In reply to: Need to have a dropbox/google drive future
Hi,
You can use Dropbox add-on to attach files from Dropbox.
But to restrict downloads user sign up is required. Otherwise, files will be accessible by all users as there is no way to classify guest users.
Your best option is using WPDM Pro with Advanced Access Control add-on. You can assign downloads to a specific user using AAC add-on.
Let me know if you have any question.
Regards,
Shahriar
In reply to: User permissions
Migrating from flywheel staging “magnasphere.flywheelsites.com” to godaddy web hosting for production website “magnasphere.com”.
Steps Attempted:
Cloning with managewp.com
Manual database migration, sql query to change the urls and server document_root file path.
Migrating database with migrate-db.All these steps have yielded in the same result: all the links break and says “downloads not available”, yet files are present in the uploads folder.
Topic: User permissions
We have a few additional user roles within our WP setup. This role isn’t recognised by Download Manager, so as a result, these users can’t upload new downloads.
They get the error attached – unauthorized access.
Does anyone know how to allow additional roles to upload files?
Cheers,

Hi,
If you are using category shortcode, no option available there to filter packages by category. You can just show packages from one or more categories. All packages shortcode has category filtering option.
If you want more advanced option you need Directory Addon. Please check the add-on demo here https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-default/
Thanks.

Hi,
The shortcode should work fine. Create a new page and name it my downloads. Then put the all packages shortcode there.
If still having 404 issue send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply.
Thanks.
It will be a miracle if you respond to this support request in this forum. So far, I get responses on 1 out of 5 issues.
Here’s our site: http://catholicschoolsphx.org/downloads/
We have purchased WP Download Manager Pro, and have also purchased the WPDM Archive add-on that allow us to use the Advanced Search. When we deployed our work to our production website today, the Advanced Search no longer works. These are the errors:
– The calendar does not work.
– The sliders on the view count and package size do not appear.
– The categories are missing.
– The sort order doesn’t work.I have tried the following and the problems persist:
– I made a new page, and used TinyMCE to insert another Advanced Search.
– I deactivated and then activated each of the WPDM plugins.Please advise.
Topic: Email lock Download problem
Hello,
I bought the pro version there is a week to use the Email Lock for control the data sheets downloads on my woocommerce website.
I made a download test with the Email Lock on your demo website and it worked perfectly but when I tried to do it on my own website it didn’t worked at all.First there is no text area to fill with the name and the email and then when I click on the download link the page is just going up without doing anything else.
Do you have any solutions to fix it ?
Best regards,
Arnaud HervieuxIn reply to: Rename the file while downloading
Hi,
by adding the above code, it only downloads the manually uploaded packages with the title. However if we import using csv file, it does not applies on that, it gets downloaded by the file name itself instated if package title. by checking we found that when we upload a package manually the there is a section where where it shows the pdf file name, however by importing by csv its does not shows the filename there. Or may be any other issue would be there. Can you please help us identifying the issue.

Topic: Downloads page
Hi,
I can’t find how to show all categories and downloads in a downloads page. I mean something like an indes from all downloads born (misite.com/downloads).
I tryed creating a page and adding the next shortcode but i receive a 404 error:
[wpdm_all_packages]
Could you help me please? Should I add this new page to any place on settings?
Best Regards
In reply to: list all files in one page(step by step :) )
This demo page is coming from the Crypton theme. We applied link template panel there in a customized layout. So, in your shortcode, you can use link template panel.
Insert your shortcodes using TinyMCE add-on. It has intuitive UI and you don’t have to memorize shortcodes.
To show all downloads in a page you can use
[wpdm-all-packages jstable=1]shortcode. It shows a table like this one https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/package-list-in-responsive-table/Let me know if you have any other query.
You have to edit
/download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.phpfile. Just replaceget_the_date()function withget_the_modified_date()there.Hi
I have just upgraded a website and now all of the downloads have become visible without logging in, I have a test site that I can show you an example of, any ideas ?
Thankyou
In reply to: Cache Headers And Varnish
Download Manager sends no cache header only when downloading a file.
You can disable this header by editing this file
/download-manager/libs/class.FileSystem.phpRemove line 81,
nocache_headers();The simplest way of showing all downloads is the
[wpdm_all_pacakges]shortcode. If you want more advanced option please check Directory add-on https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-directory-add-on/Demo: https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-default/
Topic: Cache Headers And Varnish
Hi there,
I recently bought the pro version of Download Manager. There are a couple of things I need to know.
Firstly, the plugin is sending No Cache headers due to which Varnish cache is not working on my website. Kindly help me resolve the issue. If these are necessary for the plugin to work efficiently then please tell me how to exclude posts from this issue as it is slowing down my other content.
Secondly, kindly guide me on how to create a Products page for my customers. From my understanding I need to create a page and then insert shortcodes of all the downloads on that page. Can I use one shortcode for all my products and specify the template to display them in a particular manner on the page or due I need to do this individually.
Thanks a lot for your help and time,
Anirudh.Topic: Capturing URL of user
When a user downloads a file we are asking them to input their name and email. We would also like to capture the URL of the page that as a hidden form.
For example if we have a [brochure X] download which sits on http://www.company.com/product and a user completes [name = John Smith] and [email =john@smith.com] and clicks the download brochure button,
I want the following details to be captured:
Name – John Smith (user entered)
Email – john@smith.com (user entered)
URL – http://www.company.com/product (hidden and captured behind the scenes)
File downloaded – [=brochure x] (hidden and captured behind the scenes)We also need to pass all this info through to MailChimp
In reply to: Removing User Management From WPDM
No, you won’t face any issue. Download Manager doesn’t really manage users except controlling access to the downloads based on their roles.
As the title says. Most users doesn’t care about overall downloads. They are interested in only for some categories.
In reply to: Loggedin User details
“each package is attached to a category etc and that should be included in the download information so users can see the most popular category”
I second that. Also there should be widget support for it. So we can place the most popular downloads for the mentioned category page. Not overall downloads. There are some easy things you can make for this plugin even greater. Just listen to your users.
In reply to: Download link not working
Hi guys, just following this up. This really is missing what I believe to be core functionality. Both your setting>subscribers and settings>stats should include these columns with at least the Category and Author Fields included.
The ability for users to understand what category is the most popular or which Author has had the most downloads shouldn’t require custom work!!!
If you can’t include it as core functionality at the bare minimum it should be an additional Add-on. I would happily purchase it and I suspect many of your other users would as well. And obviously if it is being captured then that information should also be available to MailChimp Add-on as again it will enable users to customise automated marketing to customers depending on what package was downloaded.
For example if you know a user downloaded something from a particular user you could then follow up with an email to them offering further books by that author.
I hope you see the logic and do the right thing as otherwise this whole Plugin is pretty much useless for me 🙁
Favorite downloads are listed in users public profile page
/profile/?profile=userid. We will soon add the list in user’s dashboard.Please check add-on page info to understand add-on features.
Page Template add-on allows you to use your theme’s page template on the download details page. This is useful when you are trying to control sidebar on the download details page.
Yes, it is possible to use feature image in link template. Create a custom link template and use thumb template tag there with the desired size.
Please create new topics for new issues to relate topic title with the issue.
