Hi,
Today I was uploading new files to our site and noticed that the icons aren’t showing anymore. When I tested a download it says the file cannot be opened because it has been corrupted (for both PDF and Excel file types). This was working for us fine when I made uploads about a week ago. For some reason now it stopped working.
Does this have anything to do with the auto update that WordPress ran recently? That’s the only thing I can think of that’s changed really…other than a couple of plugins that were updated today (WordPress SEO, Google Analytics for WordPress, and Display Widgets).
See here for example: http://www.fashioncapsule.ca/shoppers/lookbooks/
We have files that are password protected on other pages which are really important for the fashion season coming up very soon. Will updating the plugin help, or will it make it worse?
Thanks!
I am suppose to launch a website tomorrow and needed a robust plugin to manage downloads. After using the the Free version of WP Downloads Manager I was happy with the plugin. I purchased the pro plugin because of the things it claimed to do.
It is a much worse experience than the free plugin. I can not find a single template that will properly display my download link.
I have had to use multiple plugins to achieve similar functionality to the free plugin, such as the Tiny MCE Button plugin, which even after install is not half as robust as the free version. Without this I will have to go into each package and change the template without the advantage of using the shortcode in my product admin page.
I am very unhappy. I have spent valuable hours and $45 on a plugin that is not ready for market. I am very unhappy with this plugin.
The only advantage I have seen is the ability to download multiple downloads. Now that they are downloaded I can’t make a format work to display them properly. I am very frustrated. In all the years I’ve been working with WordPress I’ve never been this unhappy with a plugin experience.
Is it possible to display the total amount of available downloads in a widget or a post? The total amount is shown under All Packages in the admin area so I assume it can be done on the frontend as well?
Thanks in advance.
I’ve created a test package containing two files. I want a post to show the download links to all files in the test package without linking to a separate download page. How can I do this?
I have been using DMpro for quite some time and have been happy. However, I recently updated the plugin. Now the individual file download option is corrupting this files. If I download the entire “package” as a zip, I can still open all the files just fine. It is just the individual file download that is having issues.
I tried migrating from 3.3.8 to version 4 and had to roll back to previous version since my downloads stopped working. I was able to migrate all packages. However, the categories did not migrate and the ‘password lock’ option for each package was no longer enabled. When I enable the password lock for a package the correct password still appears. I had to go in and enable the password lock for all packages. I only have 12 packages so this is not too big of a problem for me, but I imagine for sites with hundreds of packages this could be an issue.
On the front end, my downloads have stopped working. When entering the password for a file, it submits but returns the error message ‘Wrong password’ in the pop-up. This same behavior happens with Bootstrap JS/CSS enabled and disabled.
Before the update to 4.0 all of my downloads worked correctly with Bootstrap disabled. Is there a known bug in the ‘lock options’?
Also, the wpdm Amazon S3 extension does not work with wpdm 4.0. Do you plan on updating this plugin? If so, when?
Right now without a working password-lock option and Amazon S3 plug-in I can’t update to wpdm 4.0.
How can I update my downloads page to look like http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/all-downloads/?
Is this an add-on? I tried going through the settings in the back-end and could not find a way to update this.
The 4.0 rc2 shows up in my downloads but It serves the 3.3.3 version on all available links?
http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/ seems broken and is using a version 4?!?
http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/all-downloads/ for instance doesn’t show a search box. Is version 4 available for download?
1. Shortcodes for the Pro version aren’t displaying. When I put in a shortcode to display all packages in a category, the page goes blank or I am given a message that I don’t have access to that category. Existing shortcodes from the free version don’t work. See attached screen shot.
2. The categories list on the back end does not look like it does in the DM Pro documentation. There are no shortcodes shown, no option to control access, etc. See attached screen shot.
3. I need a widget that will display the most popular downloads. I thought that by upgrading to Pro I would be able to get that widget, but I didn’t see it. Does that widget exist? How can I get it activated on my site?
