Hi,
I have a problem, and it is that I have to update the links of several downloads. I have a separate form linked to each download with MailChimp.
The problem with editing a download link is that it takes only the last 5 forms created. And I must do it with 20 downloads.
I had many tickets with you but the problem that all the forms will be shown in the select was never resolved, it has a limit of 5.
Therefore, I was thinking of changing these links from the database, check the phpmyadmin, but there is no table with this information, I want to know where these parameters are stored in the database to edit.
There are only package id statistics tables.
I await your comments,
Thank you
I bought a lazy download. But I want to perform the downloads on a new page. I will make the page myself. Who can help me. I love you all. Excuse me for my English.
Why the search filter doesn’t filtering correctly?
eg: searching for “test” filters all the articles on the site and not just the files included in the downloads.
can you help me solve?

I tired to “disable the single file download button” in settings that did not work?
Perhaps if I can explain how we are hoping the Downloads will work – then you can advise:
There are 3 main Categories: 1. Junior Coaching / 2. Youth Coaching / 3. Senior Coaching
each has a number of sub-categories, for example:
1. Junior Coaching
1a. Fun Practices and Warm Up Activities
1b. Technical and Skill Practices : Under 11 years old
1c. Game Related Practices
1d. Small Sided Games : Understanding 5v5 / 7v7
1e. Youth Academy Diary : Under 8 years old
In each of the sub-categories there will be a number of ‘individual sessions’ = download ‘Packages’ for the subscriber to choose from.
These Packages are sequential – so need to be organised from 1 > 100 +
Also: The sub-category ‘Packages’ should also be available to download as a ‘Group of Sessions’ – using the multiple ‘zipped files’ option.
Hope that is clear?
How do we best configure Download Manager to deliver this – PLEASE?
Thanks

Hi – Thanks for you reply
I’ve just had to do a restore from backup because the site lost all the ‘formatting’?!- which has lost all of the download files and Packages I added this morning.
Do you have any ideas why
1. wpdm 6.1.5 when will this happen? Can I go back to the previous version?
2. Ordering is a different issue. You can manage ordering after uploading the downloads through shortcodes parameter or in other ways in the page you will show the downloads.
Sorry I don’t understand Please could you explain?
Thanks

Hi
i am using teh following shortcode
[wpdm_all_packages login=0 thumb=1 items_per_page="20" categories="slug1,slug2,..." jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="ASC/DESC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Update Date|Download::155px"]
which is meant to list all the available downloads
Howeve its not treturning any results. install is a defaultinstall of WP DownloadManager Pro v 6.15 and I have teh extended shortcodes plugin activaed as well
So, I initially gave a lot of potential options that I am looking for that would solve my issue. Can you speak specifically to which of these options this combination of add-ons would accomplish? I’m not seeing anything in my reading about them that gives me assurance that they would either:
- Create sorting functionality by expiration in the list view of all packages
- Notify a specific administrator that a file is approaching expiration
- Automatically turn the download into a draft following expiration
I need to know with certainty that I can receive a report or sort my downloads to know which ones are expired or about to expire and these add-ons are not making that clear. They also don’t say that I can get a refund if they don’t accomplish what I’m looking for, so I need to know going in how specifically the add-ons will accomplish my needs.
Hello maurizio,
Hope you are well. According to the doc,
https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/
For [wpdm_category] shortcode, you have to put in the id parameter category slug or slugs. please check.
Thank you and regards

I am using WPDM and the ACF add-on to rebuild the document management system of a site with specific presentation requirements and hundreds of existing downloads. Both [wpdm-all-packages] and [wpdm-packages] give me most of the required results, but neither gives all. How would you advise me to proceed?
More to follow in a private reply.

