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?
It is because amp removes all javascript. So, you need replace [download_link] with <a href="[download_url]">[link_label]</a>, but only public downloads will work there.
Not sure which template is using by which package, you need to create a page template as per your need from Admin Menu Downloads Templates, and you can use this add-on http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-default-values/ to apply the template for all package in a single click.

We are using the wdpm-archive add-on. We upgraded to downloadmanager 4.5.4 and updated the add-on as well. It is showing as 2.8.1. When we load a page with the following shortcode, we get an internal server error 500. If you choose a category, it works fine. It seems to only be an issue when loading all the packages in a paged view. I also tried the [wpdm_all_packages] short code and it works fine.

[wpdm-archive button_style=”default” cat_view=”compact”]
Console error message:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error) http://ghpc.dev.gsu.edu/?wpdmtask=get_downloads&pg=30&category=0

I want to have all my downloads free, with the option of paying $1-5 as a donation that goes through the checkout. However if I make the base price $0.00 with variants for $1-5 it just lets them download it immediately.
To fix the problem i had to change the path of icon:
This is default path that the download manager give to me and i can’t see icon on articles page.
//tv247.altervista.org/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/assets/file-type-icons/down2.png
If I modify the path like that:
download-manager/assets/file-type-icons/down2.png
With that changes I can see the icon on articles pages BUT i can’t see the icons in the menu: Downloads -> All files
why? Coul you fix this issue?
Hi when trying to add downloads to the packages list, I find the following errors coming up on an intermittent basis when filling out the post with details.
The problem is the plugin downloads manager as I have posted the error on the theme author who cannot recreate the error, If I deactivate the plugin the errors stop as I am now longer am adding uploads.
Please find some screen shots
@shahirar Unfortunately, the download doesn’t work at all for me.
Whenever I try to download it downloads a “file-not-found.txt” file.
As for now, I can’t use download manager anymore. Can you come up with a quick fix for me? This is very annoying for my client.
Regards,
It is becuase you didn’t set any message from wdpm settings when item is not available for download. Showing missing image, as you didn’t attach featured image. However there are other page template to hide the image totally when not available, also you can build your own page template easily from Downloads Templates. Doc: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/
Anyhow please give me temporary wp-admin login info in a private reply if you want me to set it up there for you.
