Hello again,
I have checked your issue. The issue is appearing from the [wpdm_all_packages]
shortcode. I have also checked from a general page adjusting jstable=0
parameter. Thus it is working properly here, https://www.trikdis.com/wpdm-test/. It also has been checked that the issue is not appearing from all packages like the pdf file attached packages, it is coming maybe some apk file attached packages. The page you are claiming for the issue, https://www.trikdis.com/all-downloads/, I think it maybe conflicting with other scripts for jstable=1
. please check and let me know
Thank you and regards
You can check the Download
column width 100px
or other column widths from here, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_all_packages-list-all-downloads-in-tabular-format-in-a-page/. Thus you can adjust the container width. please check and let me know
Thank you and regards
This time after deactivating Simple SSL nothing changed. But I’ve noticed when I copy the download link manually file downloads.
I recently discovered that my site can’t connect to Amazon S3 when Elementor, WPDM Amazon S3, ElementsKit Lite, and ElementsKit Pro are active (NOTE: ElementsKit Lit is required to activate ElementsKit Pro). Under Download > Amazon S3, the buckets never load. Also, in Downloads > Settings > Cloud Storage, I just get the spinner and can’t change any settings. Not only can I not select any buckets from the backend, but when someone tries to download a file on the front end, they get the “There has been a critical error on this website” message. If I deactivate ElementsKit PRO, then I can access S3 buckets on the backend and downloads from S3 work again on the front end. In my next reply, I will provide screenshots along with admin access and the ElementsKit Pro plugin file so that you can test and troubleshoot the issue. I am running Download Manager 6.3.6 and WPDM Amazon S3 3.1.4.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Elementor, ElementsKit Lite, ElementsKit Pro, Download Manager Pro, WPDM Amazon S3 installed and activated.
2. Buckets won’t load in the backend and downloads from S3 don’t work on the front end.
3. Deactivate ElementsKit Pro and then Amazon buckets load in the backend and S3 downloads work on the front end.
I have tested with all other plugins disabled, a default WordPress theme active, and all modules and widgets disabled inside of ElementsKit Lite and Elements Kit Pro.
Hi i see it is working, but for me the explanation or the behavior is confusing
On the explanation from this post (https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/topic/restricting-downloads-via-category/) you’re saying:
and Package Access = Package Access empty + Category Access(Subscribers) = Subscribers
or Package Access = Package Access(subscriber) + Category Access(Subscribers) = Subscribers
So in my understanding, from this answer, if we set permissions to the package as “EMPTY” and then set the category permissions to some role, the permissions for that role should be granted to the packages as well
But it seems that for the package to be displayed in the category downloads page, its “Allowed Access” settigns cannot be empty. ¿is this correct?
Thank you
I was logged in because our client called us that the web page is messed up 🙂 and I saw that you changed to the default theme and the element was turned off, at that moment all downloads worked fine. And I understood that the Elementor is the cause. Yes? So what should I do?

Hello guys, on Chrome, some pdf downloads are not working. On Edge, I get a message that some PDFs cannot be downloaded securely. What should I do? What could be the problem? And how can I research this problem?
I tried to disable all plugins. Clear the cache. Reupload the file. Downgrade WPDM plugin.
I noticed that when copying the link from the button and opening it in a new window, the file downloads without a problem. https://www.trikdis.com/all-downloads/
Thanks 🙂
Good morning.
I’ve been poking around with the free version of WPDM trying to add several download categories and restrict its access to some user roles. So as said in this reply (https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/topic/restricting-downloads-via-category/) i’ve:
- created a category
- set permisions based on the desired roles
So it shows like this:
(https://pasteboard.co/xuOOavtx68VD.png)
Then added a couple of downloads (packages) set “Allow Access” to empty and and added it to the given category, so for example this is are one package settings:
But this didnt work. The Download Category archive page is public so any one can see it and donwload the files, and also the downloadable files are public available.
(https://pasteboard.co/MoO0I1NBV4Tm.png)
I’ve upgraded to the PRO version but the problem persists, so it seems there s something i’m missing here
Please, what are the right steps to:
- Create a role based category archive page
- Limit downloads to roles set on the category.
-
Thank you very much

Hello Peter,
Thanks to hear that you have found a solution. I am sorry for not being able to get back to you sooner.
For disallowing crawling by the Search Engine. You can Mask Download Link
, If you mask the download link, bots will not be able the find any public download link easily. You are able to find this setting from Downloads > Settings> Basic Settings
. please check.
And another way for making disallow Crawling Download Manager Pages on Google, Bing + search engines is, Add the following code at the end of your active theme’s functions.php
:
function noindex_for_wpdm()
{
if ( is_singular( 'wpdmpro' ) ) {
echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">';
}
}
I hope it may help you. Please check and let me know for further assistance.
Thank you and regards

