Hi,
After this update ( 3.1.17 or 5.3.7 ), you may face the following 2 issues:
- Upload is not working
- Showing “Invalid File Type” error when trying to download
Here is the reason and solution:
<hr/>
From WPDM Free 3.1.20 and WPDM Pro 5.3.7, we have changed the file type validation process during file upload and download. Now, you have to white file types to allow them to upload or download. You will find the option at Admin Menu ► Downloads ► Settings ► Basic Settings Tab ► Upload Settings section.

Please add file types ( texts, multiple texts separated by a comma ) as shown on the marked image. And then save settings. The shall resolve the issue.
or, Just Keep it Empty for WordPress default use as I image attached

thus it may resolve the issue
thanks
I can’t access my downloads to be able to adjust them. Is there a way to access them without getting that error?

Hello,
I am wondering how to change the function of after logging in it will go automatically to My Downloads and not Profile. I cannot edit the slug because it will need a / after download-dashboard. I don’t know where the login destination is edited.

Hi Team,
From Membership page(https://www.smartzworld.com/downloads/membership/) if I click on checkout then the page is Blank – https://www.smartzworld.com/downloads/check-out/?wppm_task=checkout&plan_id=7749
In WordPress Dashboard for Membership plugin only paypal is available. I’ve added the addon instamojo payment gateway and configured it in wp premium membership but it is not showing instamojo and it is showing only the Paypal checkout option in Membership Pro profile page dashboard – https://www.smartzworld.com/downloads/dashboard/?udb_page=membership-plans.
It shows below error for paypal checkout: I think the currency should be INR for India.
{“name”:”UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY”,”message”:”The requested action could not be performed, semantically incorrect, or failed business validation.”,”debug_id”:”887c9644b45a0″,”details”:[{“location”:”body”,”issue”:”CURRENCY_NOT_SUPPORTED_FOR_RECEIVER”,”description”:”This currency cannot be accepted for this recipient’s account.”}],”links”:[{“href”:”https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/v1/billing/subscriptions#UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY”,”rel”:”information_link”,”method”:”GET”}]}
You shall get the option from Downloads > Settings > Quick Forms as I image attached,

also, you shall get an option in Downloads > Custom Fields
I hope it may help you
thanks

Hello,
Thank you for adding the new option to duplicate downloads in 5.3.4.
By default users with the role of Editor are unable to see the Duplicate link for each Download in the ‘All Packages’ list. Is there a way to turn this on for Editors?
Cheers,
James
We’ve had a lot of issues with the current update, and only with the help of support here have been able to make it work. Recently, a download limit of ‘3’ was applied to about 40% of our packages seemingly at random. We were able to fix this with a simple SQL query to replace the ‘3’ with ”. Easy enough. However, now when someone starts a download after agreeing to our T&C, the file downloads twice at the same time. Anyone have experience with this? Ive tried disabling “Parallel Downloads” as that was the only setting I could find that sounded remotely close, with no noticeable change. Please advise.
I have enabled captcha, but downloading is still allowed without using it.
I’ve activated Captcha via downloads / settings / basic.
Captcha is there. No errors.
But anyone can download without verification.
Help please.
