“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 đ
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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).
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>
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.
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?
Our packages are enterprise software apps and some of them are iOS versions. They have a very unique URL structure because itâs outside the App Store.
WPDMP doesnât 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 canât 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?
Does Download Manager work if you disable your justified image plugin? Download Manager code on the reported line is a just simple call to get_permalink function which is a core function. So, most probably it is something in the justified plugin. Have you notified that plugin author about this? We really want to solve this for you. But doesn’t look like WPDM related issue.
– You can use the shortcode to show downloads anywhere you want. Use TinyMCE button to insert shortcode or copy the shortcode from “All Packages” page.
– Subscribers page lists all user info collected through email lock feature.
– Frontend settings pages are used for different purposes including redirecting users to the login page. Create a page for each of these shortcodes and set the page in each page option.
– All WPDM files are uploaded in /wp-content/uploads/download-manager-files/ directory. But you can attach files from any server directory to your download package. We do not recommend changing the upload dir as this change will be gone after each plugin update.
Hi, seems to work OK thank you (but you forgot to re-activate the plugin on the network, leaving the 6 sub-sites without any downloads all weekend and client very unhappy!)
Can we update WPDM core from 4.6.6 to 4.6.7 without any problems? Or did you add some custom code to fix, that would get over-written if we do this?
Is it possible to update the plugin using your internal plugin updater yet? I know it didn’t work before. Do we still have to update manually via FTP?
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!
