Search Results for 'all downloads'

I see you didn’t follow all steps. anyhow I’ve imported the old data

I was hoping that you were still online @Shaon I have been waiting 15 minutes to hear back from you…I do not understand what I am doing wrong. I created a folder on my server that has my free downloads, then I created a package using —> url/freedownloads/filename — what am I doing wrong that it does not download? Obviously it links to the file because the file opens in the browser, why isn’t the file automatically downloading? It automatically downloaded in the free version. The only reason I upgraded to paid version is because the video file I wanted to make available for download was too big — support in that forum told me that I had to get the pro version for bigger files, but now I’m running into problems that I didn’t have in the free version.

I am beyond frustrated with the level of service from the plugin and the support I’ve been receiving. If the plugin was free I could understand, but $45 for such inconsistent and unhelpful answers feels awful. If you cannot answer my simple question then please issue me back a credit for the plugin.

you need to edit the file wpdm-all-downloads.php for that

Sorry for delayed reply, we had some issue with server. Anyhow please delete free version, then Download and Install v4.0.7 as marked in following image:

Now, use attached add-on to migrate data from free pro:
1) Install add-on
2) go to Downloads Settings Migrate tab

I’m trying to install the migration add-on, but it is asking for ftp info

Well no Shaon, I’ve upgraded to 4 and fixed everything. It took me all day and into the night last night, but it’s done. I moved the “featured” images into the description, because I can control my template with the image in the description which I couldn’t do with the featured image.

It seems wrong to make a change of a preview image into a forced featured image (especially when the featured image becomes so huge on the page, it needs to be centered) if people didn’t set those things up in the first place. The other problem is, that one needs a featured image now in order to use a gallery, and that’s not going to work for me either, so I’ll do without that, however, I did make a list of the changes other people will need to make when they upgrade to 4.0

Migration does the following:

Moves Preview image to Featured Image (not cool)
Will need to reset all categories
Reset Expirations
Reset Custom Fields
Enable Downloads for individual file
Upload any special icons you had previously so they will show up. (especially if you have your own) if you don’t upload ones you had added yourself, you’ll need to reset those. (Because upgrading deleted the files, it deleted anything you would have added as well as a file-icon.

Most likely you will need to redesign your custom template. (Even tho it will still see the template, the change of preview image to featured image, and custom fields will change how your download pages display.

Blue download button (where did my old one go)?

I realize this is the wrong topic, but I’m not going to pay for a customization for a feature I use to have in 3.8.

The other thing is, I did contact you about my issue with the expiration date not working and you wrote me back telling me to upgrade to 4.0. I really took that as a “no” I’m not going to fix a 3.8 script.

So all is well again, I’ve fixed my display, I’ve fixed my images, my categories are all reset, my expirations back in place, my custom fields are all setup again, individual downloads are all reset, why would I go back?

List of short-code is available here too http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/docs/list-of-download-manager-pro-short-codes/
for download buttons, download and install image button add from here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/downloads/add-ons/ , there are also some other free add-ons.

I’d prefer to have preview image back. Part of the reason I didn’t use the featured image option is because of the big huge picture it puts on the download page. This is a HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE thing for me, and I don’t want it there. The whole reason I created a template as well was to place the preview image where I wanted it and part of the reason I stayed in 3.8 was because things worked the way I liked them. Now that I’ve upgraded to 4.0 per your email, I’m having to re-do every download page, to enable individual downloads, add a expiration, deal with the image and even tho the migration brought the templates I designed over, the download page isn’t showing them as I had them previously. Plus as someone who owned the custom fields module for 3.8, I have to reset all my custom fields and I am NOT a happy camper. Part of the point in upgrading should not be all the work involved to redo these pages. I don’t have the time for this and I’m just a tiny site, I am sure all of those with 1000’s of downloads are also not happy campers. I just don’t have time for this.

How can the files be set to download automatically without getting out of the page to a download page? I tried upgrading to version 4 and i could not find my way around since support team was not available… I need to know how to do these things and which files I have to change to get my downloads work without taking me to another download page

yes we would also like to get a notification when someone downloads (even a bcc of the email they get would be helpful) otherwise I have to constantly log into the website and look to see who is newly signed up — if their email address could automatically be added to a mailchimp list that would be fabulous!
