In reply to: Setup demo
I have installed the Prime and Download Manager Pro. Also created a custom homepage to match the demo style. You can start adding your downloads now. Let me know if you have a further query.
You have the Pro version now.
I have updated package setting and lock option of this package http://it-ebs.co.uk/download/gdpr-data-map-hr-without-software/ Allow Access is set to All Visitors and activated email lock from Lock Options Tab.
Collected email address are listed in Dashboard Downloads Subscribers page.
Now users will be asked to provide their name and email address before download.
In reply to: A couple of questions..
The
[wpdm_frontend flaturl=0]shortcode adds option to create new packages from frontend. You can set allowed user roles from WPDM settings.And the form shown in the frontend when creating package can be modified to match your requirements. Please check the template doc for more info https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/
You can modify the category page partially using the settings from Downloads Settings Frontend Category Page Options
Another option is creating category archive template file
taxonomy-wpdmcategory.phpinside your theme directory. This requires coding experience.Topic: Auto category by directory
Hi,
Is there a way to automatically assign categories based on directory?
I recently had to integrate your Directory Add-on to my workflow.
My upload process used to be
1. Drag-n-drop a file onto a Panic Transmit Mac OS dropletAll of the heavy lifting was performed by wpdm – the file would be indexed and displayed in the Downloads package via the wonderful “Attach Dir” option.
But now my upload process is 7 more steps and it takes 1200% longer because need to log into wp-admin and manually add a category after every upload.
Alternatively, if you could implement a parameter for wpdm-archive:
[wpdm-archive cat_view=”extended” directory_paths=”/wp-content/pdf/notes, /wp-content/pdf/budgets, /wp-content/pdf/maps”]
or
[wpdm-archive cat_view=”extended” directory_paths=”/wp-content/pdf/notes, /wp-content/pdf/budgets, /wp-content/pdf/maps” directory_tags=”notes, budgets, maps”]
That would work too.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.

In reply to: Big exe-file download fails or very slow
Just looking at your product for managing software product downloads on our site.
I can’t seem to figure out what is the default download page? I’m expecting to have some kind of page for each Category that contains all the files in that category for download.
Your plugin refers to Default Template but I don’t see anything under Pages for a newly created page.
Do I need to create a page using the normal wordpress page editor and somehow use shortcut codes?
Your “Getting Started” doc only mentions adding the first file/package. It doesn’t say anything about how to then go and look at what the customer sees for that download.

In reply to: Front end showing "Download Error"
1 ) Maybe user doesn’t have access to the package. Please check package access settings.

2 ) We will fix it in next release. For now, you can use another page template. The code is shown in Single Column, Flat page template.
3 ) Yes, you can use category shortcode to downloads from the selected category or categories. Or you can use all packages table to show all downloads.
Use TinyMCE Button add-on ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-tinymce-button/ ) to insert shortcode easily.
Topic: Import downloads
I’m using WP All Import to import downloads. Everything works fine for me except I’m not able to attach downloads to the post. I upload them into FTP to download manager folder. I contacted WP All import and got a reply:
“You will need to identify how the download manager plugin stores the download information. If it’s in regular custom fields or
the data is stored in a more complex manner.”Could you help me to answer these questions.
Thank you.
In reply to: login and download
Hi, I have a problem with the downloads. I had already contacted you in the past and you had solved the problem, but probably due to an update the problem occurs again. In the various articles, such as this: https://designpress.it/julia-marmi-presenta-al-cersaie-i-vincitori-del-concorso/ files can only be downloaded by authenticated users. After authentication, however, the site leads to another page, but I need it to remain in the pages where it is located and that allows the user to choose which files to download.

Hello!
I currently use Member Mouse for my site’s membership.
I have two membership levels (standard & premium).
The difference for the two levels of membership are the files they are able to download.
For example, the standard membership would allow all members to download social media graphics in the JPG format. I have all of this set up and created downloads for all of those.
However, the premium membership, I want to add an additional download option as a Photoshop file for each graphic.
What’s the easiest way to do this? I would prefer to just add an “download option” to each file for that specific membership if that is possible.
You can get the download link from All Downloads page and attach it with inline words. Each package has a Generate Download Link button. Retrieve the master download link from there.

