Please help resolve this:

I have configured my sites membership, login screens, roles, permissions on all pages, etc. with the UltimateMember plugin for WordPress on a clients site. I just purchased WPDownloadManager so that they could manage their downloads. Now suddenly they can’t manage their profile pics, etc due to WPDownloadManager wrangling control of the $FILES array…
That forum post discusses the issues and how there is nothing that UltimateMember can do from their side to correct this issue only WPDownloadManager can. I recognize that WPDownloadManager apparently has some sort of member control option as well. But I am a user of both and unless WPDownloadManager wants to reconfigure my clients entire membership site to use WPDownloadManager, then I really just need an update that corrects the issue.
Just to quickly outline the problem as they have researched and discovered it to be…
“Today, my tester team reported me that they could not update his cover and profile photos, the screen froze without load the images. We were thinking what was changed and we remembered that the plugin “WordPress Download Manager” was installed a few hours early. We deactivate the plugin and now the profiles and cover photos can be changed without issue.”
They go on to begin debugging the issue and here is what they find.
Ok after more than hour of debugging. The plugin “Download Manager” causes our $_FILES array to always return empty, so no uploads can be processed (ajax-based).
So please, If you want this resolved, contact the plugin author to fix this conflict, as I can’t do anything to override it from our code. Please understand that not all conflicts can be resolved by editing the plugin code, and some conflicts require the other plugins author attention. So please bring this to their attention as well.
The file that needs $_FILES array access is lib/upload/um-image-upload.php
When that plugin is active, that array is always empty (Which is not true) but works fine when plugin is inactive.
They then go on to make a great point that…
I also want to add that when such conflicts occur, it involves two plugins and not just one plugin. So it’d be fair enough to request support/fix from the other plugin if it is the one creating the conflict ( as in this situation ) – We try our best to be compatible with other plugins if we can override settings or do the fix from our code, but other plugins need to do the same too.
Then they provide ONE MORE clarification of the issue…
If you need information to speed up debugging, here’s the reason why uploads not working in UM:
The $_FILES array is always empty when we try to access them in core/lib/upload/um-image-upload.php file to process uploaded files in ajax.
I have a client ready to go live but we can’t if they can’t utilize the membership plugin they have because of this conflict. Can someone let me know what can be done about this issue? And what kind of time frame we might all be looking at?
Thank you
Hi I have installed Download Manager Pro in a fresh wordpress 4.2.2 installation with Twenty fourteen theme and WordPress Download Manager Pro is not working at all. I can not download, when I click in the download (http://apoyomutuo.org/descarga/servicios-publicos-en-el-estado-del-malestar ) button it doesn’t anything.
At start the download page shows me the following js error:
“NetworkError: 404 Not Found – http://apoyomutuo.org/descarga/servicios-publicos-en-el-estado-del-malestar/index.php?_nonce=65fe78519a&id=15”
What is happening? What can I do?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
What would be the best way to create a breadcrum for the packages/downloads.
For instance
I’ve got a Category_page that has several packages.
I would like to create a breadcrum on top of each page.
It should read something like this:
Frequently Asked Questions > Hardware > Question 1
Frequently Asked Questions (Main Page) > Hardware (Category) > Question 1 (Package)
It probably won’t work with standard breadcrum plugins because the URL is usually something like: http://domain.com/downloads/question1
Could I create a html structure, where I use the shortcode [title] (of the package)
This would mean the following:
Frequently Asked Questions > [category_name] > [title]
Thank you!
Hi I am using the all downloads table shortcode.
How I can I edit it to make the newest downloads display at the top?
Thanks
Hey,
I’ve customized the plugin to automatically create thumbnail images for every file uploaded using ImageMagick. I’ve changed the Directory addon to display those thumbnail instead of icons. However, there is one last thing I need to do which I can’t quite figure out. I’d like to change the code for the [thumb_XxX] shortcode to automatically pull the first downloads thumbnail image.
Which file and line is the code located and how can I access the downloads for the package?
I would like to manually add a custom field to the all download table.
I am able to add the WordPress custom fields but not the ones added via the WPDM Advanced Custom Fields.
I have checked the post meta database and the WPDM Advanced Custom Fields are not included.
Please can you advise what the best solution is.
Thank you.
Great plugin btw.
Hello and thanks in advance for your help
I just purchased Download Manager Pro. What I would like to do is have a single page that contains four categories of downloads: Case Studies. White Papers and E Books.
I want to to create a page with those three categories and as I add content and associate it with a category, I want it to appear.
For each item, I would like to show the fill excerpt about the package and not show the size or number of downloads.
Also, I have hundreds of subscibers to my blog, and I want to find the easiest way to give them access. I also want to make it wasy for non subscribers to have the option of just entering their e mail address ( where if this all works I will buy the mailchimp plugin) and they get sent an e mail that they are now registered.
I am willing to pay someone to help me pull this together, if it cant be done via forum posts.
Thanks again for the help
Dave
