Maybe I worded this poorly. I can’t use the plugin because the ‘downloads’ folder does not appear as a menu item.
Please take a look at a snapshot after the plugin was installed and activated, by the way the widgets show up and they
work. Just no ‘downloads’ folder to do anything.
I had the FREE version, deleted it, downloaded, installed and activated the pro version but the ‘downloads’ directory does not show up as indicated in your demo. Luckily I had not closed another browser where my old installation of download mgr free was, I clicked on the file mgr tab and it allowed me to put in the license code for the pro version. That’s the last I have seen of the program. Deactivated the plugin, activated again,
still nothing. Tried all 4 browsers.
Hi, i did buy the Pro Version + alot of Plugin’s.
here is a list of my Problems.
1. I did a translation with the .po File.
After a day of Translation i found out that still alot of stuff will be displayed in english.
Is this a known problem ?
2. When i Display the Archive-Page it doesn’t show the ICON’s of the choosen content inside the Categorie
seems like somethink wrong with the ICON Adress.
Right now it is :
https://download.medidok.net/index.php/alle-downloads/%3Cimg%20width=48%20class=’wpdm_icon’%20align=’left’%20src=’https://download.medidok.net/wp4mddown/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/file-type-icons/download2.png’%20/%3E
If i open a Categorie by the Widget
it is https://download.medidok.net/wp4mddown/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/file-type-icons/download2.png
3.
I Ordered first the Pro Version with Plugin and then i Ordered again the speed Control Plugin
what Key should i use? I have 2 key’s now.
When i look inside my account here it doesn’t have a domain ?! normal ?
4. I had Problems with the permalink structure
The Site is https://download.medidok.net
The content is https://download.medidok.net/wp4mddown/
I had to change the Startsite inside WP to https://download.medidok.net/index.php
After that i could use /%postname%/ inside permalink settings.
Beside that i did change inside download-manager/modules/ the file canonical-url.php
under function wpdm_flat_url
i did change every .site_url to .home_url
I’m note sure if that was really needed but i’ve done it to get it working
I’m Using IIS7.5 and WP3.51 on php 5.3.21 (Fast-CGI)
hopefully i can get some help here
We are having a similar issues. Sometimes the files will upload to the server and sometimes they wont. We created all of our packages and then realized that when you click the download button for either the individual files or the full package, only some of them work. The download-manager-files folder seems to have 755 on it. Should it be 777? I’m assuming not. Why would some of the downloads work and some not? We checked inside of the directory and only a few of the files are making it all the way up, it’s not a file size issue either because some large files make it after a few tries and some small ones don’t make it up even though the package shows that it did. However, the files are missing from the directory on the server. Does this all make sense? We are using WP 3.5.1
my client would like to add checkboxes to the listing template and a button that allows selected files to be downloaded (either as one zip file or individually, if possible).
any ideas if that’s feasible?
thanks
I have some install applications that I need to have hosted on the site. I FTP the files onto the server, and set up the package for the download. When anyone tries to download on of the files it gives them a zero length file and nothing really downloads. I need to get this fixed ASAP. We just released a new version and now I have no way to get it to my customers for upgrades.
That only works for the download counts in the individual files/packages templates, but the counts are still displayed on the main Downloads page, which is created by the Archive Page add-on.
That’s the one we haven’t been able to remove the download counts from. What is the template for the main page of the Archive Page layout?
Alas, I cannot give you access to the website, but there is definitely some confusion on how to use Link Templates and Page Templates.
We have test pages with single files as packages, but changing the Link Templates and Page Templates so we can view them doesn’t do anything at all… how can we best see what these templates look like?
And what is the best way to add images to the Directory add-on? We finally found where the crazy font was being added and removed it from the add on so that it used the same font as the rest of the site, but the thumbnails and featured images seem to have an erratic preference of their own when it comes to display sizes ๐
Are there recommended sizes for Featured images for downloads?
yes, in demo all templates are available and working there, may you please send a temporary wp-admin login info to support@wpdownloadmanager.com to check your issue
the button seems to work and a file downloads but there are no files in the zip when I try and unzip it

Thanks, this is really helpful. I will do that.
Actually you will never need that feature, as wpdm pro already has clone option. You can create a package with default settings, then every time you need to create another package, you can clone previous one or the default one.
We will not be selling any files for the foreseeable future, however I’ve moved us from WordPress Download Monitor and I need to still have one page where: folks can search for all documents/files, they can visually see all grouped by the categories…AND I want to be able to have them download more than one file at a time. It would seem like a need the Premium Addon for the shopping cart feature to do multiple downloads, however does that also give the view of all the files grouped by category or where the user can filter them…or do I have to also buy the Directory Add-on for that? This feature here: http://nthouses.ee/kvaliteet-ja-sertifikaadid/
Thanks!
