Search Results for 'all downloads'

Hello,

Thank you for writing to us.

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 manually update the plugin and the settings will not be removed.

Regards

Hi,
Your used template name ( template="Single Column with Doc Preview" ). But there you need to use template ID ( template="link-template-calltoaction3" ).

Please read:
https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/

Hello,

Available shortcode to make a table using wpdm is below:

demo: https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/package-list-in-responsive-table/

Also you may use wpdm custom field for adding custom values

Advanced Custom Fields

For testing these, you can test from below:
https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/wp-admin

For any other custom requirements to use for multiple languages, you need our customization service from here

Hello,

Yes, you can modify the shortcode and put the parameter as orderb="download_count", which will show the most downloaded packages, or orderb="date" to show the most recently uploaded packages.

Example: [wpdm_category id="Category Slug or Slugs" operator="IN" title="Custom Title Here or 1" desc="Custom Description or 1" toolbar="1" paging="1" orderby="date" order="asc" items_per_page="10" template="Template ID" cols=4 colspad=2 colsphone=1 async=1]

For additional parameters and details please check our docs: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/

@Shahjada, I’ve already customized the link and page templates to create new defaults, and while it’s great that I can clone and then edit templates (yay!), I can’t find a way to specify the new templates to be used as my new “defaults” nor to bulk-edit my assets to specify the new defaults, it looks like I’ll have to manually edit my hundreds of downloads to do that…..sigh…

BUT on THIS issue of the base URL, I see that in the plugin’s main file there are lines that setup the slug variable, in download-manager.php on line 289 there is this:

 $tslug = get_option('__wpdm_purl_base', 'download');
        if(!strpos("_$tslug", "%"))
            $slug = sanitize_title($tslug);
        else
            $slug = $tslug;

and then a few lines further down, line 304, is the rewrite argument for the CPT that uses that variable.

I tried commenting those out but then the plugin inserted “wpdmpro” into the URL and did NOT use my category. 🙁

I’ve already had to hack this file to add support for post_tags, which is critical for us, we can’t do without the Post Tags applied to each asset, so as long as I’m hacking it, can you tell me if you think this part of the code is causing the problem?

Hello Rowan Stewart,

The Downloads menu procedure will not work on all web servers.
However, You can also download them from here. And you can upload and install it as a normal plugin.

please check and let me know

Thank you and regards

Thank you @shahjada I truly appreciate your ongoing help, but this is not working.

While my (non downloads) Pages are working (no more 404s) none of the downloads are actually accessible, I get a 404 on those when I try to “view” them from the Downloads overview page in the back end, and the front-facing page where I have the shortcode to display the list by category shows nothing, just the (added by WPDM) search and filter bar, no listing below even though I’m certain I have the categories set for each download and the short code entered correctly (it was working fine before, no changes to the shortcode and the category ID has not changed).

In order to get the category name in the URL, but not the word “download”, I used both snippets of code you’ve provided – the one way above that sets up the variable %wpdmcategory% and the code just above to filter out ‘download’ when parsing.

All downloads show the correct URL structure in the back end (mysite.com/wpdmcategoryname/assetname) but can’t be accessed on the front end.

And honestly I’ll tell you that this should not be a “paid” customization. I was told in the forum for the free version that by upgrading to the Pro version I’d be able to control the URL base, this is not what I call “controlling the URL base”.

I’m fortunate to also be a developer, I’ve been working with WP since pre-version 1, and have developed many themes and a few custom plugins myself…….I cannot imagine the frustration of someone trying to do this without my background, I’m extremely frustrated by this and deeply unhappy…..

To be honest, I don’t even understand why your plugin works so hard to NOT let a user control the URL…..

I’m going to keep messing with this for one more day, after that if I can’t get it working I will request a refund and just go back to Download Monitor.
