I’ve created a custom link template using Downloads -> Templates editor. When I view lists of downloads in [wpdm-archive] they display correctly using the custom templates. I have the setting “Link Template for Archive Page” set to the new template. That’s all good.
However, when I view post listings that have been created using a tag cloud or site search or category list, the template is not applied. WP appears to be using a standard template in those cases. How can I configure it so that WP always uses the WPDM template assigned to the package.
Thanks,
Andreas.
Hi,
Just purchased WPDM Pro with the Directory addon and am having a few issues getting it up and running.
Here is what I have done:
Installed the plugins, created a category, created two packages and assigned them to that category.
First issue is that when I click to view a category it takes me to a wordpress archives site. Why does this happen? What would I need to do to fix this?
Second issue is that I can’t seem to get the login form or button to appear. I checked the box Show Only Login Button Instead of Login Required Message in the settings. When should it come up? When you view the category or the package. What I would like to happen is that users should not be able to see any of the categories until they login. I created a page called downloads and added the shortcode [wpdm-categories] but that displays all of the categories immediately and I don’t see the login button or login form.
I’ve created this package: http://www.smartchange.it/get/smartchange-app/
It has a simple email lock, set as is:
Ask for Visitor’s Name: Yes
After submit form: Download Instantly
If i download the file via a pc all is ok. The file is immediatly downloaded and a download link is emailed too (no set this option; wpdm emails on its own initiative ^_^ )
But if i download via an Android Phone and its mobile web browser, it downloads a .htm file (smartchange_monitor.htm)
Why?
I bought and installed the WPDM Directory Add-on.
I placed the [wpdm-archive] short code on a page.
When I try to load the page, the WP theme disappears and the site menu is displayed vertically (normally horizontal) and is devoid of all style.
The problem does not happen if I change the WP theme to one of the built in WP themes like Twenty Fourteen.
I am using a theme from RocketThemes. Their themes are based on the Gantry Framework which I am pretty sure uses Twitter Bootstrap.
I went to Downloads -> Settings -> Misc Settings to try the different options under Twitter Bootstrap. Every time I press the “Save Settings” button, I get an indication the settings successfully saved – but if I reload the page, I see Twitter Bootstrap has reverted to the Active setting.
What’s going on with the Twitter Bootstrap setting in the plugin and what can be done so I can use this plugin with my theme?
WP [3.8.1] – Download Manager [Version 4.0.6] – WPDM Archive Page [Version 2.1.0]
I can send login info if needed.
Thanks,
–Chris
I just got purchasing and I am not able to download all of the files associated with my order / account. For example, when I go to download protect hotlink plugin / addon, all I get is a file downloaded named “file-not-found.txt”.
Hi,
The MP3 player seems good but I don’t see how you can individually download those files as the admin CP suggests – http://unofficialmills.co.uk/mp3downloads/download/january-2014-podcasts-2/
When on a category, all downloads are shown. I want to sort the downloads by subcategory and show the subcategory title above.
See screenshot.
Also, the first subcategory is called ‘Datasheets’, but the first downloads visable are from the subcategory ‘Manuals’. Is there a way to manage this?
Hi,
I upgraded yesterday from v388 to v405.
I’ve done the migration and I’ve gone through the pages where downloads appear and changed their ID numbers to the v405 numbers.
I’ve downloaded and activated all the new add-ons such as image buttons.
But I still can’t get the download links to appear on the pages. I just get a blank space where the link should be.
When I go into Downloads – Templates and click on preview for any link or page template the preview box appears but it’s blank.
I’ve obviously missed something in the settings somewhere but I’ve spent 12 hours working on this now and am going round in circles.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
🙂
I’m experiencing some problems when using the Archive Add On for categories.
Here is an example page: http://wptest.alcadis.nl/downloads/was-105r/
1. On a Category Page, there are no downloads being displayed
2. On a Category Page, when clicking a subcategory, you get redirected to a NEW page. I don’t want this. I want to load the subcategory in the same page. (like it’s done here: http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page/).
I use the following code to show the Archive Add On when you click on a category:
if ( ‘wpdmpro’ == get_post_type() ) {
$q_object = get_queried_object(); //gets the current object from the custom post type ‘wpdmpro’
$slug = $q_object->slug; //gets the slug
echo do_shortcode(“[wpdm-archive category='”.$slug.”‘]”); //uses the shortcode and takes the slug we just called
}
Now, when I use the shortcode ( [wpdm-archive category=’category-slug’] directly in a WordPress page, both problems don’t occur.
Example here: http://wptest.alcadis.nl/support/
Can you tell me what the problem is and how to fix this?
Thanks