I can not completely disassemble
I decided to test your plugin
I installed, but I did not like it, changed my cart, I wanted to mix physical and digital items and I did not like that the plugin changed everything.
even uninstalling the plugin will get the message “Missing a required plugin!
Please install / activate WordPress Download Manager to use WPDM – Premium Packages plugin ”
but I want to delete everything related to the plugin. I can not.
broke the downloads he already used with another plugin. broke everything.In reply to: Single packages not loading
Another element, which might help or not : I just tried creating another package, using the ‘explorer’ functionnality to use the same document as one of the package that works – and it works : it’s the package called ‘Encore un essai’. This one displays.
I would thing it has something to do with the database, and an eventual corruption, but the downloads all work on the original wabsite…
One last thing : everything was working fine as of last Thursday. The only modifications after that were the addition of two plugins (Instagram Gallery, WonderPlugin Carousel) and a couple of css changes. I’ve already tried to deactivate the two plugins, to no avail.
I really do not know where to look, or what to test…
Topic: Single packages not loading
Hello,
I have a very weird issue, and I cannot find where the problem is. Here it goes : I have build a website for clients with documents. Until today (as far as I can tell), everything was dandy. But, suddenly (I’m not too sure of when it happened), I cannot see the individual packages, except for four of them.
And for these ones, everything works : the custom templates, etc, etc. They are all in the same category, and are all pdfs.
But other documents, also pdfs, and simple pictures (png), heavier and lighter in weight, just give out a blank page… And Wp Debug doesn’t say anything. The packages have exactly the same configuration in terms of templates, who can see them, etc.
Even weirder, I can download everything fine with the link templates… It’s only when I want to see the single package page that… nothing happens.
And as far as I can tell, nothing I’ve done justify such a change.I’ve also tried adding new packages : I cannot see anything, event though the link template work perfectly (downloads also), whatever category I try to put them in.
It’s so weird that the only way I think for you to realize what happens it to go take a look… Could you please ? I’m at my wit’s end. I’ll give you the info in private.
Cheers,
In reply to: User permisiions doesn't work
You can use directory add-on to show all your downloads with search and filter option.
Here is the demo https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-default/
You can create four different roles for 4 years. And assign a role to the student based on the year. You use either category or package access settings. But using the package setting makes more sense. When creating the package just assign the roles.
In reply to: Invalid license key
Hi Peter,
Connection to the internet is required to verify the key. However, as your setup doesn’t allow it you need to install a pre-verified copy of Downloads Manager.
Please create a new ticket so I can send you a verified copy.
Thanks.
In reply to: Storing Uploads to Amazon S3
Hi,
Before the CSV import upload all files to S3 bucket and point the S3 URL of the file under
filescolumn in CSV. If you attach a sample S3 file manually form edit package screen you will get the URL which you can use to get URL of all other files.WPDM does not copy files to your own server. All downloads are served by S3.
I have attached a sample CSV, hope this helps you to understand the process.

In reply to: Package addition/revisions logging
Hi There,
Love the plugin but am having trouble getting the search page to look correct.
I would like the search page layout to look like this if possible
http://www.harrowcwu.org/downloads
I have tried loads of different shortcodes but it will not give me that layout all I seem to get is this.
Any help is mch appreciated.
Hi Shahriar,
for now we can’t check anything else.
The test-installation you had access to is now not available anymore (as it got cloned again).
What we did now: we added the files again manually for all 288 downloads on the new plattform on the new server.
Then we cloned from there to the plattform you had for testing.
Interresting part: we didn’t encout any problems there.So for now it’s okay and so far “resolved”. No more action is needed.
We’re still not sure, where the problem was. We used the guide provided by wpdm for cloning and did exactly these steps with exactly the software that was outlined (as we use this software for cloning anyway). we also tested it several times.
As soon as we tried the import on the new server: downloads gone.
When we tried on another computer in a local installation: everything correct.
No idea, how these data could have gone away.One last idea we had and we fixed that by hand: there are serveral files that may have a too long file name and used special characters like ” ‘ ” or “umlaute” (in German) like äöü. As far as I was aware, WPDM recognize them and change the filename to an appropriate file name.
With 2 people and 8 hours of work we were able to get all the files back up and runnung and the last clone was now also in order.
Thanks anyway.
ChristophIn reply to: list all packages using a custom template
Hi,
You can use all packages
[wpdm-all-packages jstable=0 items_per_page=10]shortcode to show all packages in a tabular format. This shortcode doesn’t support custom template.Another option is the category shortcode ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/ ). This one has custom template support.
But the best option is using Directory Add-on ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-directory-add-on/ ) which has search and filtering options.
Directory Add-on Demo: https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-default/
Thanks.
I have tried to get an answer to this query for days now without success.
I use the Pro version of WPDM, I have created a large number of packages on my site, each containing a number of files. The individual files download ok but when users attempt to download the compressed Zip package, the downloaded file is empty. I cannot find any answers to how to correct this problem and it’s important for our customers to be able to do this. So can you please let me know what the solution is to this big problem.
I really do need to know the answer to this. If the Zip link isn’t supposed to work, then why is it there.
