Topic: Downloads/All packages
Downloads/All packages – table preview of all downloads:
It would be nice if you add “Total views” next to “number of downloads”, also with ability to sort it high-low and vise versa.I’m trying to display all of the downloads available and also remove the “Display ## downloads per page” located at the top left and also remove “Previous 1 Next” at the bottom right of the page.
I have added an image and circled in red of what I want removed, but still be able to display all downloads.
In reply to: How to modify the category display template
Hi,
Category archive template is controlled by your theme. But you can partially control it from Downloads Settings Frontend Access Category Page Options. Chech the avilable option there.
Another option is using a custom taxonomy archive template in your theme. The file name is
taxonomy-wpdmcategory.phpand you have to place it in your active theme directory. Implementing this requires PHP coding experiences.Thanks.
Hi there,
I would like to create a page like the default archive demo page, but can’t get it to look like that. What I ideally want is a combination of the category sidebar like this page, search bar from the same page and then the documents list from this page.
Can you maybe add the used shortcodes to the demo pages? Most of the shortcodes are easy to understand, but for some, I have quite some difficulties to figure those out.
And, another question. Would it be possible to add status for public/private downloads in the list overview (see attachment for explanation).
Thanks for your help!
Regards, Bas
In reply to: How create a homepage?
The demo site is using our Crypton theme https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/crypton/ So you need this theme to create the exact layout.
But you can also use category shortcodes to display downloads from a category. Install the TinyMCE add-on ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-tinymce-button/ ) for using shortcode easily.
In reply to: Total number of files / downloads in category
Waw, thank you!
It (sort of) works.
The code counts the number of packages and downloads correctly, but it sticks results to the top of the article, and not where the shortcode really is.
I also get “Updating failed” error every time I try saving the page. It seems the page actually does get saved though despite the error.
Can you take a look why?
Topic: Download link url
Hello guys,
Right now, I’m using this code to generate my download button:
$data['download_link'] = \WPDM\Package::downloadLink($data['ID'], 0, array( 'template_type' ► 'link' ));It generates this kind of HTML:
<a class="wpdm-download-link btn btn-primary " rel="nofollow" href="#" onclick="location.href='https://mysite.com/?wpdmdl=5286&refresh=5c6d13a29aef41550652322';return false;"><span>Download</span></a>In the
<a>tag, I would like to add a data-url attribute that will contain the href to the file. How can I do that? How can I get only the url, not the full<a>tag ?In fact, I need that because I want to create a “Download selected files” button, that will launch multiple downloads at once, depending on selected packages. (not all-in-one ZIP, but trigger each download separately). How would you do that?
Thank you in advance,
CedricIn reply to: I'm not seeing a full view of the user dashboard
Could you please check the PHP error log or send me the log file. It should indicate where the issue is. Downloads are actually logged as I see the count is increasing.

In reply to: Order by alphabetical order
So, You are using the default category archive template provided by your theme to display downloads. If you want to modify the ordering in this case, you have to customize the category archive template of your theme.
But Download Manager has a category shortcode to show packages from a category in a better and customizable way. Here is a demo of category shortcode https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/category-short-code/
Shortcode documentation https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/
You can keep using your theme archive but category shortcode gives you more control over the view and ordering etc without code customization.
In reply to: Download ID not found or expired (Export)
You can’t yet import the exported CSV to transfer your downloads. Because some column names don’t match the import file structure and some values are still exported in a serialized state. We are working on making this more useful. Currently, you have to change the column names and remove some CSV columns to make the exported CSV import ready.
For now, your best option is using the WordPress default exporter/importer to transfer the downloads. That works fine when you are transferring all your downloads.
Topic: URL Change
We had our site in a test folder while we built our site. We moved it last week and now Download Manager is crashing our site and using all our resources. I see in our database our downloads are still looking for the test site and I’m thinking that is the issue. We tried to use a search and replace, but it does not seem to want to edit any Download Manager items. Is there a way to fix the paths of our downloads?
Thanks
We have just migrated multiple WordPress sites which use the Download Manager plugin to a new server with php 7.1.26 installed (the old server used 5.3). Ever since, the download buttons on WPDM package pages do not work – they do change the url of the window, but nothing downloads. However, if you remove the “WPDM Package URL Base” and the package name from the URL in the address bar, you not only get the download, but also the BEHAVIOUR configured in Download Manager settings (eg. if it is configured to try and open the file in browser, it does so, otherwise it simply downloads).
Can you please advise why this has happened, and is there a simple config change we can make to correct it?
Thanks in advance
In reply to: Email Lock with download link not working
Hi,
I have installed the Form Lock addon on your site. Using this add-on you can lock a package behind a form. Just enable the Form Lock and select the form when creating or editing the package. Please check the screenshot below.
https://www.evernote.com/l/AUfK_nc67SNO3KTvrpw1EnzF-Fsoot4AhNEB/image.png
After submitting the form you will get an email with download link. The email looks like the following screenshot.
https://www.evernote.com/l/AUelXA6ZXU1EZLWNyrDCiQ7B_xE6rMRcmIUB/image.png
The email template is customizable from Downloads Templates Email Templates page.
Let me know if you have any further query.
Thanks.
In reply to: Incompatibility with FacetWP?
Hi Shahriar,
I have made some progress on this.
