Hello neds steven,
Please use this free add-on and its one of the blocks called All Downloads Table
Gutenberg Blocks
Thus, I hope you will get your required feature
Thank you and regards
Hello,
A page illustrating the question is this one, which contains tables generated by Download Manager Pro, linking to download packages:
(https://www.anybodytech.com/resources/customer-downloads/)
All download packages require a user to be logged in.
The red “Login” button has the desired behavior, in that pressing it links to our login page, but with a redirect back to our download overview page after login (Example: https://www.anybodytech.com/my-account/?redirect_to=/resources/customer-downloads/)
The question is, if something like this is also possible for the links in the table (labeled “AnyBody Modeling System (64-bit version)”) directly to the download packages. Pressing one of these when not logged in just links to our login page like this:
(https://www.anybodytech.com/my-account/)
But we would have liked that it instead also put in a redirect argument in the URL like this:
(https://www.anybodytech.com/my-account/?redirect_to=/download/anybodysetup-7-4-1-8830_x64/)
But I have not found any settings where I can specify this, so I’m asking if it is possible?
I would expect that this should be somehow defined for the download packages and not the table itself, as the link directly to a download package could also appear elsewhere, and should also trigger a login-and-redirect-back if necessary.
I have the WPDM directory add on installed. I have made archive page with search field and catagory select.
Now my customer is asking if the catagory name can be displayed in the list with all downloads. Not only in breadcrumbs.
Also does the customer prefer accordion display. Can i use accordion add on together with directory add on.
Page has to look something like this.
[search] [choos catagory]
Catagory name 1 v
– catagory 1 download 1
– catagory 1 download 2
– catagory 1 download 3
Catagory name 2 >
It has been a while since I was in touch, and whilst we have made progress there are a few aspects that I would appreciate your help with please.
The Packages we have managed to upload and used a CSV file – however, there are still issues with fields; specifically ‘Tags’ which are not working?
1. we had issues with updating from wpdm 6.1.4 to 6.1.5 (so you reverted to 6.1.4) – the version now is wpdm 6.1.7 – can we safely update?!
There were issues with the theme design and also we are unable to run the plugin for Paid Memberships Pro – we have had to ‘deactivate’ but would like it to work!?
2. Ordering – managing ordering after uploading the downloads through shortcodes parameters – please see: https://nfpsoccer.co.uk/test-sort-1/
Whilst there is a very basic filter for ordering it does not ‘sort’ by numbering / title (we have tried adding a prefix (numbering or letter A,B,C) to the file name to help but that doesn’t do it!
a) Can you suggest how this can be achieved please?
b) how do we ‘style’ this page to give it a design presentation in keeping with the rest of the site?
(NB. We are getting this ‘warning message on the page you setup as a test – why?:
DataTables warning: table id=wpdmmydls-e45d644cd3815070c588c359807b09b2 – Cannot reinitialise DataTable. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/3)
Sorry to throw a lot at you – I hope you can help.
Ps. Sory if you received this before – it wasn’t clear that the ticket had been submitted!
Many thanks

Hi there,
sorry for the delay, I am using a theme builder (pro by theme.co)
I sent a ticket in to those guys as well and they have responded with;
‘you need to reach out to the developer of the downloads manager plugin and mention that the menu is changing or overriding the menu on the downloads page.‘
This site is several years old, and worked ok originally, at some point the menu has broken but just when you click a category.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Tony
This has highlighted a real issue with the WP Download Manager Pro downloads – it really needs an
archive of all previous versions, rather than just the latest version. We’ve had to hold back a
version of WP Download Manager Pro because of breaking changes in later versions and we’d like
to bisect exactly which version caused our problem and then we can report it. Not being able
to download intermediate versions means we can’t do that (or even move to the last working
version before the breakage).
Hi there, how can I change the template used inside each category folder (WPDM directory add-on)? On the demo page (first section of folders on https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/), when I click on ‘Free downloads – explore’, I see this (https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/downloads/free-downloads/). On my site, I see this when clicking ‘explore’: https://ibb.co/bPCvdTv
The items inside the category show as plain links. Ideally I want them to show as an icon, title and a download button, roughly like this: https://ibb.co/z409jMF
How can I change the template for what shows inside the category folder?
Hello neds steven,
Are you trying to get this type of table,
WPDM ALL DOWNLOADS
Please let me know
Thank you and regards
Hello @duhs-support,
Thank you for the login credentials.
About the upload size issue, some other plugins may be conflicting. Please try after disabling other third-party plugins.
Also, please try one more time after deactivating the Chunk Upload option. Here’s the reference screenshot: https://prnt.sc/-7KPnebm_XmT.
Regarding the Downloads > All Packages and click on a package (any package) issue.
I have checked your website, and it appears that several files are not loading from your server and throwing 500 (Internal Server Error).
Please check the reference screenshot: https://prnt.sc/-mTCRXIuIKRe.
Here is what you can do to check:
1. Please try switching to another theme, like Twenty Twenty-one, and check whether the issue persists or not. If not, then it is the theme that is causing the error.
2. Deactivate all plugins temporarily except WPDM and see if that solves the problem. Then, activate plugins one by one to see which plugin is causing the problem.
3. Try one more time after clearing your browser, website, and CDN caches if you have any. You may temporarily disable the caching plugin for testing.
If the problem still exists, please get in touch with your server admin regarding the 500 (Internal Server Error).
Please let me know how that goes. I will be happy to help with any further assistance you might need.
Yes, they are coming through a link template. Through Elementor specifically. Each package has downloads that are listed using [file_list]
Screenshots for reference.

