Search Results for 'all downloads'

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

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.

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. 🙂

-edit
I did figure it out for Cart page but still not for the normal download page.

Thank you in advance

1. I want a single page listing all of the downloads.
2. The page should ask for a password, email address, and name. Once it has that information, anything on the page should be allowed to be downloaded.
3. The email address needs to be added to a list, possibly in Mailchimp or aweber
4. I’d really like the email address to be added to a list which sends out a nag message once a week that they need to review the books they downloaded.
5. PDF stamp should be added to each download with the name and the word “Confidential review copy” stamped
6. For EACH download they ask for, an email needs to be sent to them with the URL of the download,  the URL of the amazon page for the book, and instructions. The nag messages should do the same.

Can this product do this?

I have set up a temporary admin account. Please let me know how to send the username/password to your support.

I have a new installation of WPDM and this is the first time I have used it. I may be doing something wrong but even if I just use the defaults and upload a single pdf file, I can’t get it to display the page. I am getting a 404 error: Page Not Found Error.

If I add the shortcode ie [wpdm_package id='12345'] in a page I know works, then I do get a link. It works, downloads instantly and the counter works but all the rest of the functionality like email lock etc, does not function

My version of WordPress is 4.3.0 and I am using the Canvas theme.

I would appreciate any help you could give me.

In a pre-sale question I specifically asked if the WordPress download manager plugin could allow visitors to a website that was utilizing this plugin if the visitor could download multiple documents at once.  Basically designating what documents they’d want to download and then click “download” or something similar and have them all download at once, saving the website visitor time and effort.  I was told this function was available with your plugin.  Please explain in DETAIL how to make this function work with your plugin.  we have been doing a lot of trial and error with your plugin, and the support and documentation is very limited, and have yet to figure out how this feature works in your plugin as you had promised it was capable of.

It is months later after i asked to put language strings for words in directory addon – and those still not working. What’s the point of having those, if they are not working?

It’s really inconvenient to modify php/js files everytime after update.

Please, fix this asap.

btw. same goes for strings in downloads list, there’s no effect after translating “order by”, “asc”, “desc” strings – it’s really supposed to be fixed with latest release, which was promised months ago.

I want to create a single page which lists all of the downloads available at the /download/ folder. This should allow anyone who gets to that page, which I need to be password protected, to click a line to download the file.

Is there an automatic way to create such a page?

Thanks, Richard

Hello,

I have an issue with changing the download file URLS.

All my files (Over 3500 of them) are stored on an external server, and so, I add packages by adding URLS.

The problem I have now is that I want to change these URLS periodically to prevent sharing misuse and to save bandwidth.

I have seen that everything seems to be saved in the postmeta file in the DB. Now, when I update all of the links via the postmeta, reupload the file. The download packages no longer work. The postmeta now holds the updated URLS, but when I go to each package (“Downloads; All Packages; Package 001” etc) The attached file still shows the old URL.

How do ensure that it updates to the new ones? Is there another DB file it uses that I’m missing here?

Many thanks
