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 🙁
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
Thanks, I have installed the Advanced Custom Fields. Can you provide links to where the support documentation is? I need to understand how to capture the category, tags, author for when someone downloads using email lock. I don’t want the user to have to enter these fields, I just want them to show on the Subscriber Downloads page.
Once I’ve got that sorted I will purchase the MailChimp Add on. I might be able to find a way to just subscribe them to a seperate list altogether but if I did want to send extra fields to Mailchimp as you suggested do you offer that customisation work or do I need an external 3rd party? Thanks.
1 ) I have uploaded new language files ( wpdmpro-ar.mo and wpdmpro-ar.po , tested those in my installation). There was some settings error in old files. Another thing is I couldn’t change your language from settings. It always stays English. Maybe core language files are missing.
2 ) You are using a custom template for category archive ( taxonomy-wpdmcategory.php ) Link Template are ignored because of it.
3 ) Looks like TinyMCE inserts reformatted category slugs which creating the issue with category shortcode pagination. For now, copy & paste category slugs from Downloads Categories page. I have created a sample page here http://www.shamsaat.com/?page_id=2065&preview=true in this approach. It is working.
Hi,
There are many ways to show downloads on a page. Please check the shortcode list here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/
Install TinyMCE add-on, it provides an easy UI to insert the shortcode. Using this add-on you can insert the category shortcode into your page to show all category downloads.

Please let me know if have any other query.
Thanks.
Actually, in case of Dropbox, downloads are handled by Dropbox it self, wpdm simply redirect to download link, anything you need to adjust, it is in dropbox side.
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.

Hi DD
I found solution for your an my issue also. In my WP I have enabled translations (I don’t use native en language) and there was a problem with i18n. WP function get_the_date() returns translated and in human read format date and then puts the output into PHP function strtotime() and in the end PHP is confused and you get current date.
My simple solution
Go to file:
\wp-content\plugins\download-manager\tpls\wpdm-all-downloads.php
Find code:
<td><?php echo date_i18n( get_option( ‘date_format’ ), strtotime(get_the_date())); ?></td>
Replace code with:
<td><?php echo get_the_date(); ?></td>
There are some JS errors on this page which may be causing the issue.
Enable Ajax on lock options from Downloads Settings Frontend page, that should fix this issue.

If that does not work you have to use embedded form. Clone the link template you are using now and replace the [download_link] with [download_link_extended] tag. Then use this custom link template in your shortcode.
You can read more about custom link template here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/creating-a-new-template/
All collected email addresses are listed on Downloads Subscribers page.
Thanks Shaon by response.
Now I have tree View, But can´t do Downloads.
Each time I try to download a file , it download a .txt file with name download-not-available and text “Sorry! Download is not available yet.”
There is some setting that is not allowing downloads?
Many thanks
The problem solved by the author of the Justified Image Grid.
In justified-image-grid-core.php file line number 901:
Change:
if(!is_admin() && stripos($_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"], strrchr(wp_login_url(), '/')) === false){
to
if(!is_admin()){
It works without any errors now!
2 more questions:
1-) I was planning to use Downloads without links but now I want to use them all with links. Completelhy the reverse. Is there a way to disable the download on click but always open the link in new page?
2-) Is there a way to open a pop-up saying “Your download will start soon.” when users clicked the download?
This reply has been marked as private.
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?
