In reply to: Frontend download page?
Hi,
You can read detailed documentation here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/docsfor/download-manager-pro/
There are multiple ways to show downloads in frontend. It depends on your requirement, please check all shortcodes here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/ and use the one you need.
For example,
[wpdm_all_packages]shows all your downloads in a table.In reply to: subscribers is empty
Hi Christian,
Did you apply email lock in your downloads? Subscribers list show all emails captured by email lock feature. It doesn’t show your WordPress users with subscriber role.
Thanks.
Topic: Frontend download page?
Hi there,
I can’t find any information on how to actually implement this plugin. How do I specify which pages the downloads show on? Is there a way to have the downloads appear on my home page/blog post page?
In reply to: PayPal Setup?
“Premium Package” converts to store. Please go to downloads-> all files/ add new -> Package Settings, you will get the options for adding prices and discounts.
Hopefully I could help you.
Thanks for your co-operation.In reply to: Form lock issue
In reply to: Error when downloading file after update
Hi,
Thanks for your patience.
The downloads are working just fine, WP Super Cache plugin in causing the problem. As all downloads via our plugin are done via a GET request. So I checked the option: ‘Don’t cache pages with GET parameters. (?x=y at the end of a url)’ and the downloads are working again.
or You can try using w3 total cache http://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/ insteadThank you

In reply to: Download Settings
Hi there,
I can see you dint change “Allow access” in file. You need to set Allow Access = “” or specific user roles you want to allow access.
Check wp-admin► Downloads ► All files(Edit)/Add file ► Package Settings ► Allow Access.I hope this solves your issue.
Thank you.In reply to: select by category
Yes, you can. Use category shortcode for that. Install TinyMCE addon to insert shortcode easily.
In reply to: Social Media Locks Problem
Just an update to this…
I have so far deleted the package and recreated it. I have used upload, URL and file browser to the file. I have renamed the file. I have deactivated all my plugins, I have updated all plugins, themes etc. I have deatcivated the Download Manager plugin. I have regenerated the download key. I have cleared the cache – still it is not working.
The LinkedIn button remains blank when you hover over it and the Twitter Follow just downloads a text file which I have attached.
This is happening on ALL of our downloads.
This is now causing us very serioud problems and needs resolving ASAP.
In reply to: Hiding individual package download pages
Hi there,
Probably you can do that by setting access option somehow, you need to set Allow Access = “user-role” or specific user roles you want to allow access.
Check wp-admin► Downloads ► All files(Edit)/Add file ► Package Settings ► Allow Access
Thank youI’ve installed v.4.5.6 and the migration tool, but i don’t see any downloads in the migrate tab. What i’m doing wrong?
Topic: Archiving but still showing
I am using the pro version to build a download area for a tech customer. They will not have a high volume of downloads (right now) but over time that will increase.
Here is the current page:
https://www.knupath.com/support/ (only registered customers who have signed an NDA can actually download)
As you can see, they have a May release and an August release. This is marginally workable right now (this is how they want it laid out) but down the road it will become unmanageable.
I would like to be able to either create a new metadata item called “release_version” that I can filter on “current” or “archive” in order to group all of the current releases at the top of the page. Currently I use three statements to build out the 3 category lists on the page:
[wpdm_category id="releases" operator="IN" title="Releases" toolbar="1" template="57a8ed44855d6" cols=1 colspad=1 colsphone=1]
Ideally I would like to add a filter like release_version=current onto the statement, in order to filter out only the files that I want at the top.
Is there any way to do this easily? I can see how to create a custom field, but don’t understand the nomenclature for filtering.

Hi Shahriar,
A few things to add for your consideration….
re: ZIP files
It occurred to me that your tests involve creating a multi-file package and testing the download/unzip. Since we rarely have a multi-file package, this isn’t an appropriate test of our issue with zip files. What we typically have is existing zip files, which we upload as a single item for users to download.I created another test package, which you can see here: http://test.nrocnetwork.org/resources/downloads/test-zip/
This one is a multi-file package, created via the “Attach Directory” function. All of the files in the root directory download just fine over FTP. However….
When downloaded individually (they are .doc files), MSWord pops up a dialog asking what format to convert them from (and it defaults to Unicode). See attached screenshot for how the file looks when Word tries to convert it.
When I unzip this file using Mac’s default app, it turns into a CPGZ file. I read up on that, and learned:
Why this happens isn’t always completely clear, but it can be indicative of a few things:
– Corrupted file, either during download or from origin
– Incomplete download, stopped at 99% done or similar
– Certain web browsers mishandling a file during or after the download process
– A bugThe files are not being stopped at 99% – I am letting them download completely.
I have tested in both Firefox and Chrome, with identical results.So that leaves a bug or a corrupted file. If it’s corrupted, it must be “during download” because I have proven repeatedly that the files are fine at their point of origin.
