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?

Hi Shahjada, our host says our site can handle the downloads, so I will not be using AS3 after all. (Just a side note, very glad to see you in support!)
So I want this logo: https://marketingforyoursalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Logo-M4YS1.png
Not this one: https://marketingforyoursalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Logo-M4YS-Symbol1.png
There is a problem with this setting –> downloads -> settings -> Frontend access -> Login page. It resets the logo to this one: https://marketingforyoursalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Logo-M4YS-Symbol1.png but I’ve set this one in the short code https://marketingforyoursalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Logo-M4YS1.png
I really hope you understand now. Can you see the logo changing in the video when i set the page to the login page?

you can follow one of these steps for now,
1 ) Deactivate and delete the old version. You won’t lose any data.
2 ) Download the latest version from here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/?udb_page=purchases
3 ) Install the latest version and activate the license key.

Hello, in the packages managment (downloads/all packages) in the backend i’d like to have direct download-links for either the package itself or its contained files. Can you please help me to achieve that.
Kind Regards

Hi, the updates are still failing with error message: The package coud not be installed. The package contains no files.
It tried the recommendation from last time which was:
“If update fails like this you just have to logout and login again from Downloads > Settings > Updates tab.”
This doesn’t do anything as it seems to think there is nothing to update. The free add-ons are up to date and there are no purchased add-ons showing even though I should be on the Pro package.
Please help thanks.
I reinstalled the latest version of WPDM and disabled all other non-esential plugins (WPDM, S3. The problem persisted. I have now rolled back to WPDM v5.2.4 and stats are working again for the newest downloads. I’m not getting any stats for downloads prior this latest rollback to v5.2.4.
Hi,
For the upgrade, please check this option Downloads > Settings > License option and save settings again. Then try again to update. It will work then,

Instead of a single package search feature, you can use the search feature for multiple packages, like this shortcode, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_all_packages-list-all-downloads-in-tabular-format-in-a-page/, please let me know if it helps you

We’ve had many issues with the membership plugin. We have since moved away from wordpress.com hosting as we were getting critical errors. Since we moved hosting, I’ve upgraded the membership plugin to the latest version. Prior to this upgrade, the membership plan selection in the Download Files Allowed Access was not working. It would only work if you had subscriber as the role. When selecting Free Plan as the role access, it doesn’t work. Since the upgrade, it still is not working properly. It only works if Subscriber role is selected and not Free Plan. I need to make sure that these roles are working properly and they are not. If they purchase the free plan, they should get the Free Plan role (which they do) but the file downloads don’t work as it gives an Access Denied button. Can this please get fixed asap?

Hi,
For both categories common downloads package, you can use this shortcode, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_packages-wp_query-in-a-shortcode-for-download-manager-packages/, here you will find a parameter called operator (string) ► ‘IN’, ‘AND’, I think this will help you
thanks
Downloads all work, but download stats are not tracking any longer, that would be since DL Manager v5.2.5 or 5.2.6 – I’m not sure which.