Summary
The site runs “Download Manager” 4.7.3 with FacetWP 3.3.1. The site has more than 140 downloads. The “downloads” archive page display well all my downloads.After updating “Download Manager” 4.7.3 to 4.9.2, I have a big issue : the “downloads” archive page displays nothing under the header, where the downloads should appear (no footer neither). I opened my PHP file to manually limit the number of downloads in the query to 90. Than everything was working fine again. If I change that number to 100, the issue is back.
So I guess that the way things are done in 4.9.2 are more ressources “greedy” ? What server configurations do you recommend ? Do you know what can cause that between 4.7.3 and 4.9.2 ?
Thank you in advance !
In reply to: Display publishing year in table
There is JS error in console. Please send temporary admin login info in private reply. The issue may be related to the error. Although the publish date works fine in my setup. Did you customize the all downloads table template? There is no built-in support for “download_link_blank”.
All new uploads to my site have recently encountered this error:
<b>Notice</b>: A non well formed numeric value encountered in <b>/public_html/people/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/libs/class.DownloadStats.php</b> on line <b>35</b><br />
Line 35 of the mentioned file:
$udl[“”.$index] = isset( $udl[“”.$index] ) && is_int( $udl[“”.$index] ) ? $udl[“”.$index] + 1 : 1;This has meant that all PDF previews do not work. I can still download the document, .docx previews do not work either.
The attached screenshot is what the preview is rendering the PDF as with the error at the top.
line 35 mentioned above was double checked with a previous post to ensure it was the same as required. I updated the plugin as well to see if that would fix it and it has not.
Need some help with this asap. Thanks.

Yes, you can show the publish date and expert in all packages table. Please check the shortcode documentation here for more details https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_all_packages-list-all-downloads-in-tabular-format-in-a-page/
In reply to: Customizing All Downloads page
Hi,
You can use shortcode parameters to customize the look. Shortcode doc https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_all_packages-list-all-downloads-in-tabular-format-in-a-page/
You can also use a custom template for
/download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.phpfile to customize the all downloads table. Please check the template doc here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/Let me know if you have any further query.
Thanks.
I recently renewed my license and upgraded to DM Pro 4.9.2. How do I customize the look/feel of the all downloads page so that it doesn’t look like it does now?
Topic: Order by alphabetical order
Hi there,
Question for this evening, i am using Download manager since many many years and i’m completely satisfied.
Using the 4.1.3 since i installed it with another plugin to order download by alphabetical order, i decided to update it with the lastest version of WPDM.
Badly, i had to postpone the update due to some graphic changes/issues with my template that was not supported anymore with the lastest wordpress.during the time i need to investigate to modify WPDM template to fit my old wordpress template, is there a way to order download by name? i saw few times on google some short code or other things, but there is actually no short code to input. I add a category, add downloads to it, and i add the link of the category on my menu. thats it (unless i missed something)
Which file should i modify for ALWAYS having all my downloads, from any category to be orderded by alphabetical order?
My goal is to remove the other plugin that was re-ordering downloads on top of WPDM.Thanks!
actually using : “Alphabetic Pagination” plugin otherwise it’s always by date
I just posted this topic to the official WordPress forum, but I think to get better assist direct at the publishers forum, so I copy my request
Hi all,
I just installed WP Download Manager Free and put a download online.
This works fine as long as the password lock is disabled.
As soon as I enable password lock and enter a password, update the page, it doesn´t download any longer.
It shows all the fields like enter password and submit, but no matter which password I enter, nothing happens. It just returns to my start page without any message.
How can I find out the reason? I already tried several settings like disabling css and the other options or disabling resuming downloads. Nothing really helps.
As soon as I clear the password field of the download and disable Password Lock again, I am able to download again.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks
StefanI have the following short code:
[wpdm-archive items_per_page=”10″ order_by=”date” order=”desc” category=”Governing Documents”]
It worked fine. At some point over the last few months, it stopped. On the pages, this text shows up instead of showing the documents.
I am not sure where to begin to work on the problem. I do not know how the underlying system works to know if this is a WordPress problem, a WPDM problem or a directory add-on problem.
In my plugins area the version of Download Manager shows: Version 2.9.86. I clearly see there is a new version. If I might need to install it, I tried to upload it and it would not install because the current one is there. I fear wiping out the current library if I delete the current.
For what it is worth, I have a widget at the bottom of the page with recent uploaded files. It uses WPDM New Downloads and that IS working.
Clearly there is a lot I am unsure about. Please advise at your convenience.
Thank you,
WesTopic: Download templates?
A little question – just in case I have missed something!
So far if I have a download that I want to add, I do it manually: “New Download”, then give it a title, select the proper file for downloading, then select a category, then I go down and specify lock options (with some terms and conditions text to be accepted) and a custom icon.
But now I have just a few “types” of downloads, and I more or less have to copy over these data from one download to the next, and just change the title and the file name.
It would now be handy if I could just do one of the following:
– either “copy” a complete downlad definition with a new title, then “edit” and change the few things that are different
– or have some kind of “download template” that already includes all these things and from which I choose if I define a new downloadIs this already there and I am only too stupid to find it? Or would it be part of another extension? Or is it just a “nice to have” that does not exist yet?
Regards,
Cornelis
