Do you use any other plugin to show this page(https://plural.wpengine.com/downloads/pdf-test-front-preview/) only to logged in user?
First of all, I have tested all way, in the package setting the package is visible to all visitor. but it seems like without login the page is not accessible, it redirects to login page.
Do you have any PHP error log on the server?
There is a security access which checks the admin role to load the pdf file maybe.
Thanks
Hey,
I attached three files.
- Categories-view.jpg: You can see the view of the categories. I did this by the following tag
[wpdm-categories cols=4]
- List-of-categories.jpg: These are the categories you can see in the first screenshot but defined in the backend
- List-of-files-in-category.jpg: If you click on one category as you see in the first screenshot, you get a list of all files in that category
What I want to change is that template of the List-of-files-in-category.jpg screenshot. As described in the posts before, I was able to change this template by adding a file archive.php into the active-template-folder. But this is not pretty nice, as the archive.php is been used by wordpress also for other pages.
In this view I need:
- The menu item DOWNLOADS needs to be colored in black as it is still the active navigation point, but even if the URL is
/downloads/hotfixes-und-patches/, in the menu the navigation point is not set as active one
- On that page there should be a headline with the name of the category, where files belong to. (In this case it would be Hotfixes and Patches)
I hope my problems are clear now and you are able to help me.
Thanks!
When someone is adding a package from frontend, he/she must select the value for “Allow Access” field:
https://www.evernote.com/l/AV1HzvCYt1JBBKe3QnqCS5BKuUUzB256eF0B/image.png
I created the following package from frontend and it is working fine:
https://plural.wpengine.com/downloads/test-frontend-pack/
Sorted. Thanks.
A quick observation – it would be great if in the downloads area it showed you the domain against each product. When you’ve a few managing licenses and renewals becomes a bit of a pain. I’ve seen somewhere else do that really well and it’s very helpful (WP Rocket I think).
Anyways, sorted. Many thanks again.

Hi there,
I’ve tested with different browsers but all the downloads are functional. If there any specific php error for chrome on OS X available, can you give us from error log?
Thanks
Hi everyone.
I imported a lot of files with bulk import, and now I see that all user can access to this files with the link (when the site have to show the login form.)
In the settings I selected File Browser Access only for register user.
I need to hide the downloads!
I have more of 400 file uploaded.
Can i restrict the packages to all the visitors?
Thanks
I can’t give you a login because the server is private, so even if you had credentials, the development website is still inaccessible to the public.
And Shahriar, unlocking all downloads with one form submission would be nice, but I found a work-around that suits my needs.
I changed the link-template to one that only has the link to the designated download page of the file. Then, I changed that page template to a custom one I made that only shows the extended download link. Since Form Lock is on, this is replaced with the form, so it looks like the page redirected to the form, but is actually on the package page. Filling out the form and clicking “Submit” shows the direct download link as I wanted it to.
Thank you guys for all of your help! Bouncing some ideas off of you helped me figure-out this clean work-around 🙂
Hello,
When using the download all files link ” [download_link] ” in a page template, it downloads an empty package.
It returns a rar of 0kb.

Kind regards,

Hi,
Please update the WordPress to the latest version. And I have tested your package downloads. All working fine. But you are getting download-not-available error in which package the file is not available.

