Normally, in WP when I go to my “Downloads” (for WPDM) I see my list of documents and a column that showed the shortcode for each document. That column is gone and I can’t find the shortcode anywhere for my individual documents. Please advise.
https://www.screencast.com/t/6xJnmDJ5loMp Where is my missing column? Or, where have the shortcodes been moved?
Thank you.

Hello!
On a client site, we use the download manager, with which we offer about 300+ downloads.
On the page “Downloads” all documents are divided into different categories. As soon as I switch to the second page of a category, the page is reloaded and I am back at the top of the page. This is quite annoying when you have about 10 categories and have to search for the right area again.
Therefore the question: Is it possible to display the second page of a category without reloading the page? Or if the page is reloaded, does it automatically scroll back to the category where you clicked on page 2?
I would be very happy to hear from you!
Thank you very much & best regards,
Manuel
I’ve got it fixed! Thanks to your tip about the version I thought about checking my custom wpdm-all-downloads.php file in my child-theme.
It contained old code, just copied the new code from the latest version into that file and tested it.
It’s now working, the download link shows as:
<a class="wpdm-download-link download-on-click btn btn-primary " rel="nofollow" href="#" data-downloadurl="https://linkhere.com">Downloaden</a>
Thanks for the quick reply!
The website is private and I cannot make it public in an instance.
The download links have the following HTML:
<a class="wpdm-download-link wpdm-download-locked" rel="nofollow" href="#" onclick="location.href='https://linkhere';return false;"><i class=""></i>Downloaden</a>
The link is created by this code in my custom wpdm-all-downloads.php file:
<td class="pdf-file">
<small>
<?php
$number_files = count($data['files']);
if ($number_files == 0){
echo "<span style='color:#cccccc'>Niet beschikbaar</span>";
} else {
echo "(" . $number_files . ") " . $download_link;
}
?>
</small>
</td>
The $download_link outputs the HTML with the classes: “wpdm-download-link wpdm-download-locked”.
What is the right way to remove them?
I’ve found a few parts of this code in the wpdm-functions.php file, but it won’t change when I edit it and place it in my Child-theme.
Thanks again!
Please simply click the Save Settings again for the license key option from Downloads > Settings > License, which will regenerate the access token. Finally, go to the plugins page and the update will work fine this time
and for add-on for now,
1 ) Download the latest version from here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/?udb_page=purchases
2 ) Install the latest version
thanks
I have checked that Downloads > All Packages is working fine from your side with your login credentials, can you please adjust the option appending with this parameter, edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=wpdmpro
in your URL for the attached screenshot, please check and let me know
thanks

Hi Nayeem, that was just an example of what we wanted. We would like to be able to see ALL the downloads like that page with the numbers to click through at the bottom eg. “Showing 1 to 8 of 103 downloads. Previous12345…13Next” as well as the search function and “display” dropdown at the top.
This is the page we are working on: https://verbrec.com/wpdm-test/
Same problem – tracking/history was fine until December 11, 2020. That was the last tracking and we know there were downloads during promotion periods. Did a WordPress update mess this up? WordPress, theme, and all plugins are up-to-date.

I have just renamed the current download-manager folder under plugins and added the old folder.
This means that the individual files, which have always been in folders, open perfectly in the browser with the [download_link_dynamic] in functions.php.
This works for the individual download buttons as well as in the download archive with all available downloads.
As soon as I rename the old download-manager folder again and activate the new one, it no longer works and the files are zipped and downloaded.
Again for reference, the old version was Download Manager Special Pack and the new Download Manager Pro v5.3.
What has changed so much between these two versions?

Hello,
after adjusting the “wp_memory_limits” it basically worked. However, now, about a month later, I get an error message again.
When I click on the item “Downloads” in the BackEnd, I get another error message:
—
There was a critical error on your website. Please check the inbox of your website administrator email address for further instructions.
—
I have a hunch that it’s because of a particular download file. When I add it to a page, the page no longer runs. Is there a way to delete downloads without using the BackEnd? Maybe via FTP or WP CLI?
As soon as I deactivate the plugin, everything works without problems.
I would be very happy if you could take a look at this. The access data to the website as well as FTP data can be found in this ticket above.
I would be very happy about a feedback!
Kind regards,
Manuel Schöttle
Hi,
That’s due to your theme structure. There instead of using a direct category URL, you may use a category shortcode on a page.
Docs:
[wpdm_category] – Query All Downloads From One or More Categories
Or category block ( Gutenberg editor )
Gutenberg Blocks
Downloads on other sites work fine with the Chrome browser.
If you work without the AGB option, the download also works flawlessly with the download plug-in.
I think there is an error in the popup window that opens for the terms and conditions.
If this option is offered, it must also work with all browsers.
What’s next?

Hello,
I’m using WPDM for ebooks, capturing the user’s name and email.
I’m using the page template for WPDM.
What I need is to capture one more variable (in addition to the name and e-mail) every time someone downloads an ebook.
I use an IP recognition tool that shows me the user’s country and that is what I need to register with each download.
And the country should appear in Stats, so I can filter all downloads per country.
Any ideas?
Tks!!!
I have a similar challenge/question with the Pro plugin.
I created a new template “ADG1” and wish this to be used as the default for all link shortcodes eg for
[wpdm_package id='31402'][wpdm_package id='31403'][wpdm_package id='31404'][wpdm_package id='31405']
There are 370 downloads on the website, so I don’t to have to insert the parameter template= into each shortcode, but I cannot find a config screen that let’s me choose which template is used as the default for these wpdm_package links.
I also don’t want to overwrite the default template folder directory in the plugin because this gets over-written during updates.
Please could you help?
Chris
