here’s the link. Now, it’s no longer working on my laptop or desktop computer, either.
Upon clicking this, a PDF (eBook) for a musical release should be begin to download.
It’s about 1.90 MB in size; fairly small.
This is one of several downloads that we are tracking on our site:

Yes, I edited /download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php
Make a copy of that file and put it in a folder named download-manager under your active theme directory. /active-theme/download-manager/wpdm-all-downloads.php

hi,
thanks for your answer. it seems that is has worked 🙂 thank you. i guess it takes a while for changes to take affect.
Did you just modifiy the wpdm-all-downloads.php file?
Will those changes get overwritten in a plugin update? –> if so i can make a back up from the files you have changed if you tell me which one.
thanks a lot for your help!
If you want to update, create a new CSV file a new column header ID and use post id as values. If there are only a few to update, you can update manually from: Admin Menu Downloads find the package you want to update Edit and Update.
Good Afternoon,
I’ve recently purchased Download Manager Pro, and have everything installed and set up on WP 4.8. The Plugin works great, and I’ve recently added the free “Image Button” addon as I want to have a button instead of a “download” link. This plugin installed fine, and I can now see the option within Downloads > Settings > Image Button.
When I select an alternative button design, or upload my own design for the Link Template, all appears well until I click the “Save Settings” button. The loading animation / rotating circle on the button then just spins and spins for ever. The settings are not saved – I’ve tried this using different browsers and computers / connections. We have full write permissions to the DB, so I’m not sure what could be causing this. Would a screen share session be best to illustrate this problem to you?
Thanks again,
Laurence

Hello i test it. All pligins disabled and when i enable wpdm but i add footer widget of top downloads. When i add it to footer then i get whole domain stuck i must manualy over ftp delete wpdm plugin. 100% tested.
I am having trouble with downloads in Google Chrome. When a user tries to download a simple PDF, there is an error, “Failed to load PDF document”. My download hyperlinks are on my website, but the files are on Amazon AWS. There is some kind of restriction somewhere that is preventing me from downloading a file. I am able to download some PDFs, but not all. The file downloads fine in I.E. and Firefox. Also, I have only seen this error with PDFs, but could be happening with other file types, but I haven’t seen yet.
Please help me fix this ASAP.
When I click on the Downloads menu in WordPress > Settings > Updates, I can see the Download Manager Pro 4.6 twice. Naturally it should show only once. Can you please explain me how to make sure that it shows only once?
Please see a screenshot attached.
I’m sorry to hear that you removed that feature. One of the main reasons I purchased the All Add-ons Pack was for the WP Pro Membership plugin and its ability to restrict posts as well as downloads. The WP Pro Membership page on this site advertises that:
WordPress Membership Plugin adds a simple meta box to “Edit Pages” screen allowing you to control access for each membership level offered. You can also control Post content via Category.
This is false advertising and the page should be updated.
I need a solution for controlling access to posts and downloads. Do you have any suggestions?
hello i have pro version and about 50 downloads over wp download manager, today website crash and i try to find what is wrong and after 1 hour searching i disable wp all plugins manualy over ftp, and enable 1 by 1… when i get to download manager website stuck..
Resource Limit Is Reached
The website is temporarily unable to service your request as it exceeded resource limit. Please try again later.
in cpanel i see this
https://image.prntscr.com/image/Od6IJaCwStmI43apzvbFCQ.jpeg
so now i have big problem, if i enable wp download manager server stuck in 10 second and he is offline all the time, if i disable all is ok… i dont want to lose all download i make that for months 1 by 1… so what can i do O.o
WP Pro Membership controls the downloads only. We removed support for all other custom posts to concentrate on subscription-based download features.
1)
[wpdm_frontend] page does not serve the downloads. It is used to create/manage packages from the frontend. Only allowed user roles can view this page. You can set those roles from Downloads Settings Frontend Tab.

2)
You can use shortcode to show a package on frontend,
https://www.evernote.com/l/AUdR2EhA2q9Pj6l_RmxsSCBGBpwXRn7y-cEB/image.png
There are many other shortcodes to show multiple packages in various ways, most simple is
[wpdm-all-packages items_per_page="10" jstable=0 order_by="modified" order="DESC"]
It shows all downloads in a table.
3)
Install TinyMCE button addon to insert shortcodes easily right from the editor.