Hello, I’m a new user and for some reason this is seeming way more complicated than it should. All i’m trying to do is add downloads to my membership site. When I go to create a new package, and upload a file from my computer it’s not uploading. When I go to change the icon associated with the package nothing shows up. When I go to preview a template nothing shows up and the page won’t scroll… I dunno everything just seems super glitchy.
Basically I just want to be able to have a simple shortcode to add to LearnDash lesson pages that displays either a PDF or MP3 icon, display the name of the file, and a little download button. Seems simple enough but for some reason the plugin doesn’t seem to be working. Am I missing something here?
Hello frank,
Hope you are well. For updating the WPDM plugin, Please simply click the Save Settings again for the license key option from Downloads > Settings > License
, and then please update the plugin from the wp-admin > plugins panel
.
For saving settings again for the license key option from Downloads -> Settings -> License
, that will regenerate the access token. Thus the plugin will be updated, hope that, it will solve your issue.
If still, the problem exists then you can also manually update the plugin
Thank you and regards
Hello,
Thank you for writing to us.
If you’re using the [wpdm_category]
shortcode then you can change the items display by using this parameter: items_per_page="10
[wpdm_category] – Query All Downloads From One or More Categories
Regards
Hello Bill,
Sorry for the confusion.
You can use wpdm_all_packages shortcode ( doc: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_all_packages-list-all-downloads-in-tabular-format-in-a-page/ ) to show the list of policies you have and to make the page protected, use login=1
as shortcode parameter.
For the categories and packages, you can select roles for Allow Access
option to control to can access the specific category or package.
Please send me temporary wp-admin login info, I shall set this up there for you.
Hi Nayeen,
and thx for your response. with the following Link you can see a screenshot.
In English the message would be “Download will be available from 31. December 2099 02:00 AM. The page where we use your plugin is a closed page so I am not able to give you access to it. Because of the Server Time the shown time is wrong and we want do delete the time information in the alert-message.
Is there a way to do this?
I found a way to change the alert-message string when the page is loaded first time. Here I use the following code in a html-modul on the page.
<script>
// Wählen Sie alle Elemente mit der Klasse “alert” aus
const alertElements = document.querySelectorAll(‘.alert’);
// Schleife durch alle Elemente und aktualisiere den Textinhalt
alertElements.forEach(alertElement ► {
let alertText = alertElement.textContent;
alertText = alertText.slice(0, -9);
alertElement.textContent = alertText;
});
</script>
But if you have more downloads then to be shown on the page, you have to change pages inside the download modul and then it is not working any more because the main page is not loading again.
And that is my big problem.
Best thing would be to get a configuration point where you can select if you want to have the time shown or not.
Greetings
Matthias
Currently running:
Download Manager Pro v6.3.5
WPDM – Amazon s3 v3.1.3
Issue
Front End – When download links are clicked they just open a blank new window
Back End – Downloads > Amazon S3, Settings > Cloud Storage, and Download Package > Select from Amazon S3 all hang on the Loading screen without returning the list of buckets and files
Testing
Reverted WPDM – Amazon s3 to v3.0.3 which resolves the issue on Front End, HOWEVER issue on Back End remains.
Hello Alchemy Lab,
Hope you are well. We do not have any parameter called empty_message
for the shortcode. You can check details here for other parameters,
[wpdm_category] – Query All Downloads From One or More Categories
However, for custom features or requirements, you can ask here with your details requirements,
Custom Upgrade Service
please check and let me know
Thank you and regards
I ask, because I have the Elementor addon that you developed installed.
I tried to create an Elementor theme for download manager categories and it’s not working.

I don’t know if I’m missing the conditions:

download manager categories are coming out looking like this:
https://pmo.administracaodotempo.com.br/download-category/aquario/
I am afraid to make this investment and not solve my problem.
Hello
There is another type of search function like the first one using the shortcode below
[wpdm_all_packages] – List all downloads in tabular format in a page

Hello Marina Toselli,
You should use Category Slug or Slugs
in the id parameter in your shortcode. However for showing categorized packages, you can also use,
[wpdm_all_packages] – List all downloads in tabular format in a page
[wpdm_packages] – WP_Query in a shortcode for download manager packages
these shortcodes. please explore the shortcodes parameter and the docs too. please check and let me know
Thank you again and regards
Hi Download Manager Pro
We have a problem with our PDF preview function. Often the PDF is just loaded as code, and other times it just doesn’t load the window. We’ve been through the different support tickets regarding this problem, but haven’t been able to find a solution. An example of a page where this problem occurs is this: https://lyngdorf.steinwaylyngdorf.com/downloads/lyngdorf-tdai-2170-fact-sheet/ – it works from time to time, but it often fails.
WordPress, plugins, themes and addons to WPDM are all updated. We have already troubleshooter if the problem is caused by other plugins, but that doesn’t seem to be the case (it still occurs even though we disable everything else than WPDM).
Do you have any solution to this problem?
