Hi – I have followed the instructions to upgrade from 3 to 4.0.4. Including using the extra plugin to migrate from 3 to 4. But… now all of my existing downloads have changed their ID. Which means none of them work on my pages or posts. How can I pls make sure that the ID codes remain the same and dont need changing on 30+ pages pls?
Many thanks
Thank you Shaon ! I am so glad to hear you will provide this again, it’s really useful if one does not have thousands of products and that format was just perfect for what I want so I can’t wait to have it back :). Also, I would like this add-on to show the number of downloads only if I choose so.
Why are all the download links messed up, when I’m using the add-on button?
I was able to install the TinyMCE button, but it’s not looking/working right:

H Shaon is this working with 4.04 ?
I have installed it but nothing seems to download

Thanks if you can point me in the right direction

ok, disabled the plugin & everything is good. thanks for your help!
just confirmed from support team, your issue is resolved, problem was you had block hotlink add-on active, which is still not compatible with v4. anyhow compatible version coming soon. Thanks
I have my template set-up where the PDF is downloaded directly from the page where the link is using the following:
[icon] [title]
This is perfect for single downloads. I would also like to create one that display all the downloads in a category the same way.
I’m just stuck on how to accomplish this.
Hello. I am changing hosting companies for my wordpress website. I have my old website still LIVE and did a fresh install of wordpress for my new website on my new host. I have imported all my old posts and pages and images from my old to my live site.
I have installed download manager pro on my new website. How can I move all my download manager settings and downloads easily without having to go through all the steps of creating packages and adding(uploading) all the downloads for my users
Is there an Import / Export feature? I dont see it in the Download Manager settings. Pls help.
Thanks.
sent a few emails to support & haven’t heard back. please see support emails.
even when i turn off all locks on my download packages, all of the download links go to 404.
thanks again for your help!
Hi Shaon,
i have the same problem as many users before. i used the free version and everything worked fine. Then i wanted to make packages with multiple files. So paid for WPDM PRO. now i have this problem with the data pages. I want my download links only to appear on password protected sites (because of copy right reasons). Now with WPDM Pro my downloads aren’t protected anymore, because of those data pages. This is a huge problem for me.
I read your explantions (integrated templates) many times and tried nearly all of those templates. But still i don’t know how to get rid of those data pages. Please help me! I tried my best! Can you explain exactly how i can create a download link without the data page, please?
yes, the links show fine on that page, but when i tweet to download i get a 404 and nothing is downloaded. did you test the actual download?
package & download category slugs are set to default in wpdm settings (download & downloads). i am not using ‘download’ or ‘downloads’ as slugs anywhere else in wordpress.
no matter what page the downloads are shown on, tweet/like/+1 to download does not work – takes me to 404 and nothing is downloaded.
I’m confused. I created a custom link template. When I go to Downloads > Templates, I see my custom link template and the template ID listed for my custom link template is: 52f2603ba5898. This is the same template ID I’m using in my shortcode.
I’m sorry to keep asking for clarification, but this is really confusing…
@babby, support team tested, it was showing ok here http://bluskreen.com/all-packages/ , but you were facing error, because probably you were using same base url slug for that page as package or download category url slug. in which url you were facing problem?
still have not heard back from support via email. please help – i’m still having the same problem. when i click to tweet for download, nothing is downloaded & i get a 404. site has been down for days now – got to get this fixed asap. thanks again!!!
Thanks, Shaon. I’ve created the link template with your above code and called it ‘File List’. It has the ID of 52f0b563f3d46.
Next I went into the package and changed the link template to ‘File List’. The problem is when I update the page/package, the link template reverts back to ‘with MP3 preview’. I can switch to any of the other templates, but not ‘File List’ that I created.
I checked on the page where I want the file list to appear and it just displays ’52f0b563f3d46′.
Any ideas where I’m going wrong? I’m using v4.0.3 of the plugin.
EDIT
The only way I could get it working was to create a new link template in \plugins\download-manager\templates. But I’m guessing this will disappear with each update?
Seems like this has occurred since the upgrade on my free version and something to do with the plugin “Better WP Security” – I have deactivated the security plugin and the downloads are now working. Any help on making these two work together as they did before would be appreciated.
thanks for getting back. still having the same issue. please see email. thx!
just sent revised login info – see new username. Thanks!!
@babby, login info is not working
