When some downloads an email locked packages by providing their email address , that address automatically added to subscriber list. So you just have to enable email lock.
Sir,
WPDM is working well, but I am not understanding how to offer a list of files and only display the list users (not subscribers) who are allowed access. I “think” I can do by category or tag, but can you please supply an example.
Here’s what I want to accomplish – show a list of available downloads using shortcode like so:
[wpdm_package id='2432']
[wpdm_package id='1211']
[wpdm_package id='3759']
[wpdm_package id='4487']
But if user is NOT allowed to see ID=2432, then it does not display. Can you tell me how to best accomplish this?

1. This theme requires Premium Package addon, after activating Premium Package page is loading as usual
2. AppMarket theme has its own custom Page Template, If you use ‘Page template’ , it may repeat same meta data that theme template shows. Let me know if you want to enable ‘Pgae template’. ( just comment out define('WPDM_THEME_SUPPORT', true); line in functions.php file )
3. No option to make those category items like featured items, check out this addon http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/minimax-wordpress-drag-drop-page-builder/ It allows you to build carousel like featured downloads easily.
4. Not sure ( we didn’t test it), please test it yourself.
5. Added comment support in download page
6. Download page does have author box on right sidebar, we shall add tag box in next update
7. It does load, it was same issue as no 1
8. Use languages/appmarket.pot to translate Theme
Thanks.
I have a category called ‘General Downloads’ into which I have uploaded 3 packages.
One of my clients is only allowed to see 2 of these packages (I use WPDM – Custom Access Level to restrict access for them).
However, when they log in and go to the page to see their packages although it shows the 2 packages they are allowed to see, it also shows a blank space where the 3rd package would be. It looks like it is deciding on the number of packages to display BEFORE checking that the user is allowed to view all of them. I’m using the [wpdm_category] shortcode as follows :
[wpdm_category id="general-downloads" operator="IN" title="General Downloads" desc="" item_per_page="10" cols=2 colspad=1 colsphone=1 template="56e88fd5077e6"]
Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?
I attach a screenshot of what I’m seeing.
Hi I just purchased your plugin. I have 2 questions.
1. How do setup a page for users to see all files available to download without asking them to login. I dont want to restrict downloads at all.
2. How can I add a search bar for users to search for documents?
My website is here: http://ankararize.com/work/icma/resource-library/
I set up a page with [wpdm_frontend]
But it’s asking for login
Please help me as soon as you can.
It seems to me that regardless of the WPDM “Page Template” I set for any download item, it still makes use of single.php. I can change the page template in the usual WP way, but at this point, I would have to change it individually for all of my downloads (I see no way to bulk update the page template for downloads).
Am I misunderstanding how this works, or is there a way to work around this, so that all my downloads use a custom page template?
Hi, support.
There is a problem.
My downloads are in the folder “FTP-server”.
When I select a file from the list of FTP, the way it is written as ftp:/FTP-server/example.doc
And when you press “Download”, an empty file is saved as “file-not-found.txt”.
Where could I go wrong with the settings?
If you type the correct path ftp://my_site/FTP-server/example.doc, you can download the file, you if entered ftp login and user password.
If you enter URL in the widget “Attach File” (http://my_site/FTP-server/example.doc), you can download the file.
It’s very large number of files and i don’t want to correct them manually – for this this add-on has been purchased. 🙂
Thank you for your plug-in, I hope you will help to solve my problem.
Please can you advise me how to stop Archive Search from search for everything on the first load? I have over 15000 documents and obviously do not want to display them all.

