OK, i understand the solution – the page will still exist but access is denied. I can achieve the same result by creating a blank page template and applying it to all the downloads, hopefully the combination of removing packages from search and the blank template will solve the problem.

Maybe an example will help.
I have a healthcare charity client who make patient information available to download in this area https://www.mesothelioma.uk.com/downloadable-resources/ with buttons linked to the PDFs.
Each of those packages has a post created for it, which I want to completely hide from the visitor or ideally not have created in the first place – e.g. https://www.mesothelioma.uk.com/downloads/best-supportive-care/ – i don’t want this post to be visible to any visitor.
Does that help?
Hello James LaVelle,
I can’t navigate the WP-Admin > Downloads > All Packages
section with your above credentials. Can you please check and let me know?
Thank you and regards
I am using WPDM Accordion in Download Manager Pro. My understanding is that the Accordion sorting option only sorts the packages listed within the Accordion’s categories but it doesn’t sort the category titles or subcategory titles themselves. I am aware that I can manually sort the parent category titles by changing their order in the shortcode as seen in this example:
[wpdm-accordion cats="first-category,test-category,next-category," cat_style="secondary" subcat_style="secondary" template="570ff5c2a5273.php" orderby="date" order="desc"]
For some reason, the Accordion subcategory titles are always listed in alphabetical order. Is there a way to automatically display the Accordion subcategory titles by descending or ascending published date? We offer video and audio downloads. The videos are all within subcategories so I have a need for subcategory titles to be sorted by published date so that users can quickly see the newest or oldest video and audio downloads just by looking at the subcategories. With the subcategories sorted alphabetically the way they are now, they have to open all of the subcategories first in order to determine which downloads are the newest. I have attached a graphic so that you better understand my request.

Hello Joshua King,
Hope you are well. Thanks for writing to us. For updating the WPDM PRO plugin, Please simply click the Save Settings again for the license key option from Downloads > Settings > License

I am getting “deprecated” headers. I need to update to the 6.5.1 version, but there is a paywall. I am a paying customer, and I have 400+ downloads that people cannot download because of these errors.
How do I download the latest version? I have been a paying customer for 3 years. This is insane.

Hi,
Really loving this plugin but I am struggling to properly set up my link template. I have installed the PDF viewer and basically I want the same functionality as I find here:
https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/pdf-viewer/
If you scroll down you find two examples with behind it a VIEW button and DOWNLOAD button. I want the saame functionality of (1) VIEW: opening it in a pop-up and (2) DOWNLOAD a direct download with leaving the page (currently the downloads to not directly download but open in a new tab).
sample.pdf VIEW DOWNLOAD +
Terms & Conditions – WordPress Download Manager.pdf VIEW DOWNLOAD +
Hope you guys can help. Thanks a lot.

Hello Ryan Stueve,
Hope you are well. Thanks for writing to us. WPDM attached files are generally stored in the wp-content/uploads/download-manager-files
directory. For now, we have no such option for exporting a CSV of all files stored in the Digital Asset Manager. However, for your requirements, you can also check the options from Downloads > Settings > General
as I image attached

please check and let me know
Thank you and regards
Glad to hear that part of your issue has been resolved. Now, for adding jar
file for available in download, Have you checked the settings here Downloads > Settings > General > Upload Settings > Allowed file types to upload
as I image attached,

please check and let me know
Thank you and regards
Hello, Lee

Is there any way to log events in GA4 when someone downloads, I know I can create events manually via tag manager but didn’t know if there was any sort of integrations already?
We are looking to know details like where the user is, device type, which page they downloaded on, etc. and the basic stats don’t provide that info.
I am using an email lock form with the box.com add-in. Once the email is submitted, instead of getting the download, my readers are left with a spinning/loading page and then a 502 error. Please advise. I have cleared all caches. This is occurring on multiple browsers from multiple IP addresses. I will leave the login and password in the next comment.
Nayeem,
I have only got it partially to work.
This works:
If the user is not logged in, then the “add_to_cart” button works and the user is taken to the cart.
There they can login (or register), the discount is applied and the complete payment button shows which they click.
The license is then generated and they are taken to the purchased page and see the order and newly generated license key.
However this doesn’t work:
If the user has registered and logged in then there is no way of adding the package to the cart to purchase it as the add to cart button has been turned into a direct download button. thus it downloads the package without generating a license key.
I realise that a logged on user doesn’t need to generate a new key every time the redownload the package.
Is there a way to check if a package has been purchased before it is downloaded?
Simon.
The. issue is that the license key is only generated when processing checkout.
If a customer is logged in then

Ok. I see the File Cart in use on this demo instead: http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/addons/membership-plans/
Please explain the difference between https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wp-pro-membership/ and shortcode [wpdm_user_dashboard].
Is WP Pro Membership a WPDM addon or is it a totally separate WordPress plugin? Confused.
I’d love to work with you to figure out all of the addons we’d need to meet our objectives. Our initial install of WPDM pro is not using the newest addon/functionality to meet our latest needs. Here are our objectives: (What combo of addons would you recommend?)
1 – Download single, by category or by selection to an auto zip file. (Doing this now)
2 – Flexibility to create a desired view of downloads in various layouts. (List (sorted), masonry, title that expands, card etc.)
3 – Get stats based on single download, zip file download (with single files increment).
4 – Collect email prior to download. OR create a login membership.
5 – Backend: Get stats based on email (John downloaded these files historically).
6 – Frontend: Let visitor see which files they already downloaded by searching using their own email.
7 – Store files in the Cloud.
8 – Embed downloads in a post or page. (doing this now)
9 – Style download buttons. (doing this now – would a theme be better? Does that happen sitewide or only for WPDM packages?)
10 – Provide a Title/description per download in text editor (in case we want to add video or other content). (Doing this now)
11 – Password protect a single download (doing this now) Is it possible by group of downloads (by tag or category or other).
12 – Limit the number of downloads per session or IP or email.
13 – Differentiate between a FIle Manager and a DAM relating to your tool. Could we use your tool as a DAM for images to be used on WordPress instead of the Media Library?
14 – Let visitor select files they want no matter what page, package, etc and download the selected files not ALL of the files. Zip the selected files into one for download.
15 – Let the WP ROLE (Admin or editor) select files to suggest to a registered visitor with an email containing links to files.

Hello Tahasin,
thanks for your fast answere! The Article helped me very much to understand the DropZone.
So, may I’ll tell you about my usecase:
We have a Download-Center, where users can acces Downloads that are allowed for their Roles.
We have several pages, where only a special role is allowed to access the Downloads. A user, that is allowed to download from page A is NOT allowed to download from page B and C.
On this pages we would like to implement a DropZone field, that we can simply add downloads via frontend. These downloads may only be visible on the page where they were uploaded via DropZone. They must not be visible on any other page. We need a user role that is allowed to access the uploaded files that es not allowed to access the WordPress backend (like standard WordPres roles like Subscriber or Viewer).
Is this possible via DropZone? Can we have multiple DropZones on a WordPress Site?
Regards
Chris
