I had to restore our website after updating this plugin as all document downloads disappeared. Please can you advise how to update while avoiding a recurrence of this.
Maybe the package was accessible to all visitors when those downloads were served. If you see any recent entry check the package setting for access rules and let me know.
Hi,
I want to access my subcategories on mobile device. But with this layout it doesn’t work.
For example, when I click on the category Snchronous motor and then Documentation, http://bit.ly/2Bbkwb1 it redirects me to the downloads with the category documentation. But what I’d need is another link opening and displaying the sub-sub-category. Any ideas?
I can only access sublevel 2.
My categories look like that:
– Synchronmotor (cat. 1)
— CAD Synchronmotor (subcat. 2) https://imgur.com/vEmbL7X
—Baugröße 72 (subcat. 3) https://imgur.com/Ch6TjmF
I can’t access subcat. 3
If I click subcat. 2 to see subcat. 3 it automatically redirects me into the subcat. 2 and I am not able to see subcat 3. (I hope this isn’t too confusing)
this is my code: [wpdm-archive button_style=”inverse” link_template=”5a2eab1be1d38″ items_per_page=”10″ category=”category-slug” category_view=”sidebar” order_by=”field-name” order=”asc or desc”]
Hi,
I cannot find any help in setting up Social Settings. I want to be able to share downloads using Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter especially but no explanation of what to do.
But the package view in category archive page in controlled by your theme. You can partially control this from Downloads Settings Frontend Category Page Options panel.
Hi, I have a site in more than one language. All the downloads in this site are allow only at administrator, so i need the login string in two languages and two has to be the login and registration page, and so on.
[wpdm_category id="Category Slug(s)" operator="IN" title="Custom Title Here or 1" desc="Custom Description or 1" toolbar="1" paging="1" order_by="field name" order="asc or desc" item_per_page="10" template="template name or ID" cols=4 colspad=2 colsphone=1]
Follow the shortcode. In order_by you can set various values like: order_by: field name to sort packages, you can sort by title, download_count, create_date, modified ( update date ) or id, it’s an optional parameter, if you skip this parameter “id” will be taken as default.
okay but i think you are missing what i want to do. I just want to capture name and email address and load the page with the different versions. Email lock will not load the page and make the download button active, it just emails them or downloads ALL The documents. I need the page to load so they can choose what version they want to actually download.
Set allow access to ‘All Visitors’ in your package settings to allow downloads without registration. You will find the package settings meta box in edit package screen.
This post is part of the Downloads category ‘Persoonlijke bestanden’ which we’ve declared in the category settings for your plugin should not be accessible to ‘all visitors’ and subsequently only to the roles ‘subscriber’ and up. Even though the page/download I linked to is only part of this category and no other, it is still accessible.
I’m guessing the accessiblity setting is being overridden by a post-specific setting which I cannot update in bulk, but I’m not sure and that wouldn’t be a sollution, since it’s not updatable in bulk.
I’ve tried to restrict access to all downloads in a certain category. I’ve done so because this appears to be the only way to restrict access to a whole bunch of downloads in on bulk action.
However, it seems that, whatever I say about the restricted access for posts under a certain category, they all remain visible for all visitors. Can you help me figure out why this is, or how I can best restrict access in bulk actions?
I want to modify my login form but i do not get it.
I modified the file wpdm-login-form.php and put it in the folder “/www/wp-content/themes/Avada/download-manager” of my website but when i refresh my web on my [wpdm_login_form] page but I do not see the changes.
I have made changes to the following files: wpdm-all-downloads.php, wpdm-ashboard.php and page-template-default.php to customize them, I put it in the folder “/www/wp-content/themes/Avada/download-manager” and it works perfectly but with the login page I don’t get it.
I have also modified the file “wpdm-be-member.php” because I’ve seen in the code that it includes the login form code but it has not worked either.
What can I do?
How can I modify the page?
I want to customize the appearance of these two parts within the registration page (registration form and notice that you are already registered).
I’ve an issue with a site (http://www.statiflo.com/downloads) where WPDM just stops working such that the shortcode is then revealed, and I have to install the plugin again (tbh I’ve not checked if the folder itself disappears), There definitely isn’t an user/admin intervention. Could you advise?
I recently changed servers and now any time someone clicks on a package to download it gives a file not found.txt in its place. I have tried re-uploading the files as well as uploading a new one. All of them give the same file not found.txt file instead of the uploaded file. I have checked the downloads folder and all of the files are there and are being uploaded properly.
I’m back on this forum for another question, there is actually a widget for TOP 5 or whatever number we want,
but i couldn’t find how to display this top somewhere else, like in a page or an article.
Is this even possible?
As i would like to make a TOP 50, but it would take so much vertical space in a widget menu!
1 )If you want users to register before download then allow downloads only to ‘Subscribers’ role in Package Settings Allow access option. If someone is not a subscriber they can only see the posts. But won’t have access to download.
2 ) Maybe you are confusing the email lock feature with the subscriber access. Email lock doesn’t require registration, a guest can download the file by submitting their email address. All collected email addresses are listed on Downloads Subscribers page. Option (1) is the better choice for you.