I found a similar issue trying to expand the search with the archive addon. The actual archive page itself uses a javascript search query that appears to only search by title. Could not get it to look at package descriptions.
However, if you use the [wpdm-search-page] shortcode that comes with the wpdm directory add-on, THAT searches into the description. I only discovered that shortcode by going through the source code for the archive php file. The section to describe that area is on line 364. I then rewrote that to include categories and ended up with something like this: $res = $wpdb->get_results(“select * from {$wpdb->prefix}ahm_files where title like ‘%$_REQUEST[q]%’ or description like ‘%$_REQUEST[q]%’ or category like ‘%$_REQUEST[q]%'”,ARRAY_A);
Since my site is for downloads only, and nothing else, I ended up rewriting the search.php page in my theme template area using this information to create a search bar on the site itself that parses the data out to a new page.
Anyway, I hope this can help you some as it took me about 2 days to get it all sorted out for my own site.
Replying again, my admin account was reseted and I was able to download again and I did 10 downloads (limit is 2) with not a limitation txt popping on at all. Please check my issue and please try to download my own downloads from my own posts where the problem persists. If you need a new account I can give you one right away.
Thank you!
Wow….! So, I took your advice @Shaon and contacted Live Support. Firstly they pointed me to the add-ons which provide the TinyMCE icon and the import of the downloads from the free version. Excellent – though may be a good idea to alert people they will need these, especially as they are free.
Then the issue I had with templates was resolved after I gave Live Support admin access and FTP access whereupon it was discovered the plugin had not been fully installed somehow and some files were missing. They were added and the Pro version now works…!
I had initially asked for my money back….but now I’ll be promoting the plug in instead because of the excellent support.
Thanks.
Me too…! When you have a site that has hundreds of downloads with the free version, the last thing you want is the Pro version to ignore them meaning you have to install them all again…!
Plus the TinyMCE button disappearing is just plain daft.
Plus the templates do not work – no matter which template I choose it only ever shows the default on the front end.
Happy…? Not…! I’m switching back to the free version – it is SO MUCH BETTER…!
Hi there,
I’m moving my site onto a different server – same domain. At the moment, it’s reachable via IP address and we’re testing the site using the hosts file on individual PC’s. However, the downloads and archive page don’t seem to be working – I’m assuming that it’s a licensing thing as it’s not technically on the same domain any more; is this the case?
However, I can’t switch the domains over until the client has seen the site working. Given this, is it possible to add a temporary licence for a week pointed at an IP address?
Thanks,
Angela
Hello I am facing a problem with Daily Downloads. Everything seems to work great but the only problem is that the maximum number of downloads per day doesnt function and everybody gets the daily-download-limit.txt file.
Is there a way to fix this and give my members to download the minimum of files everyday? The maximum files allowed for download are 2 and it doesnt work.
Please help me.
Hi,
I just purchased this after being impressed by the free version but now having so many problems with PRO version. I’ve uploaded the file and everything but when I want to download it downloads a file called ‘fie not found.txt’.
Had such high hopes for this plugin but really disappointed now.
Hello Shaon,
Please help me I still can not fix the issues with the downloads manager This is the page I want people to download the files : http://www.sfml.nl/download/
via http://www.sfml.nl/aanmeldingsformulier/ I want people/members to login to my site (you can try with > admin, SFML2010) . When they do another menu appears (incl menu item “Downloads” > http://www.sfml.nl/download/) I added some downloads but when I click on them I get redirected to the homepage instead of downloading the files. It’s really making me crazy. Please can you help me to fix this issues with the plugin.
If I set:
Allow only ‘Editor’ and upper level users to administrate this plugin
Multi-User ‘Disabled’
then Downloads does not appear for Editors.
If I set:
Allow only ‘Editor’ and upper level users to administrate this plugin
Multi-User ‘Enabled’
then Downloads does appear for Editors but they can’t see packages that an Administrator has added.
Is there a way to let Editors manage packages that administrators have added?
Hey guys, need some help with a few basics.
When viewing the site, and I click on the title of a download package it takes me to the next page showing version size, downloads, size, created date.etc… well how do I add the main picture on that page? Also can I actually turn this page off as well? These seem like simple things but I cannot find solutions anywhere….
@jeannelking, no need of ftp any more:
- Delete free version
- then follow the steps here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/docs/installing-wordpress-download-manager-pro/
- Now if you need to import files from free to pro, Download and install copy to pro add-on from here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/copy-to-pro/
- Go to wp-admin Downloads Settings Copy to premium tab, and you will see the list of files you create with free version, check all copy
- and done!