Hi,
Download Manager manages access to files based on package. You can add package from Admin Dashboard Downloads Add new page or from [wpdm_frontend] page using Add New tab.
First, create a package from admin or frontend area. When creating the package attach files related to that package and manage access settings from Package settings meta box Allow access. Use browse files tab in Attach Files meta box as you are trying to assign server files to the users.

This doc explains everything related to adding a new package https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/add-new-package/
Let me know if you need any other info.
Thanks.
Hi,
The acreenshot looks like a customised version of all downloads shortcode,
[wpdm-all-packages items_per_page="10" jstable=0 order_by="modified" order="DESC"]
Please check this shortcode. That might work for you.
Install TinyMCE addon to insert any WPDM shortcode easily.
Thanks.
Hi,
Yes, you can remove that info using a custom link/page template. Custom link/page template allows you to display download info in your own style.
Go to Downloads Templates page to access all templates. Clone the template you are using now and remove the data you want to hide from there. Then save it. Set this custom template in package settings or shortcode to use it.
You can read more about custom template here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/creating-a-new-template/
Thanks.
Thank you. The bucket explorer looks better, and I can now create buckets and folders.
However, the Edit->Files page accessible from Downloads->All Files seems broken still. If I try to upload a file to a bucket/folder from within Edit->Files for an example download, the file gets put into an unnamed folder in my S3 bucket that is not visible afterwards from Edit->Files. I can see it in the S3 console, but not within WPDM. I’m not sure how Upload Files is supposed to work. It allows me to pick a file to upload FROM my computer, but doesn’t seem to allow a choice of folder in the bucket to upload TO.
I can successfully link to a file that already exists in an S3 folder, however, its direct download link is broken. For example, in Downloads->All Files, I have created a dummy text file to download called CentOS7-TEST, which is linked to a file called CentOS7.rtf in my TestBucket. Clicking the DIrect Download icon for this file generates:
<Error>
<Code>SignatureDoesNotMatch</Code>
<Message>
The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided. Check your key and signing method.
</Message>
Even though the access and secret keys provided seem to work for other operations.
We are currently trying to debug whether this is an S3 permissions issue of some sort, but that seems unlikely given that bucket and folder creation work, and the console would seem to indicate that read/write permissions are correct for the access key provided. If I can’t get the direct download functionality working I may have to abandon this plugin for my needs.
Hi,
There are many shortcodes you can use to show downloads in various ways. The simplest one to show all downloads is [wpdm-all-packages items_per_page="10" jstable=0 order_by="modified" order="DESC"]
The simplest one to show all downloads is [wpdm-all-packages items_per_page="10" jstable=0 order_by="modified" order="DESC"]
It shows all downloads in a responsive table.
Install TinyMCE addon, it helps you to insert shortcodes easily without memorizing them.
You can check this doc https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/ for shortcode references.
Let us know if you have any other question.
Thanks.
I have just shown one example of showing downloads. You can also use link templates too. Link Template gives you the power of controlling the frontend view of Downloads.
Install TinyMCE addon, you will find an easy way to use many shortcodes there.
Yes, it is possible to hide the table when the user is not logged in. You have to edit /download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php file.
Add following line at the top of the file,
if(is_user_logged_in()):
And this line at the bottom <?php endif; ?>

Hi,
Yes, you are right. That is the template file ( /tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php ) used for the responsive table.
You can remove the count and details page link from the title by editing this template. You should create your own template and make chnages there. Otherwise, your changes will be lost after plugin update.
Thanks.
Hello
I just update to your latest version 4.6.6 from 4.6.3. At the very first moment the plugin just disappear and didn´t show at the plugins list.. and I could check that the downloads were showing shortcodes instead of the files.
At that point I download the latest version from my account and reinstall from that 4.6.6 downloaded version. Now I don´t see the shortcodes but something is wrong since I can not watch any icons, not from the administrator nor from the online version.
What is the problem?

Please help asap.
Thanks
