I would like to have a list of users with login (email) and password (preassigned, not changable by user). This list contains users of two categories, ProUser1 and ProUser2 (categories). These categories shall define which files a user can download (personal download page).
So when I define downloads, they will belong to e.g. category ProUser1 oder ProUser2 (or others).
How do I do this?
Thank you
For PRO main plugin, Please put your correct license key in Downloads > Settings > License key and press Save Settings again. After that try to update again.
If that not works..
1 ) Download the latest version from here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/?udb_page=purchases
2 ) Install the latest version and activate the license key.
Thanks.
Hi Nayeem.
The functionality is not behaving as expected. We are using [wpdm_category] shortcode which SHOULD include three categories, but only one is showing. If I shuffle the order of the category slugs around in the short code, it always shows the first category.
Am I doing something wrong? or is something else not working properly?
We want this page to essentially show ALL the potential downloads and be sorted with the filter bar. There is potential they will want them grouped by category also. Is it possible to show all of the items, grouped by category, but filterable by one filter bar at the top? Should we use a different shortcode to display this? Also, we are using a custom layout template also, which may or may not need to be displayed with the wpdm_category shortcode.
thanks
Yes, possible, you can reset download stats from Downloads > Settings > Privacy > Delete All Stat Data as I image attached,
thanks
I have the same problem. My files is originally 600 MB and lots of our clients are angry that it is corrupted. The problem is that when they download it via WP Download Manager plugin, if browser starts the download, it will stop at exactly 500 MB. But if they start the download with IDM, it downloads the file intact. I tested it many times and it seems that WPDM only allows each connection to download up to 500 MB and since IDM breaks the download in 8 connection, it’s fine.
I played with every parameter in WPDM settings and nothing solved this problem.
And I’m sure that there is no problem with WordPress or server because I can download the file with browser from direct link.
I would be so thankful if you could give us a working solution.

there is no conflict with plugins.
Its WPDMPRO that do not count downloads at all. I guess I have to find a solution by myself, as all the others problems with your soft.
We are using DIVI, that also have not conflict with WPDMPRO.
For PRO main plugin, Please put your correct license in Downloads > Settings > License and press Save Settings again. After that try to update again. Hope that it will work for you.
and for the add-on, you can follow these steps for now,
1 ) Download the latest version from here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/?udb_page=purchases
2 ) Install the latest version and activate the license key.
Thanks.

Hello, is it possible, to have a user-role, like administrator, being able to see and download directly all packages in the frontend by default. As I understand you have to assign a userrole first.
Or at least can WPDM add a role to packages created in the frontend automatically.
We want to use WPDM as an document-exchange platform. So admins need instant and direct access to the uploads of the paticipants.
I also tried to add a direct-link to the package-list-items, but failed.
/list-packages-table.php
Kind regards

Yes, [wpdm_all_packages] List all downloads in tabular format and for adding search option in [file_list] tag required customization
thanks
Hi,
For wpdm_all_packages shortcode, you have to edit file from plugins\download-manager\tpls\wpdm-all-downloads.php file and for [file_list] tag you have to edit plugins\download-manager\libs\class.FileList.php file
thanks
Hi,
First of all thanks for your help.
On the page https://pucoo.nl/wellsystem2/poster-a4/?lang=de there are 5 downloads.
All of the 5 downloads are sending me to an 404 not found page. With the google chrome inspection tool i see 404 errors popping up.
I’ve reinstalled wpdm pro on your site and downloads are working fine now.
Yes, All download will redirect a specific page, which will contain the lazy download shortcode. Yes, it will support your existing downloads and will work in the free version too
thanks
Hi Marco,
The error can show for some reasons. WP download manager is a large plugin, with many modules and language files. This can cause issues with some servers when using the automatic update.
It can be happen if there is an issue with the zip file you’re uploading/downloaded. It can also be happened with your hosting as WordPress doesn’t have enough memory on the web server to unzip and upload the contents of the zip file.
Please try manually reinstalling WPDM? To do so, download the WPDM plugin here:
https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/download-manager.latest-stable.zip
You can do this manually by logging in to your site via FTP or Cpanel, and delete the existing WPDM plugin from plugins folder. You should then be able to reinstall the plugin manually by following the instructions here:
Download Manager
It is recommended that you make a complete backup of your website before trying this.
I hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks
Hello dear download manager team,
Today we unfortunately had to realize that all downloads (400+) no longer work. The download itself still exists, but no file is attached.
The different documents still exist on the server, only the connection to the download package was removed.
Of course, we can’t go through 400+ downloads now and attach the file again with every download. Is there a way to make this easier to do?
I would be very happy to hear from you soon!
Many thanks and best regards,
Manuel
So how would I change that array to, say, only allow admins and subscribers to access all downloads by default?

Thanks for the advice. I have done the following:
1) While logged-in to wpdownloadmanager.com, I went to my “Hello….DownloadArea” Order Details Clicked on ‘License’ (key) icon to find the License Key.
2) While logged in to my WordPress admin dashboard, I went to Downloads Settings License. I could then see the License Key that was already stored there. It was already the correct License Key.
3) I clicked SAVE SETTINGS
4) On my WordPress admin dashboard, I went back to Plugins Installed Plugins DownLoad Manager and tried again to update. This time it updated successfully.
So I have two questions. First, the License Key stored in my WordPress was already correct, so why didn’t the Plugin update the first twenty times I tried to update it??!!
Second, if it is necessary to jump through this hoop of checking and updating the License Key on the WordPress site every time before the Plugin will update itself, why doesn’t DownLoad Manager create some clear, friendly instructions about how to do this and make them accessible to customers who need them?
Thanks, David
If this can be done as an option somewhere: please tell me and I would be happy to do it!
My primary goal is to ensure that protected downloads are never exposed to non-authorized people, even accidentally, and the “Prev” and “Next” buttons seem to be a “gap” in the protection. On top of that, they are not really required for anything at least in my case.
Hello,
Do you want to remove “Prev” and “Next” for all downloads package, please let me know
thanks

I am using the Download Manager to manage downloads for different customers – which is obviously the main purpose and works nicely!
However, several times I was already running into a trap. Right now I saw it happening again, but then I was not able to reproduce my steps, so my question remains a bit unspecific.
The trap is: In SOME user pages you will find “Prev” and “Next” buttons – and they will override all the nice accessibility settings that you have done for the Download Manager! So basically you open the download page for a specific user category, like “Customers” in my case, and you see there downloads for that category. On top of that I have also downloads for single users specifically. They will find these downloads either in their user profile page or also together with the general “Customers” download page. So far so good.
But then you may click on one download, this brings you sometimes to another page – and there you have these “Prev” and “Next” buttons – and these do not care at all about anything: you will get to the downloads that are strictly reserved for another customer… I had this once with real protected user data – and it was a pain!
To me it looks like it is about choosing the right templates in many places: download settings, maybe user settings, maybe other locations – I tend to lose track sometimes a bit, and this is exactly the problem!
What I would like to see: A setting that blocks all possible “Prev” and “Next” buttons in ALL possible download templates completely! So that even if I once forget to set the correct template in some location, I am not opening unwanted backdoors.
Is there such a thing available? Like somehow disabling a code, that templates may use for enabling “Prev” and “Next”, so that even if these buttons would appear, nothing would happen? Not nice, but better than giving people access to the wrong data…
I think another moderator was able to address the shortcode not showing, they applied a patch. I want to show just the downloads shared with that user, not list all downloads, is there a way to do that?
Please browse Downloads > Add New/Edit Package, you shall find right column after Select Files option Select From Media Library option, please check
thanks