Thanks
Hi,
It is not possible yet to use only one form to unlock all downloads. But we will look into it.
Thanks.
I’m currently migrating a site from Joomla to WordPress and looking to replace docMAN with WP Download Manager.
Going ok so far although I think I’ve discovered an incompatibility between the theme I’m using (RocketTheme Callisto) and WP Download Manager
On this page ( http://test.airleague.com.au/download-category/downloads/) if you click on the the link in the centre of the page – the page it takes you to is blank http://test.airleague.com.au/download/nsw-boys-group-review-digest-2017/
However – if I switch themes I see the page.
Feedback greatly appreciated
Regards,
Brian
there is a method for make a backup of my downloads? i want to remove the plug-in and then reinstall it
You think that maybe the solution?
All package table has the search feature and you can also use WPDM Search widget. Directory Add-on just extends the feature and has various ways to show, search, filter downloads. Ultimately it’s your choice if you want to buy it or not. I just showed a different option for you as you didn’t like the all packages table search.
Hi Hasibul and thanks for your reply.
The URL aren’t the same?! The one abowe has a dashes… Is it not enough?
Compare: http://195.238.77.215/~kavlingelarcen/ladda-ner/ vs http://195.238.77.215/~kavlingelarcen/laddaner/
Ok, I don’t think the customers understand we shall click the link a the right… Is there a way to make (in my chase TEST) download directly? Or REMOVE the link so it’s only the link at the right that i clickable??
I’m now familiar with php, but if I change the table template, can I do it right here ../download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php ??
It will not be overwritten when updating?
I saw your category base and package base was the same?
There is a quate above. “Caution: Use unique word for each url base. Also, don’t create any page or post with the same slug you used for WPDM URL Bases below.”
Please modify it.
So category page will be work here http://195.238.77.215/~kavlingelarcen/laddaners/instruktioner/
And yes, the user can download from that page not going the package details page from this page. Here is the button for direct download.

But if the user can see details page by clicking on the title. You can modify that too from all downloads table template here ../download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php
Thanks
Hi,
You can list all your download package by using [wpdm_all_packages] shortcode. Details Here.
Thanks.
Hi,
You can format the page with the template file describe here (https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/).
And you need to
Create a dir named download-manager inside your active theme dir
Copy wpdm-all-downloads.php from plugins/download-manager/tpls/ dir to the dir you created in step #1
Now you can edit copied wpdm-all-downloads.php the way you want.
The process is to keep your changes even after updating the plugin.

Hi,
I checked the page downloads. All files are downloadable.
Thanks
Hello all,
Thank you for the great plugin! I was working with the free version, but have since purchased WPDM Pro v4.7 and the Form Lock add-on last week to add more features. I want to lock my downloads with a form I created with the Formidable Forms plugin.
They both installed and activated with no issue, but once I check-off “Enable Form Lock,” pick the form, and update, any page with the page-template or link-template to that specific download breaks. The effect is that only the header and navigation bar shows up, and the HTML abruptly stops right before the first <div class="w3eden"> tag would appear. When I unchecked the option, everything is back to normal.
I have provided more info about my setup below. Also, I won’t be able to give you wp-admin access because the setup is on a local server. Any advice is greatly appreciated! 🙂
Server Configuration
Windows Server 2016
Internet Information Services Version 10.0.14393.0
PHP 7.1.7
MySQL Community Server 5.7
WordPress 4.9.1
Other plugins/themes currently active
WPDM TinyMCE Button
WP Mail Logging 1.8.3
Bridge Theme 13.1.1 (what follows are required by Bridge/Envato Market)
– WPBakery Page Builder (Visual Composer) 5.4.5
– LayerSlider WP 6.6.4
– Slider Revolution 5.4.6.3.1
– Envato Market 1.0.0
– Envato WordPress Toolkit 1.7.3
P.S. I have the same problem using the standard Twenty Seventeen Theme, so I don’t believe the Bridge Theme and its hoopla are causing it.
Hi,
You can just modify the existing template file and puts it in your theme folder/tpls. The filename for the shortcode is wpdm-all-downloads.php, you can find it in plugins/download-manager/tpls.
Thanks
Every now and then, my WPDM Accordion stops working on my site. Instead of the files, it will either show a -1 in Chrome or a spinner in Firefox (see screenshot). Manually clearing the cache resolves the issue but it is frustrating for our users who have to contact me to get it working. What causes this to happen?
Also, do you offer a way to allow people to resume downloads in the browser if the downloads get interrupted?
Hi there,
From the Downloads -> Settings you can enable login at the single package page.

And you need to change the Allow Access option to subscriber from single package settings section for showing the package only the login members.

Here is the single package with login:

Thanks
