Are you talking about wp-admin downloads > all packages? please let me know
thanks
I have tried to use the [wpmd_frontend] code, but I find limits in the function and it doesn’t work with my theme.
I want my document managers to use the backend, but when I assign Document categories to a Role, those users are still seeing every package in the backend Downloads Section.
How do I limit the backend Downloads manager All Packages to show only packages for the role authorized to see those categories?
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 hope you have understood
After updating to Version 3.1.26 today NONE of my downloads is working any longer!
With the old version at least all the files that had been uploaded previously could be downloaded. – With the new Version 3.1.26 NONE of my apk-files can be downloaded!
Hi team
Today I Update Download Manager 3.1.25 to 3.1.26 in all my websites.
Unfortunately since this update, there is a little issue. My downloads and uploads are blocked with the famous message “Invalid File Type”.
Of corse I put the files types in the Basic settings : https://prnt.sc/12m7ug2
but only files pdf and zip, which are valid for WordPress, still able to download.
I also tried to install the plugin in my test website to be sure, and still not working.
I think there has been a change in this new version which blocks this function and prevents it from working well.
Thank you to check this bug.
Have a nice day.
please use this Pastebin code,
https://pastebin.com/K9NfsQRD
I hope it will work now for
downloads/tpls3/wpdm-all-downloads.php file
thanks
this is my current wp all downloads PHP file sir please paste in this.
wpdm-all-downloads.php
Hi,
if you are using bootstarp 4 from downloads > settings > user interface
please add the below linedownloads/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php file in line number 295
$data['download_link'] = "<a target='_blank' class='btn btn-primary' href='".get_permalink($data['ID'])."'>"."Download"."</a>";
commenting out this line
// $data['download_link'] = \WPDM\Package::downloadLink($data['ID'], 0, array('template_type' ► 'link'));
I hope it should open a new tab for the related packages
thanks

Hi,
For Invalid File Type updating ( 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
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 402653184 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 60918080 bytes) in /usr/www/users/tckleb/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 2056
Since we are getting more and more Files in the Download section the system keeps getting slower and slower and with the last file we put in we now get this error in the backend and the frontend. I read a lot here in the forum before asking and the overall solution seems to be raising the memory limit to 1024, which is simply not possible in a quite standard hosting package and from my point of view also not needed. Is there any other possible solution?
The customer would possibly upgrade to pro, but I don’t see that helping with the memory problem. Both sides in the backend and frontend which display all files put out the error. If I only got some Downloads on a page in the frontend it seems to work. Looks like it’s running out of memory when too many files are getting diplayed.
What can we do?
Thanks for your help!
Cheers, Markus
You can also try updating the PRO plugin this way, 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

How could I translate strings using wpdm-archive-page shortcode? I use Loco translate and I can’t find strings for translating these ones.
Please see attached screenshot.
Strings to translate are: Search, Order By, Order by list (Publish date, …), Order (ascending order, descending order), all downloads.
Thank you in advance.

Another issue we have. The first time somebody fills out a form to download, we receive all the info in the download notification. If I continues his session and downloads more, we only receive the IP address, the other info is not added, only on the first download. Is there a setting for that?
I have seen that which template you are using in the shortcode there you have used link-template-default,
by default, you are using link-template-default.php for the link template. After customizing/adjusting download button tag, you can copy the file in the theme directory naming a folder called download-manager, then paste it in tpls>page-templates for page template or tpls>link-templates for link template. and you can follow this doc for making backup files, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/
also, you can use the pre-made link-templates or page-templates from here as i image attached,

from Downloads > Templates section
and for title size, you may use adjusted font size for the package title
I hope those may help you
Thanks again

Hi,
yes, possible
by default, you are using link-template-default.php for the link template and page-template-default.php for the page template.