I hope this helps to point us in the direction of a solution. I am obviously not the only one experiencing this problem.
(Please note that it is not a “solution” to expect end users to download special programs like Keka or the Unarchiver (as recommended in the article) to unzip files. The downloads from WPDM must work with both Mac and Windows default archive utilities (which most of my end users will be using), or I may as well post up plain .zip files for them to download.)
Thank you for your attention to this problem. 🙂
In reply to: Download files are corrupt
Hi Shahriar,
Thanks for protecting that screenshot in your last reply 🙂 We are dealing with some sensitive information on our site.
I have been testing a lot. Still, I get corrupted files when I download them through WPDM, but if I download direct from the server (via SFTP) they work fine in their default programs.
What program did you use to open the file you tested in that screenshot? It does not look like Excel to me. Maybe you are getting different results because you’re not using Excel. An XLSX file is basically an XML file (whereas XLS is binary), so it’s probably compatible with some programs that emulate (like Mac Preview). However, our end users need our files to work in Excel, where they were originally created.
Here is a test I have tried a couple times, with the same results:
I created a new package: http://test.nrocnetwork.org/resources/downloads/test-goal-assessment-workbook/ with an attached file in XLSX format.
– I downloaded it out of the /download-manager-files/ directory via FTP and it opened up in Excel without a problem, so I know it is not corrupt or broken.
– I uploaded it to the package using the WPDM interface.
– Immediately after upload, I went to FTP and downloaded it, then opened in Excel. It’s still fine.
Next, I used the WPDM web interface to download the file: http://test.nrocnetwork.org/resources/downloads/test-goal-assessment-workbook/
When I try to open the newly downloaded file in Excel, I get the error message in the attached screenshot.
In reply to: Slow loading per package
You will create multiple package and assign same category to same kind of files/package. Then you can use category shortcode to show those packages using pagination.
Btw, use TinyMCE addon to insert shortcode easily.
Everything was working fine, then all of a sudden the user dashboard stopped tracking downloads. Any idea what the issue could be?
In reply to: Data table doesn't sort
Atm I just have this
[wpdm-all-packages items_per_page=15 jstable=0 ]Now it’s not possible anymore to sort them at all and there also isnt a search bar anymore. But I don’t have that much downloads so it’s ok for what I have. And then it’s sorted the way I added them.
It’s not really a sollution tho. but it’s better then nothing 🙂
In reply to: WP-PRO-MEMBERSHIP // Content managment
After creating groups and set price, you can assign downloads to any of those groups when you creating/editing a package. To control uploads, you need to user native WordPress role. Pro membership addon only controls download. From Admin Menu Downloads Settings Front-end tab you, you can select role to allow file upload from front-end, in admin side author or upper level role will be able to create package.
Hi I am modifying the PHP file wpdm-all-downloads.php (=all packages responsive list) and putting it in our child theme:
I have tried to change Create date
<?php echo get_the_date(); ?>
to Latest change/update/save date
<?php echo get_the_update_date(); ?>
but that code did not work at all…What code should I use??
In reply to: Page Details is not opened
Hello Shahriar,
unfortunately, the issue is still open.
After preparing the link template code from home, I see the same behavior from my office PC, even a website shouldn’t be concerned by this.On the page “https://silicon.software/know-how/download/” the tab “download overview” shows the correct page template, clicking “view details”.
Using the tabs “recent downloads” and “search downloads”, the [page_url] tag works self-referring and shows the download page, but not the detail page.
Is there a setting for page_url?
I am using “default values” and updated all link to the current link and page templates.
I was also using [popup_link] with the same effect.Thanks in advance fr your help,
MichaelP.S. Let me know, if I should reactivate the temp login.
you won’t need to use save settings button in that page, if server’s files and dir access permission allows it to install plugins/add-on, it will be executed properly when you click on install/update button.
Also you can download free add-ons from here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/downloads/free-add-ons/ and install
And premium plugin and add-ons from here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/purchases/
I downloaded the premium plugin and input my key. As seen in the plugin, I clicked to install the plugin, got a success message, and when I click save/reload, it prompts me to install again. I can’t access the features I paid for?
Additonally, how do I create a downloads page with listing of categories? I can’t find the right shortcodes in your documentation. Thanks.
1. Problem: I have WPDM v4.5.5. Unable to install latest update v.4.5.6 no matter how many times I tried.
2. Problem: When user downloads my software, he gets a download link email. I’m unable to customize this email even though I located where the email templates were in WPDM. The previous coder configured the first one but I cannot find it anywhere to customize it further.
3. Problem: To disallow robots to download my software, I activated the inbuilt reCAPTCHA through Google before a download can be initiated. When I click on “I’m not a robot”. it starts to load but hangs.
