we want to move our current downloadmanager database to another installation. Problems are: We need to keep the ids of the downloads, is that possible? If yes how to proceed the movement to the other installation.
We tried to export via wordpress export function and import this file via import into the new installation. This does not work this way. Could you please advice the steps to move downloadmanager?
But, when you have lots of files with different categories to download, you need to create all categories and add all files from Admin Menu Downloads
After you are done with adding all categories and files, now you can use category shortcode or file shortcode in page content to share your files or you can link categories or files directly with your menus from menu manager here Admin Menu Appearance Menus.
BTW, the process in Add New File and Add New Package are almost same.
Hi! Thanks for the response. those square boxes are the files I uploaded into the download manager and categorized. I’ll review and follow the instructions you provided and see where I end up. One thing I do not understand is where to add the short code. Do I create a new page in my site and place the short code in it?
As I dig further, do I need to create a page for each category, and then use the short code to manually add the download link every time I upload a new file?
Or is there a better way to automatically generate a page that looks like your demo pages with all the categories all nicely laid out? If not, does this mean I would create a page and simply add the short code ids for all the desired downloads I want to make public?
I also need to add I’m using the free version, not the pro version, which has add new file, not “add new package”
Hmm… we might be able to use that method I suppose. It would be nice if there was a way to regenerate that key automatically on a daily basis or something so that we don’t have to remember to reset it all the time.
We need a way to track the downloads and a way to revoke access when they stop being a customer. The “multiple passwords” option is almost what we need, but we can’t tell which password was used for each download in the log, so there’s no way to know who it was. Is there any way to create download links that are one-use-only?
Well
I did that
changed my ‘update’ login credentials to the correct ones . clicked save settings and it worked – immediatley
then i clicked ‘check updates’ and it listed my “WordPress Download Manager Special Pack” and it said that need to do an update – so i did.
AND NOW my site is BROKEN
there is no installation the WPDM plugin. ie no listing in ‘installed plugins’ and no folder/directory in ‘wp-content/plugins’
in other words it appears the ‘update’ did an uninstall
Okay, that’s good to know. It does look like some things have changed, and I am curious if we can fix.
We have the files on this site linked out to all our other websites and when the link is clicked (on the other sites) they should be providing a direct download for our customers.
I went ahead and updated the plugin, but that didn’t seem to help. Searched the support forum but with no luck of finding a solution. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
When I publish a new package, the small images on the crypton homepage in the (new downloads and popular downloads) are not showing or take long time to show.
If you want to allow users to upload package from front-end, you can allow any specific role from Admin Menu Downloads Settings Front-end Tab. The following add-on can be used to share any package with the BuddyPress friend or profile wall:
When packages in the table are filtered using category page reload event occurs and loads a different URL ( adds category info in URL ). Shouldn’t these two events enough to provide the user a sense that back button will bring all packages back?
However, if you want you can make your own template for All Packages table and add following code to create a Back to all packages button,
I am using the All Packages short code.
If the user clicks on the category name for a particular package, the page refreshes and shows only the items from that category.
There is no obvious way for the user to get back to the full list of downloads.
Since the same page just reloaded and showed the filtered content, it is not obvious that pressing the browser “back” button will return the user to the full list.
Hello,
Thank you for your response.
Yes I would like to deactivate this, but I can’t find this option in Admin Menu / Downloads / Settings / Frontend Tab
Have you see that I have spoken about other problem, when removing one of the files in package, it is removing all of them.
I tried that, I generate 10 passwords and I set the PW Usage Limit: to 2. Now I download a file and after 2 downloads I am unable to download anymore files – which is good.
I now use the next password I have generated but that dosnt work either, nor any of the passwords – so thats no good since it says the PW Usage Limit is per password not ALL the generated passwords.
Im using Attach Dir – uploading and editing files using ftp. I have setup page template as I only want users to download single files.
Im finding that the enable password lock with a password count dosnt work.
Also the download limit per user as well dosnt work
Is this normal, is there a work around ?
Also I would ideally want each file to have a differant password.
Thanks
Tom
So I just paid another $89 so I could download the 4.6.5 version and I still do not see the ability to keep the filename extension there, when you said it was going to be part of 4.6.3.
Example………
I have already in the downloads, a file called:
Filename.zip
I upload a new version called: Filename.zip
The plugin should Overwrite the Filename.zip with the new Filename.zip, and keep the same filename of the file called Filename.zip
Update to my original post…the license key still says invalid, but the plugin still works. Also, I ended installing this plugins free DropBox add-on, which fixed the file upload problem. It uploads and downloads so fast now! I would still like to know why the license key says invalid though. Thank you!
Hi
We have the Pro version of Downloads Manager. For a few days now it has said that the license key invalid (although the key has not changed, and we only subscribed on March 7). I have the latest version installed on WP 4.7.4
We are getting the error:
Warning: Missing argument 1 for wpdm_download_url(), called in /home/paradigmfsg/public_html/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php on line 149 and defined in /home/paradigmfsg/public_html/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/wpdm-core.php on line 48
Also the search and display fields are not displaying above the table.
This is a new install and we have tried a different theme with the same results. Any ideas what the issue is?
I think you have issues with your license key process. I purchased both the pro version and the ALL ADD ONS and was going fine working on the site and then out of nowhere got a ‘trial key expired’ notification. We never used a trial key. Also, I should have access and install ALL ADD ONS, so why do so many in the Add Ons area say BUY NOW. either it’s ALL or it’s NOT ALL.
Here’s the information via screenshots. The license key from my profile/downloads area shows the exact same key as the one on our site.
Additionally, I don’t think your forum is sending out messages when you toggle it to notify via email. i’m not getting anything from you guys. I got them previously on another question on the form, but not these last two
