Trying out Free before I go to Pro. Seems to be an issue though with larger download (7Mb) not showing the ‘download’ link on the button. Other downloads smaller are okay.
Is this a limitation of Free version of wpdm?
In reply to: Multiple Downloads on One Page
[wpdm-all-packages items_per_page=20] should show the downloads of specific site only, if not, please give me network login info in a private reply, I’ll check.
In reply to: help with upgrade
I have two sites both completely separate from each other but part of a multi-site setup. I have installed the plugin and it is working on both sites. I now want to have one page on each site which will show just all of the downloads available from that site, and not the other. So site A just has A downloads, and site B just has B downloads.
I have tried in a test posting using this
[wpdm-all-packages items_per_page=20]but it shows *all* the downloads for both sites. How can I get it to just use the downloads for site A please?In reply to: Page of *all* downloads for that site?
It is on a test page which is never published, just used for trial purposes. Its url is sharons test page, but this is what I’ve tried
[wpdm_package_all]which doesn’t work. I just want to be able to autolist all available downloads for a particular site. I have two sites both running this plugin, and all the data goes into one databank/data-table, but I just want some of them to show, not to show the downloads of the other site.you need to follow the following steps after you update to v2.7 from v2.6:
- Go to Admin Menu Downloads Settings Migrate tab
- You will see all files you created with v2.6
- Now select around 20-30 files at a time
- And click “Save Settings” button
- Continue the process for all of the files there
- So you have migrated all data from v2.6 to v2.7
- Sorry about the trouble, but now you need to re-assign categories to packages
- Download and install Advanced TinyMce Button Add-on
- You can use the add-on to generate short-codes
- As you know, now you can get more free add-ons from here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/downloads/free-add-ons/
I have the plugin working on two sites in a ‘multi-site’ setup. I want to have a page of all downloads for that site alone and leaving out the others from the other site. But I can’t work out, nor see in the documentation, how to do it.
Site 2 will only have site 2 downloads in, and
site 3 will only have site 3 downloads in.But how can I do it please?
Can you please let me know how to fix the following error.
My client is unable to download the PDF files from the following website, only from INTERNET EXPLORER. It creates an error “cannot download file”. The downloads work normally in Chrome, Safari and firefox. It’s just IE.
Topic: Categories Level
Hi,
I am considering getting the pro version if it helps me achieve to attain the functionality required below:
-From the home page I want click on a resources page which displays all the categories top level (i.e. Music (5), Misc (3)) in WP Download Manager. (Am unable to do this with free version) How can I do this?
-Once you click on the category, it will go to the next level i.e. show music downloads.
For the display of the category downloads which some may not have files attached and no download button, can I display something likeFilename, Description of File, Download button? (Can also click within to go into file info)
Just wondering how I can do this.
Thanks
Hi, I hope you can help.
I have a website with many downloads http://www.actin-spain.com/downloads
No matter what I do/change the downloads are all corrupt and cannot be opened. I have tried reattaching the files to the package, the files are perfectly ok when downloaded via ftp. I have tried creating new shortcodes which is a pain as there are so many. I have deactivated nextgen gallery, but still the downloads are corrupted. Can you please help as this is causing many problems with the users.
Thanks.
In reply to: Download Manager & Paid Memberships Pro
Hi Shaon,
I’m not sure you are understanding my issue.
I know I can restrict access based upon user groups (i.e. Admin, Editor, etc.) but the only group that is applicable is Customer (as we are using WooCommerce to manage 12 month memberships). However, once the 12 month membership expires, they would still be part of the Customer group and therefore still be able to access the individual download pages.
All I need is the ability to either stop the individual download pages being generated or apply the ability to restrict access to the page itself while still allowing access to the downloads on the custom pages I create for each category.
Sadly it’s not viable to undo all the setup and move over to a different membership system.

From version 2.7.* Download Manager Free moved to custom post type for better performance and security issue. After you upgrade to version 2.7.*, you need to migrate your old versions’ data. To migrate your old version data to new version, goto Admin Menu Downloads Settings Migrate Tab of your WordPress admin panel. Follow the instructions written their.
