Unfortunately the link in the email is not the problem, I don’t use that feature, I just want user to enter email and instant download which is what I have setup. But I have tried again this morning by enabling one of the documents to locked by email (instant download do not send link) and again on all computers I have tried I just get link expired.txt file. So it is still not working with all the cache exceptions in place. If you login and test page it does work ok for logged in users, but if a visitor comes to site and clicks on download link they enter email address and then it downloads link expired txt file and not the document.
To be clear, these are free downloads that only require a passcode, hosted at digitalocean which doesn’t place any restrictions on files sizes like this at all. The site is cinematesttools.com, which works well otherwise. (Some files require registration, but the test files I have been asking associates to download are at: http://www.cinematesttools.com/index.php/download/xkcd1080/
I have just toggled the Output Buffering and Resumable Downloads to “Off” since they didn’t seem to be offering resumable downloads…
Please use the default WordPress post export module from Dashboard Tools Export page to export all downloads. Then import the file in new installation. After that relocate your whole /uploads/download-manager-files directory to your new installation.
There is a setting for the frontend called “When user is not allowed to download: Hide everything”. This doesn’t work for [wpdm-archive cat_view=”sidebar”] , [wpdm-categories] and [wpdm_tree]
I already managed all categories and files with specific rights for every user.
I just don´t want that a normal user with no access for a category or a download can see everything. At this time there is only a restriction, if the normal user gets the message “Login is required to access this page” when i use the shortcode [wpdm-archive cat_view=”sidebar”]
With the shortcode [wpdm-categories] it shows all categries, including all hidden categories wich the normal user shouldn´t see. By normal user i mean an non-logged (unlogged) user with no rights. The access for hidden files work.
The short code [wpdm_tree] has the same problem like [wpdm-categories].
Is there a simple solution to navigate thrugh all the categories with maybe three or four sub-categories and only see the files and categories for the respective user?
On update. The plugin works fine when creating a new file for download. I deleted the plugin and reinstalled, and still the 100+ existing downloads do not recognize the files in the download directory.
Yes, it is possible. It requires some code customization. Go to /download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php file and then replace marked line with following code,
Download Manager doesn’t have the version column is all downloads admin page. But it could be done, requires some code customization. We provide custom upgrade service, if you are interested please mail to customize@wpdownloadmanager.com to get a quote from our customization team.
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.
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.

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)
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.
Also, in the package edit screen, on the Attached Files meta box, we see this error instead of the attached files (French version only – English is OK):
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1480330573 bytes) in /home/cpmr/public_html/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/admin/tpls/metaboxes/attached-files.php on line 22
Found the issue. It is actually not related to browser.
You were trying to download as a guest in Safari. As your downloads are email locked, guest can’t access the download directly. [download_url] tag we used in the template returns the direct download link, but when package is locked it returns #
So if package is locked there is no option but to use [download_link_entended] or [download_link] tag. And no option yet to open in new tab when using these tags.
I have created another link template Moritz Clone. Make you template code similar to it if you want to use email lock in all downloads. You can keep a copy of current Moritz template to use in downloads where you don’t have email lock. It will open files in new tab.
i improved the statistics from the Downloadsection.
Who wants to see:
– How many Downloads in sum for one day or the whole month seperated by users
– How many Downloads from all Users not logged in Users included
Hi,
Downloads are working fine. You set the package access rights only to Singer user role. Any user who doesn’t have Signer role, can’t access the package. After setting All Visitors in allow access field for a package, download worked as usual.
So, you have to set All Visitors in allow access field if you want all user to be able to download files.
