When attaching a file from the Add New Package admin page and uploading a new file for the package using the Attach Files admin panel within the Add New page and publishing the new package, the PDF Stamper plugin does not stamp the file thus attached when downloaded.
The package version involved in this scenario are:
WordPress Download Manager version 4.6.0
WPDM – File Manager version 1.2.0
WPDM – PDF Stamper version 1.8.0
WPDM – Default Values version 1.5.1. This is included for completeness, I don’t believe it has anything to do with the problem.
Although this issue has occurred with previous releases of each of the plugins and previous versions of of WordPress.
The steps to recreate the issue are:
1. Go to Add New Package
2. Enter title
3. Accept default values set by the default settings plugin add-on.
4. Add the pdf file using Drag-and-Drop feature of the Attach File admin panel. The Attached Files admin panel will show the file name without any path info. (See image-1.jpg)
5. Select a category.
6. Publish the new package.
7. Go to the front end and download the new package file. The file is supposed to be stamped by the PDF Stamper plugin, but it is not.
8. Return to the back end and edit the package just created.
9. Remove the file from the package.
10. Click Update to update the package.
11. Using the Attach File admin panel, “Browse” tab, find the uploaded file and attach it. Notice the path to the file in the Attached Files panel. It is the fully qualified path. (See image-2.jpg)
12. Update the package.
13. Return to the front end and now download the pdf file and view it. It is now properly stamped by the PDF Stamper plugin.
An alternate way to work around the issue involves these steps:
1. In back end, go to the Downloads -> File Manager menu item.
2. Upload the pdf file. Note: Using either Drag-and-Drop or the Select File dialog box, when the file is uploaded, the page in the background behind the Upload dialog box says “Invalid Directory…” However, the file is uploaded successfully. (See image-4.jpg for error message displayed.)
3. Add a new package as before, but instead of uploading a new file from the Attach Files admin panel, browse to the file just uploaded in the File Manager with the “Browse” tab.
4. Attach the file. When the previously existing file is attached, the full path name to the file is populated as expected. (See image-3.jpg)
5. Publish the package.
6. Go to the front end and download the new package. – Actually you will get the same result using the Direct Download link on the All Packages list in the back end – Open the pdf file and it is correctly stamped by the PDF Stamper.
Please disregard the double forward slashes in images 2 and 3. There was a trailing slash in the settings field that was removed and the steps retested. It did not affect the issue. I just didn’t update the images.
My goal is to be able to use a shortcode to display Downloads with a certain tag on a page or post.
I was originally using Display Posts Shortcode (https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-posts-shortcode/) but it doesn’t recognize the tags assigned to Downloads items.
I was hoping that the “WPDM – Archive Page” Add-on would allow me to do what I want, but it doesn’t look like it.
Any idea how I can call Downloads to a page/post using Tags?
Hi guys,
Before buying the add-on “Download Limit”, I have a question, I am using another plugin on my website “Out-of-the-Box” (Dropbox plugin).
And I was wondering, is it possible to link Download Manager Pro to a Dropbox account?
The idea is that I want to display a “PDF library” on a webpage, and I want to limit the number of downloads. I would like the users to log in in order to be able/allowed to download files.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi team,
I’m trying to solve a puzzle here and wonder if you could help speed up the process. I’ve got the following setup on a real estate agent website running fine so far:
Docs download with Email Lock option
Mailchimp Integration
Zapier pushing Mailchimp data to Active Campaign
Active Campaign starting a campaign
It all works fine, except that I need some sort of identifier; tag, URL, post tittle (preferably) being sent to Mailchimp in order to identify which property a client will me contacting me about and most important to be able to trigger different Active Campaign emails based on the property.
Questions are;
– how can I have the email lock asking for First Name, Last Name and Email and have them all set as required fields?
– how can I have the email lock sending an identifier to a Mailchimp field?
I’m rather confused if I’d need Advanced Custom Fields or WPDM Live forms add-on or if this can be achieved without them so I’m open to ideas and suggestions, as long as the identifier can be sent out to Mailchimp/Active Campaign. You may preview the site/downloads at http://www.rebeccak.co.nz/properties/89-mapua-drive/
Thanks,

The player does not work properly and shows a strange number after the song ends.
Example:

Also expecting an upgrade that plays all the songs in the package and differentiate downloads and play.
Thanks

I have MemberMouse (membership plugin) installed on my site. It makes it’s own login page become the default. When I activated DM Pro, when I try to login that page hangs (the login button hangs on “sending…”) If I de-activate DM, everything goes back to working. To login as admin to my site I have to use wp-login.php
Any ideas why DM is causing the issue? Or what the best way is to use these two together (I intended to use DM to protect downloads in my online courses)
Thx!
On “wpdm-all-downloads.php” the icon name should be prepared with strtolower(), because I uploaded a image with extension captalized (.JPG), or you could convert to lower case on upload process.
