I’ve been using the plugin for around two years and noticed a problem with the download count.
Although the amount correctly increases each time I download the frontend file, the total downloads displayed in each package are exorbitantly higher than the actual amount. I’m the only admin and I’m sure no one has manually changed this amount.
This counter shows more than 8 thousand downloads, but there are only a few dozen hits on this page in the last 2 years.
I also noticed that the History and Stats admin page shows an exorbitant number of daily downloads (in my case, more than 5 thousand per day). But the site is rarely visited, I have less than 50 visitors per month!
What can I do to fix this bug? Could this count be a bot/crawler hit?
I imagine the download lock might help, at the same time I can’t use any of Google’s solutions because the site is hosted in Europe and the company’s GDPR prohibits me from using tools outside the EU.
Thanks. im trying to create a new topic for another question, it doesnt allow me
The below code is pasted on function.php
It allows us to automatically send a notification via email when a visitor downloads a file from WPDM on Website.
I have pasted the below code on function.php, however, I found out that it is only able to display a single character for the field “Company” when it is sent notification email (the field is an extra field created using Advanced Custom Fields.) refer screenshot below.
i have check all the script it was fine. is there anything wrong with the core code? or bugs?
Hi,
So you want to display downloads only when the user clicks on a category. In other words, want to stop loading all packages when the page loads.
It is not possible out of the box but with minor code adjustments, you can implement it. As long as this feature is not added to the add-on you have to make these changes after each update of the addon ( if you update the addon ).
In /plugins/wpdm-archive-page/assets/js/scripts.js file comment the line no 353 as shown in the following screenshot,
Also, add the following CSS to your customizer’s Custom CSS option,
Download Manager not working. It doesn’t show as option to see files in wordpress media library or on posts.
Then when i go to downloads and show files i upload i cant download them. I get this message: Package you are trying to download is not available!
Also when i go to all files i can see any of my cloud library files.
The reason i brought this plugin was for offload media files, images, and other assets from your WordPress server to pCloud storage.
Hope you are well. For updating the WPDM PRO 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
Bug: If you click “Tigo Energy” in the categories and then “Leistungsoptimierer”, suddenly all downloads appear instead of just those under Performance optimizer (or tigo energy)
hi, I have 2 question to ask
Question 1. how do i add a drop-down menu to filter out catagories of each items. since i have many files and videos it would be nice that i could allow my visitor to filter the items based on the media they wan to find. example as below screnshot..
Question 2. Im trying to change the CSS of this page. https://nswautomation.com/NSW/dashboard/?udb_page=my-downloads
it is not overwriting, even i used “!important”, i have tried to change it on appearance -> customize. it doenst work either.
i have also followed https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/how-to-add-custom-css-in-wordpress/ it doesnt seem to change anything.
Hope you are well. To restrict certain files/packages with roles, you can check your File/Package > Package Settings > Allow Access option. For more details, you can check the doc here, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/add-new-package/package-settings/allow-access-access-control-option/. And setting login required message You can check Downloads > Settings > Basic > Login Required Message section.

Any idea? its happening to downloads across my entire site, particularly older downloads
When the captcha link opens the popup it isn’t centered on the screen and you have to click the download button 2 times before the file actually downloads. This only seems to happen when on an iPhone though… could you please help?
Unfortunately I am not getting the issue.
I have deleted all files from your csv and kept only one file to take care properly. But that still is not working to load the preview.
On the other hand, I have created another csv from the sample file that is working properly.
However, I am sharing that, I will suggest to modify and add your columns there with necesary changes. Also keep the fields as it is which are not need. At first I will suggest to add one/two downloads to check if it works properly.
The PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature error is usually displayed by WordPress as a result of one of three things: There’s an issue with the zip file you’re uploading. WordPress doesn’t have enough memory on the web server to unzip and upload the contents of the zip file.

Hi Humayon,
I have purchased and installed the pro plugin. I’m still not seeing the function working. I have clicked “open in new window”, unchecked “open in browser” and I have also additionally checked “Disable Auto Download”. Still though, when I check the captcha it automatically downloads in the same window.
Please set up cron to auto-clean cache and session data. You can copy the cron URL from Downloads Settings Privacy and for the cron setup details instruction you shall find it here,