Hello,
About two months ago, I started having trouble uploading certain PDFs to our website. I found that by reducing the size, they would upload. Now I cannot get anything to upload, despite reduced size.
Additionally, when I go to Downloads > All Packages and click on a package (any package), the page is always “thinking” and never fully loads, just keeps performing TLS handshake, waiting, and transferring data. Can someone help me with this, please?
Thanks.
Hi Nayeem,
Sorry for the late reply. I’ve already tried using the sample.csv but this was the cause of the problems in my initial post.
I had uploaded my downloads into the media manager and then linked to them in the ‘files’ column in the csv file. You then pointed out that this is why my downloads are opening as attachments rather than downloading to the user’s computer.
You said that the way around this is to use the ‘select from server’ button, but unless I’ve misunderstood, this would mean I can’t bulk upload using the csv file.
Essentially my question is: is it possible to bulk upload through a csv file while ensuring that any files will be downloaded rather than opening as an attachment?
Many thanks
Hello,
Hope you are well.
You have to use the parameter orderby to sort the downloads.
you can sort by title, download_count, date, modified ( update date ), or id, it’s an optional parameter.
for id parameter, if you want to show multiple categories, in case of multiple category slugs, should be separated by a comma.
For more details please check:
[wpdm_category] – Query All Downloads From One or More Categories
Thanks
Hello Flugsportclub Miltenberg,
We are using bootstrap for responsive designing. However, I think you are using a very small device? I have checked that, here the page approximately working fine
https://responsivedesignchecker.com/checker.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.edfu.de%2Fdownloads&width=414&height=736
please check and let me know.
Thank you and regards
Hi Nayeem,
thank you very much.
The URL (Downloads, Allpackages) is:
https://minakova.de/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wpdmpro
The URL to the Download of the package “Russisch für Anfänger” (for example) is:
Geschützt: Russisch für Anfänger 3./4. Auflage
If you click on the button Download and enter the correct password, you will still see “Please enter the correct password” – although
the download was successful! But people don’t know that they already have 3-4 downloads on their PC’s because after each download, they still see the text “Please enter the correct password”!
I’ll send you the passwords per email.
Thank you and best regards
Hello,
Hope you are well.
First of all set access to loggend in roles.
then
To remove password Make sure that the tick icon is blue colored. It it is, just click on it.
Also make sure there is no password set in attached single files:
Hope in this way you will be able to set the downloads members only and without passwords.
Thanks
Hello Stefanie,
You can use the below shortcode to set category page. That is better.
There is order_by parameter what you could use for shortcode:
[wpdm_category] – Query All Downloads From One or More Categories

Hello,
Sorry to see the issues.
However, WPDM is seo friendly but it doesn’t affect any seo related issues directly. The problem I found there is not related to WPDM. There could be other reasons. You have to just identify those. These are all seo-related issues that have no relation to WPDM. WPDM just deals with it’s own downloads. I think if you delete the wpdm plugin and related pages, you will see the same errors.
In this case, I would suggest you to follow the complete guide here I Hope following this will solve the issue.
Thanks

Hello Nick,
Hope you are well. And sorry for the inconvenience. For updating the WPDM main 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.
And for add-on updates, you can follow these steps,
1 ) Download the latest version from here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/?udb_page=purchases
2 ) Install the latest version and activate.
I hope it will work fine then. please let me know if you face such an issue
Thank you and regards
