Hi,
You can do it by applying to allow access options to the particular package. And from the Downloads > Settings > Basic
, you can do Access Settings ► When user is not allowed to download ► Only Block Download Link
. Thus only given access members can download the file.
Thanks.
I’m having the same issues with all desktop browsers. The download links worked before the latest update (3.1.02) when the link masking was turned on. I have turned off the link masking and now the downloads work. Will you fix the issue in the next update so we can go back to masking the links?
Can you please enabling/disabling style/scripts from Downloads > Settings > User Interface
for checking. then let me know and also you delete install again the plugin, you won’t lose any data.
Thanks.
I have the same problem with this shortcode;
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="20" jstable=0 cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Download"]
All downloads are given #-url’s instead of downloads. Adding a single file to a page with [wpdm_package id='4483'] code works for me (tested one document). Also notice that the title of the document is no longer a hyperlink but only a title.
Thanks for helping us out

Hi
All the previously working download buttons are broken in google chrome in a large professional site I manage. This happened after the latest update that I installed this morning. This is very urgent, as downloads are a major part of my clients site.
The download buttons still work in Microsoft edge
For example, you can see the issue here – https://governance4fe.co.uk/knowledge-bank/challenge-support/
THIS IS VERY URGENT!! PLEASE ROLL BACK TO THE PREVIOUSLY WORKING VERSION!!
Hi,
please follow these steps for updating the plugin,
1 ) Deactivate and delete the old version. You won’t lose any data.
2 ) Download latest version from here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/?udb_page=purchases
3 ) Install the latest version and activate the license key.
To enable the auto-update, login to your WPDM account from the Downloads > Settings > License
tab. If login is successful and you have an active subscription then you can update the future releases right from your plugins page.
Thanks.
ANd for categories table, are you talking about this shortcode, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/, here doc describes in details for this shortcode use. let me know.
Thanks.
@sybillevz, here are the ways:
- Importing Products: You can create a CSV file with product data following wpdm importable CSV file form and import them to wpdm in a click. Please follow the doc: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/bulk-import/
- Import Customers/Clients: If they are WordPress users, you don’t need to change anything here, otherwise, you may use user import plugin from wp.org
- Assigning products to customers: there are 2 ways:
- You may use Premium Packages Add-on, install and activate it, then go to Admin Menu ► Downloads ► Orders ► Create order manually and assign to existing customer. Customers will be able to download the products from User Dashboard ► Purchases Menu
- Or, you may use Advanced Access Control add-on, and from edit package with you can assign a package to sepcific users. Customers will be able to download assigned items from User Dashboard ► My Downloads
Hi,
Is there a simple way to add a product to a client’s account without having the client going through the steps of buying it?
I want to migrate my client list from an external digital download delivery system and manage everything from my own website. But I already have 300+ clients who have collectively bought 1000+ products. Once the client have registered on the website, is there a way for me to easily ad the products they already purchased so that they can have access to downloads and updates right from they account page?
Ideally I would like to import the clients + their purchases from CSV. Is that possible?
Thanks,
please check the settings from Downloads > Basic > Access Settings > When user is not allowed to download:
you shall find the option there.
thanks.
Every download is downloading a file called “public_html” that is 0kb rather than my file specified.
Hi, I’ve installed the WordPress Download Manager plugin with the Advanced Access Control add-on. I’ve seen that to show the packages shared with a particular user we use the [wpdm_my_downloads login=1] shortcode.
But I have a problem. I use it but it doesn’t show. Am I doing something wrong? I leave a picture of what’s going on.
Thank you very much for your attention 🙂

Is it possible to “Link” downloads together, like a related products feature. I have one file available in 3 formats, so I would like to display all three format download buttons on one download page.
A month ago all downloads were working. In the past two weeks, three out of twelve downloads do not have complete download links.
A functioning link looks like https://irch.com/subscription-downloads/#pkg_7749_5ef23f1762790
The problem links look like https://irch.com/subscription-downloads/#
The downloads were using the FTP function. I relocated the FTP downloads to the public_html/wp-content/uploads/download-manager-files directory.
I recreated a download page for a problem download and the incomplete download link condition continues.
Please let me know if additional information is needed. Thank you and I appreciate your help with this.

I’m adding the downloads to my page using the standard shortcode that only has the item ID in it. I would like to be able to ask the browser to open the pdf/download in a new browser window since many of the links we are opening are not on my website. I basically want the target=”_blank” functionality. I assume the best way to do that is with the shortcode. I don’t see any general settings for the plugin that would allow that.
Please advise how I can make this happen.

I have a website where we have used the Email lock and Agree to Terms on a download. This has stopped working and the plugin itself is displaying incorrectly in the backend.
The Email Lock screen now displays a logo which is really stretched and the options to enter name and email address are not displayed:

This is the Downloads dashboard too:
