We’ve been using WPDM for over a year and have loved the plugin. We’ve had no problems with it until yesterday when my client called me and said that the individual PDF files were now downloading as txt files. The package files are fine…this just happens with the PDFs.
I have verified it and would like to know if there is a fix? Using the latest version of WP and WPDM 3.8.
TIA
Kevin
Hi,
I bought the pro version of download manager and I try one problem with the users access to downloads. I allow access to download files for admin ands subscribers in a single file and settings but this roles can’t view the link because haven’t access ( they can read ‘Access Denied’ in the button ). I don’t know what is the problem because Administrator for example have all the capabilities and can’t access to download. In sinlge edit I can’t add users to allow access line. I need help with this, thanks 🙂

Hi,
I use Avada 3.8.6, WPDM 4.3.0
In my download section
http://www.plays-in-business.com/downloads/#giveaways
I added the shortcodes for all downloads manually:
[wpdm_package id='3767']
[wpdm_package id='5163']
[wpdm_package id='6527']
[wpdm_package id='6646']
[wpdm_package id='6651']
[wpdm_package id='6667']
Starting with the fourth item, each download displayed is “shifted” to the left. The happens regardless from the packgage listet. I tested this with placing 6 times the same package id in a test installation:

Any ideas?
Thank you
Is there a shortcode to list all my offered downloads on a page?
Currently, I add manually the shortcode for a new package on the download section my site.
I would love to have a shortcode which is placed only one time and I do not have to touch my download section again. Then, when I add new downloads in the WPDM dashboard, my download section shows all the downloads inclusive the new one.
Hi guys,
we have bought the pro version of WPDM and we have some trouble.
We cannot hide complete categories or groups of downloads depending on the user that is logged in.
If we try to hide categories depending on the user group they will still be shown in the frontend even if we login with a user that is not allowed to see this category.
Can anyone you help us out?
Wen need this to finish our project.
Kind regards,
Jan Henning
Hi,
I had an unrealistic large downloads spike yesterday and my hosting company suspended my website because of CPU overusage.
I run foodiesfeed.com and provide there food pictures free to download to anyone. Usually I got around 2 or 3k downloads a day.
However, yesterday and during todays night I had got 100k downloads together even though the traffic was usual which is 950 unique visitors.
Can you please help me to find out what may cause such huge downloads spike? The Siteground customer service told me to disable the plugin logging IP adresses into database. Is that possible?
Also, is it possible to block other people downloading from my website then those who are currently browsing it? So pirates can’t right click the download link, copy it and provide it somewher else other than on my website.
I’m quite misserable.
Kind regards,
Jakub
Dear All,
I am trying to get a help here for the very last time. Is anyone able to resolve this issue finally?
What kind of difficulty prevents you to implement the working LinkedIn lock functionality?
As said, please check the example: http://www.scalatalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=53 where you see a LinkedIn share button and it works.
Why cannot be implemented that mechanism here?
You said already 4 times that this will finally work in the next version… Still doesn’t… 🙁
Anyhow the number of downloads is not increasing as well… And I am on the latest version of download manager as well as appshop theme.
Possible to help me?
Thanks and Best Regards,

Hello,
On our archive page, (and in the widget ‘most downloaded’ and ‘latest downloads’) I’d like the ‘download’ button to actually take people to the file page rather than act as a direct link to the file itself. How can I change this?
Many thanks,
bplumb
For reference – the install failed partially, hence the issue. Resolved.
Hi
I updated to the latest version of WP Download Manager today and it broke an existing custom template. Previously I had [download_link] as a link on the file icon but it now shows two textual links instead of the one intended and has a code leak after the icon “>. (see attachment 1)
For now I’ve replaced the link on the icon to “#” but it would be good if you could have a look and see if I could re-instate the link on the icon so that my templates would look how I want them. (see attachment 2) The template was as follows:-
<div class=”thumbnail”>
<div class=”media”>
[download_link]“>[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>

If that’s all that has gone wrong on the upgrade I can live with it but it would be helpful if you could rectify it as I use this on two sites. It is probably an easy fix.
Thanks in anticipation of your support,

Hello,
So i have a problem when using my theme.
All my downloads look like blog posts. ( with comments etc )
With the old version of download manager i was able to change the template file being used but now i can’t anymore and im wondering how i can change this. 🙂

I did figure it out for Cart page but still not for the normal download page.
Thank you in advance