You need to customize the code directly to get this. You can follow the steps to customize:
You need to copy thetpls dir from download manager plugin dir to active theme dir.
Them rename it copied tpls dir ( which is in your theme dir ) to download-manager
Now edit wpdm-all-downloads.php in download-manager dir ( which is in your active theme dir )

Usually pop-up issue is due to bootstrap present in your theme which may conflict bootstrap in wpdm. Try disabling Bootstrap js with Downloads->Settings->Basic->Misc Settings.
Or You can provide temp login info using private reply to check the issue.
you wrote above
Yes, your can do that using the plugin. Plugin doesn’t have build-in role, you can assign a package to any specific user using this plugin, but role assignment is a core feature of wpdm pro. But advanced access control add-on will give you short-code [wpdm_my_downloads login=1] shortcode, where you will be able to create a login protected page to show users downloads.
I bought the plugin.
My view hasn’t changed at all I still see recommended folders of other users in the dashboard.
Where exactly would I put this [wpdm_my_downloads login=1] in respect to the user?
———
Is there a way to redirect user right into their folder upon logging in but keep the side user menu so they can logout?
Understood – just looking for any insight you might have on why tags work (by slug) but categories (by category ID) do not. Is this a complication of custom post types in general? I have been pulling the category ID by going to the Downloads->Categories menu, selecting a category to edit and then pulling the category ID out of the URL.
For example:
edit-tags.php?action=edit&taxonomy=wpdmcategory&tag_ID=27&post_type=wpdmpro
For that I assume 27 is the category ID, but I get no results when filtering by that ID, so I’m guessing maybe these are not really categories?

I found them in all-downloads.php
Thanks anyway….
Yes you can.
You need to customize according to your requirement
You need to copy the tpls dir from download manager plugin dir to active theme dir.
Them rename it copied tpls dir ( which is in your theme dir ) to download-manager
Now edit wpdm-all-downloads.php file according to your customization in download-manager dir ( which is in your active theme dir )
All those test are already in .po file, please find Display _MENU_ downloads per page
As I have tried different configurations to try and get the plugin working as I think it should, I have come across a few problems within it.
With the WP Dashboard and Downloads menu there is an option to view ‘Add-ons’, when selected I get this error
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 39583744) (tried to allocate 20 bytes) in /———–/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/admin/menus/class.Addons.php on line 37
In the templates area, the guide down the right gives a shortcode of ‘[gallery_WxH]’, I have tried to use this and it doesn’t work.
Also on the template page there is an option to add a featured image to the download page at the size you want. e.g at 250px width, this works OK in MS Edge browser, but all others still display the image at the upload size, so the page rendering is all out of sync.
Too many errors for a paid application IMHO, hopefully you will sort them soon :(((
This is because for access restriction.
Check wp-admin► Downloads ► All files(Edit)/Add file ► Package Settings ► Allow Access
I am failing HTML and accessibility validators due to the file icons not having appropriate alt tags.
Is there a way to have them automatically generated?
Sample template…
<div class=”thumbnail”>
<div class=”media”>
[icon]
<div class=”media-body”>
<h4 class=”media-heading”>[download_link]</h4>
<span class=”ggdm-icon”><i class=”fa fa-th-large”></i> [file_size]</span>
<span class=”ggdm-icon2″><i class=”fa fa-download”></i>[download_count]downloads</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Hi
Is there a way that i can search for documents, then select all search results and download with a single click? without having to download each document separately?
Thanks
Hi,
it worked with the parameter name, thanks!
Small question: Our site is multilingual and we have downloads for every language in a separate category. I’ve translated the search result page but the results are still in the main language, in whatever language i search.
what is the right way to solve this?
thanks
Hi – I have just set this up and cant get the download to work. I have a 2.3gb zip file uploaded on Amazon S3, and I am using the S3 plugin. I can locate the S3 file fine when I am creating a new download in WPDM – however when I try and download it on the live site – for some reason it downloads a copy of my File Browser Root folders instead of the 2.3gb zip – it does this everytime – regardless of what I attach from S3 – and it always claims the file size to be only 4kb
Interestingly I have a small blue question mark next to my File Browser Root in settings – not sure if this is anyway connected – please help!!! Thanks Steve
thank you Shaon.
2 more questions:
What login=1 means in this short code:
[wpdm_my_downloads login=1 template=”link-template-calltoaction3″ cols=”2″]
?
Is it possible the have the packages sorted by name?