Things to remember:
1. You need to manually re-assign download icon for every post from Admin Menu Downloads All Files2. You need to reassign categories for each files manually.
3. Existing Category ShortCode will not work, you need to change all category ShortCode manually. However, you can install Advanced TinyMCE button AddOns for free to easily place shortcode in a page or post.
4. You can install Free AddOns to extend functionality for Download Manager.
*If you don’t want to do update to the latest version, you can still use Download Manager Version 2.6.96
In reply to: Data Table Questions
1. Thanks!
2. Basically I want visitors to see the package arranged by Create Date by default instead of by Title when they open my Download page.
Default View | Sort by Create Date
I also found out that Create Date has sorting problem
(refer Sort by Date screenshot above)This might be a problem with jstable read date format because jstable=0 solved it. But we’ll lose the search/sorting functionality.
(I’m using dd/MM/yyyy format)Screenshots from http://blog.akudarahanakmalaysia.net/downloads
(I’ve increased the limit to 50 so you can see what I meant if you want to test it)Topic: Data Table Questions
I like how data-table shortcode presents itself; neat and simple.
But I got some problems:1. Pages not working
I’m using this shortcode:
[wpdm-all-packages items_per_page="10" jstable=1]
with 45 packages available
Extended plugin is activatedBut the Download page only shows 10 downloads and that’s all. Prev/Next button below doesnt work at all.
I can increase the limit to 50 to show them all, but this is seriously a problem.
I dont want my page to be scrolling far below when I have 1000 packages.2. How do I set Created Date as default view?
In reply to: Upgraded to Pro – Download Connection SLOW
This is the second time I have posted about this as I have not got a response yet.
The free version of the plugin worked great, took 1 – 2 seconds to connect to a download item.
Now that we have upgraded to pro the downloads take 20 – 30 seconds to start downloading if not ending with a 500 error….totally unacceptable..
Please let us know a solution for this
Topic: update broke my site!
Not only did it mess up my main dropdown menu (not sure how it did that!) but it also changed the name of my file manager… So I got a custom post type and lost all my downloads.
Not planning on updating unless you can assure me I won’t lose my data, or my menu!
Thanks
Today I upgraded the plugin to the latest, Version 4.1.8. Now, I can’t seem to attach files to a package, or edit details of the package (like templates used, package size, # of downloads, etc.)
Whenever I hit the update button it just discards the changes. I even tried creating a new package and attaching the file I want (a simple 329 KB PDF), but only basic information (Author, title, description) seem to be saved. Everything else reverts to the default, and the file does not attach.
Please help. I’m getting ready to launch a new site, and this is really causing me some concern.
Topic: Download Sleep SLOW! Help!
Hey
Recently upgraded to WPDownloadManager Pro and the speed of our downloads to actually connect to the download takes forever now!
When we had the free version is was very fast.
Let us know what you need to have a look.
In reply to: Have you stopped supporting the free version?
Well, I uninstalled and reinstalled. I uploaded a fresh file. I got the same error on my test page. I disabled “Resumable Downloads”, saved the setting, and was able to download the file. I went back to settings, and the enable option was selected again. I was still able to download the file. So, I don’t know if that will fix it for additional files, or whether I need to go through the disable/enable step for each file, but it will work.
As for the ugly links that don’t fit in my sidebar, can I assume that is something the Pro version will allow me to fix?
In reply to: Have you stopped supporting the free version?
Nothing else to fix there now, you simply need to use latest version. All security issue is already fixed. Download issue is coming probably because your server is not supporting output buggering, in that case, from download manager settings page disable “Resumable Downloads”
Good morning, just updated to v4.1.8 and I’m not able to create new downloads. When i create a new doc I am able to attach files, icons, templates, etc. But when i click on publish the content of the doc is blank. It saves with the title only but loses attached file, template settings and shows a blank page. It then renders on the page with an access denied link and no attachment found.
I’ve deleted the plugin, downloaded it again and reinstalled it. All add-ons were disabled before installing 4.1.8 and had no issues before updating. Have added no new plugins or had any site changes prior to the update.
Can you please help?
