You can deactivate the gutenberg editor from here Downloads > settings > General. Here is a screenshot for your assistance.
First of all, make sure that you have selected the login and register page from the settings.screenshot
When a user logs in, they are redirected to the dashboard page like this. If you want to create a separate page to display all your files, you can use our shortcodes.
Good morning, I would like to know why your plugin appears in this way and not with a normal editor, I think it activates guttemberg?
I am also trying to configure your plugin, I do not understand how after login have a page that displays all available downloads. I have to create a landing page but how? Currently I have created those indicated in the manual i.e.:
Login Page
Register page
User Dashboard
Autor Dashboard
I do not understand the logic well, I imagine that after a login page it should display the catalog of downloadable gfiles right? and how do I create this self-generating page? (then I will filter the visibility to users with the Membership plugin), the important thing is to understand with which page to display the products. I wanted to see how you had done in your demo area but user and password do not work.
This shortcodes doesnt work with the search bar. I need to configure the categories in 1 column, 20 downloads per view and with the search bar, but when i activate tool bar the system says “EMPTY” when is not empty the category. please try and solve, in need this operative.
Here you can use the parameter order_by and order to show in order. Also you will be able to show top downloads by using parameter download_count. Please kindly check.
What are downloads great for? Product manuals. Location maps. Destination details. LOADS of documentation assets that NEED to be associated with _relevant content_.
MANY webmasters _already use_ the native WordPress “Post Tags” for their content, (I use the example of products that need user manuals associated). Several clients I work with sell products and use POST Tags to associate all sorts of related content to their product, such as the (downloadable) user manual, as well as user reviews or testimonials, etc. ALL OF THE Webmasters in my Groups tell me they do the SAME thing – associate all sorts of related content using Post Tags.
NOTE: I’ll reiterate, since you’re slow to understand – THEY USE NATIVE POST TAGS TO ASSOCIATE RELATED CONTENT.
Your plugin adds a custom taxonomy, but REMOVES the support for Post Tags – that makes NO SENSE AT ALL. It’s fine if you want to ADD custom Tags (but not “force” it on users) but removing support for native Post Tags is simply DUMB.
They would LOVE to use a plugin like yours to be able to easily track downloads as well as take advantage of some of the other nice features your plugin includes, but THEY WON’T USE IT BECAUSE IT LACKS SUPPORT FOR POST TAGS!
I am NOT asking for a “individual setting based on user preferences” – I am asking for a VERY BASIC FEATURE that I could see being left out of a free plugin but not a PREMIUM plugin!!
If you don’t WANT valuable feedback like this from real users and developers, THEN WHY BOTHER WITH A FEATURE REQUEST FORUM?!?!
I’m done. Add it or don’t. I’m NOT GOING TO EFFING PAY YOU TO DO SOMETHING YOU SHOULD DO FOR THE BENEFIT OF YOUR USERS!
I’m also done promoting your plugin to others. I’m done giving it good reviews. I’m going to search for a competitor product and promote that instead.
I hope you’re doing well, and thank you for reaching out.
The responsive table derives from the all_packages shortcode, listing all packages/downloads. To display specific categories, utilize the categories variable. For issues regarding questions 2, 3, and 4, kindly share your wp-login credentials in a private message so we can investigate further.
Your drozone and layout issue maybe resolved now. For dropzone I have adjusted Downloads > Settings > Frontend Access> Author Dashboard Allowed User Roles to Create Package From Front-end & Front-end Administrator Rolesand for layout issue I have added some CSS on Customizer > Additional CSS section. Now for exporting packages issue it is giving critical error while exporting, can you share the PHP error log details or can adjust settings here https://dtctuning.com/wp-admin/index.phpPHP Error log thus I can check which error is coming. Please kindly check.
Hello,
we update our downloads 1ce a month and gibe the user access to it to specific dates. works well so far.
My problem is that in former times see here picture one there was no download button when here is no download at the moment avialable. Than there was a message when the download is wvailable.
Now (2nd picture and 3rd of the document) all downloads will have imidiately a download button even if the download is not available now. Than the message will appear on the next page.
We want the old desgin (picture 1) again. How can we change this?
Hope you are well. Thanks for writing to us. Form email lock subscriber you can get subscriber list from Downloads > Subscribers, then you can create manually the user account from WP System. Please kindly check and let me know.
I’m trying to figure out why the download count for “Guest” download count is so high. All my download packages are locked to only people with an account. So I don’t understand why guests are able to download items on my site and why is so high compared to real users that show on the history report.
Here is a screenshot of the stats of the last 24 hours. The download count for “Guest” shows 575 downloads.