There was previously a version of the plugin on the site that allowed us to give access to packages only to Select Members. There was an input field directly below the ‘Allow Access:’ that allowed this on the Package Settings (within an individual package).
Steps to get there:
Downloads -> All Packages -> Edit a single Package -> Package Settings at the bottom
/wp-admin/post.php?post=15216&action=edit
How can we enable that setting again to allow ourselves the ability to select members individually to give packages to? My colleague asked the same question around November 24, 2021.
Ladies and Gentleman,

I added toolbar=”0″ and it is ok now.
Took a little while digging through the docs pages to figure it out.
https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/
before I go is there anyway to make the create package page a lot more simple. I really only need title upload file select category and publish. Any direction you can provide to do that?
Thanks
Hello,
If you want the user to be prompted to save the data you are sending, such as a generated PDF file, you can use the » Content-Disposition header to supply a recommended filename and force the browser to display the save dialog.
header("Content-Type: {$filetype['type']}");
header("Content-disposition: attachment;filename=\"$filename\"");

Adding this codes in functions.php will work fine. But before that please make sure if firefox do the downloads as you want. for that you can manually try to add any pdf file and add that code manually without any php variable.
However, If you want to force download, please always attach the file using the server file browser or upload directly using wpdm.
Thanks
Hello Nayeem. Thank you for your assistance.
What I am experiencing is when creating an upload, You enter the Title and click the Create Button. It takes around 24 seconds to open the next page for the file and it’s info. That occurs while the “spinner” is showing the site working on opening the page.
Or…. I simply click the “Create” button and nothing happens. No spinner, no page change only the “hover” effect, clicking does nothing.
Also, when going to the Uploads Dashboard, then clicking the edit icon for any package, I experience the exact same thing as above with the “Create”. If it opens the page, then when I click the “Update Package” button, every time I have tried clicking Update button does nothing aside from the Hover effect.
I have tried deactivating just about every plugin and I did not find any that improved my experience. My internet access is exceptionally fast at 1G. I experience the same on my phone. I experience the same if I change users also. I’ve cleared cache, I logged in from another network and same experience. I am hopeful given the fact I can see the package you uploaded.
Thank you for your time, assistance and understanding. I am grateful for any help you have to offer. Please help me to get my 10 year old Joomla/jDownloads transferred website working optimally so I can reopen after a month of work.
Thank you.
Stay healthy, stay safe.

Hello,
Hope you are well.
Actually there is no exact addon of us according to your requirements.
However, you can check our below addon where you will be able to set downloads based on the specific users.
Advanced Access Control
In this case you can select users using their registered email or user name registered to your website and set the available downloads for individual users.
Thanks
Hello,
Basically, we’re after a way where a front-end visitor is shown the correct software download, based upon input that the visitor supplies.
There is a single Hardware Product that has been built and sold for quite a few years. The most recent versions of said hardware use different chips compared to older versions. And this has resulted in two different (but concurrent) versions of the software updates. With the actual unit hardware looking and acting identically to the human eye, then the customer would be blissfully unaware of which chipset their unit is using and thus which download is relevant.
Our client has a database of serial numbers and which serial is either old-or-new version. So, basically, is there a way within WPDM where the site visitor could be made to manually input their product’s serial number and this would be checked against the said database and then the relevant version of software download displayed?
I know that the above is sounding very “bespoke”, but I’m hoping there’s something I’m missing within WPDM that could be used to achieve this?
Thanks!
Hello Paul,
In our testing environment the below setting is working perfectly and it is creating a package instantly.

However, I would suggest you to check other options too in this settings page if those are properly set also update wpdm and all related addons of wpdm you are using to the latest version. Current version of wpdm is 6.1.4 . Make sure you are using that. If you can’t update the plugin and addons from your website, just update from here.
If the issue still persists and you are worried about sharing the credentials of your live website, could you please create a staging site with identical settings and share the credentials for that. This way we can debug things in the exact same environment as your live site.
Here is a video to help you create a staging site – Link to the Video.
Looking forward to resolving your issue asap.
Hello Nicolas,
Hope you are well. For the download limit resetting, you can check these options as I image attached,


Resetting from Downloads > Settings and from Users > All Users section, please check and let me know
Thank you and regards
Hello,
I have a page set to allow users to upload pdf files for a resources directory of files. When the user adds the package it is listed in the downloads admin page as pending and the files are not going live on the shortcode page to display them immediately. I have searched the settings but either missed it or just can’t figure out how to make the file published right away without an admin having to publish it. Any suggestions or instruction on how to get the files to be published?
I do see this setting in the settings page but it is already set as it should be or how you would think it should work but user uploads are getting posted as pending and I have to as an admin go to the all packages page and publish each file?

Hi Tom,
In addition to the previous reply, I want to let you know that specifically, you can use the [wpdm_category] shortcode.
Apart from that, if you want a more aesthetic look and additional functionality then you can check our WPDM Directory Add-on demos.
WPDM Directory Add-on
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this.