OK so thats the pagination. But we want to show all downloads at once, one page, no pagination. Is this also the Bridge Core Plugin or is it the Download Manager. I am talking about the limitation of 50 items.
Thank you so far for looking into it.
PS: Found the pagination setting, our customer is happy with it. Case closed 🙂 Thank you
Hi there,
I have a problem with one of our categories, the settings for all categories are the same everywhere.
But in that one category are 149 downloads and only 50 are shown.
Where is that set? And as far as I can remember we did not have that problem last year.
Any help or hint would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dirk
I’ve been a longtime subscriber to WordPress Download Manager and am currently using the Pro tier. I’ve set it up to require users to register and have a membership to access and download files, restricting access to logged-in users with a specific role. I’ve ensured Allow Access to the packages are set to the correct role for all my download packages.
However, when I check the download stats, I’m seeing a significant number of downloads logged under the “Guest” user category—far more than expected, with high daily activity. This suggests that guests might be bypassing my restrictions, and I’m worried there could be an issue with the privacy settings or a misconfiguration.
Could you please help me troubleshoot this? I’d like to confirm that only registered, logged-in members can download files and that guest access is completely blocked.
I started the installation steps on the page you mentioned, but the Bootstrap 4 option is not in downloads>settings>user interface.
I can’t proceed because I can’t complete this step.
Hope you are well. Thanks for writing to us. For a Download Manager setup experiencing high-volume download issues with PHP-FPM, you can try these specific recommendations to improve performance and prevent lockups:
Here’s a comprehensive guide to optimize PHP-FPM for WordPress Download Manager (WPDM) during high-volume downloads:
6. Additional Performance Improvements
– Install and configure a caching plugin
– Use Redis or Memcached
– Implement a CDN for large files
– Consider using nginx over Apache
7. After Making Changes, Restart PHP-FPM
# For Ubuntu/Debian
sudo systemctl restart php8.x-fpm
# For CentOS/RHEL
sudo systemctl restart php-fpm
8. Monitor Performance
# Monitor PHP-FPM processes
htop
# Check PHP-FPM status
systemctl status php8.x-fpm
# Monitor error log
tail -f /var/log/php-fpm/error.log
9. Fine-Tuning Notes
– Adjust pm.max_children based on your server’s RAM
– Formula: max_children = (Total RAM – Reserved RAM) / Max PHP process size
– Monitor server resources and adjust values accordingly
– Keep an eye on the slow log for potential bottlenecks
Remember to:
– Test in a staging environment first
– Make one change at a time
– Monitor the impact of each change
– Keep backups of all configuration files
We are currently debugging our sites performance, and according to “Query Monitor” the WPDM plugin is adding a lot of page load time by executing a lot of SQL queries. On our page with 12 download packages, it is sending 121 SQL queries which accumulates to 515MS added time to page load.
The 12 downloads are with the Gutenberg block. The template is not displaying any statistics of number of previous downloads, but it seems the plugin is fetching statistics for every download block, adding 12 uncached sql queries and 242MS of TTFB time alone. (Please see my attached screenshot).
Secondly, there are 60 SQL queries to wp_comments table adding another 97MS of TTFB. These queries are also completely unnecessary for us – we don’t allow comments.
Thirdly, query monitor also warns about duplicate queries when fetching the download data itself from wp_postmeta.
I fully understand – my issue is that you clearly dont understand the issue – no matter how many times I explain it – with detailed use cases.
THE ISSUE ISN’T HIDING THE URL!!! THE ISSUE IS THAT THE DOWNLOAD URL – WHICH PROTECTS NON .EXE FILES WITH THE CORRECT FILE PERMISSIONS – ISNT DOING THE SAME FOR .EXE DOWNLOADS!!!!!!!
Can you please pass this issue over to a developer who has the skillset to resolve the bug please!! You do not understand the problem at all and keep palming me off with answers that are not relevant.
Additionally to my comments above I just discovered two more bugs with this block.
Tags don’t work like I would expect in this block:
1. If you put in the Tag Column the links that appear of the tag don’t actually link anywhere, but if you are on a package details page they work as expected so something in your block is breaking or removing the tag links.
2. If you use the all downloads table block and try to query filter by a tag nothing happens. No content is displayed. I tried with the slug and the tag title.

Topic: Shortcode for category
paul orford
Hi
I am trying to create a page that displays the downloads available in one category.
I am using the following shortcode
[wpdm_category id="constitution-strategies" title="Constitution and Strategies" desc="Category Description" toolbar="1" paging="1" orderby="field name" order="asc or desc" items_per_page="10" template="Template ID" cols=4 colspad=2 colsphone=1 async=1]
All I can see on the page is where the downloads should be, (I think), its says Template ID.php
Thanks
