Hi Nayeem! Thanks for your super fast response! 🙂
I suppose that this wpdm_direct_link code should be used instead my [download_link] parameter on link template, isn´t it?
[wpdm_direct_link id="Package ID" target="_blank" label="Download Me!" class="css class names" eid="element-id"]
But, in this case, what should i put on “id” parameter? I want to show a file directory as you can see on my private link.
[wpdm_category id="liga-golf," cols="1" toolbar=0 item_per_page=10 template="5ea99dbc8be8b"]
This is the code that i´m using to show my template on that test page. There is any way to use direct downloads with “wpdm_category” code?
On another project, i used your plugin and it let me do that using a “wpdm-all-packages” code like that:
[wpdm-all-packages items_per_page="20" categories="golf-documentos" jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="ASC/DESC" cols="title|download_link" colheads="Título|Descarga"]
But i have no way to replicate it now. On that project i was using an older an free version of your plugin. Right now i´m using your Pro latest version.
As you can see, i have a little mess, this is the first time with your pro version, i hope to solve it soon 🙂
Thanks again!

Hi,
wp_downloads is not a download manager table, download manager packages are custom post type and stores in posts table. Please check from Admin Menu Downloads, if you are seeing all of your downloads there.

That is very weird
Where did it say that the version was 1.1 (and previously that the add-on was not installed)?
If I look at wp-admin->Downloads->Settings->Updates->Free Add-ons, “Download Manager REST API” is listed as version 1.2.0 and with the status “Updated”
I can also find it under wp-admin->Downloads->Add-Ons (also 1.2.0)
We also tried to manually update wpdm. It was 5.0.5 and would not update to 5.0.8 through WordPress. To do so, our main technician said he had to “manually download 5.0.5, rename and deactivate the existing 5.0.5 version, upload 5.0.8 and re-validate the license”.
Considering the conflicting statuses of the version and the fact that we have not been able to update to the newest versions of the REST API nor WPDM through WordPress, could there perhaps be an issue with our installation that causes all these problems?
Hello,
I have three problems.
After switching my website to a new Hoster all the downloads that have been linked to files on the ftp are not connected anymore.
I replaced als URL strings in the database but they still not reattached.
Is there a way to restore the link, the folder with the files is at the same folder as at the old host?
I’d would be great if I don’t have to redo everything.
Second. It seems the css is not loading of my custom link template.
Third, I can’t disable all other templates, it just resets again.
I get an ajax response error:
component: “Plugin: download-manager”
file: “wp-content/plugins/download-manager/admin/menus/class.Templates.php”
line: 304

Hello,
i recently purchased a license of your pluggin to my site in order to manage downloads for a school, i want to have control for all downloads in order to know if the students are getting all the stuff they need to work from home, but i cant’t figure out how to set up de catalog where they can select the files to download. Do you a tutorial from scratch?
After disabling WPML Multilingual CMS
plugin all downloads are working fine. please check now.
Thanks.
Hello,
I have also done before from scratch also, please check, the file has been included in your themes/download-manger/wpdm-all-downloads.php
https://managementresearch.co.in/volume-17-number-1/
Hi,
Dashboard doesn’t show the files. There you will see your download history, Please use shortcode [wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="20"]
in any page to list all files. Doc: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_all_packages-list-all-downloads-in-tabular-format-in-a-page/
Or you can use other shortcodes like:
[wpdm_packages] – WP_Query in a shortcode for download manager packages
[wpdm_category] – Query All Downloads From One or More Categories
If you are using gutenberg editor, you may use the following add-on to handle the files visually:
Gutenberg Blocks
However, if you want, you may send me temporary wp-admin login info in a private reply, I shall create some sample pages for you.
Hi,
I have adjusted it with the codes in your wpdm-all-downloads.php
of your child theme,
<script type="text/javascript">
url = new URL(document.URL);
urlsp = url.searchParams;
$chck =(encodeURI(urlsp.get("wpdmc")));
if($chck !="null")
{
jQuery('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: jQuery("#wpdm-all-packages").offset().top
}, 2000);
}
</script>
Please check if it works for you.
Thanks.

Hello, for the first time ever, the download history is showing an I.P address but no user attached to it.
All the downloads are for members only, and this particular one is passworded as well.
Please advise why this could be happening.

Hi,
As usual other plugins, you can install the WPDM PRO too, please install the plugin from Plugins > Add New
upload plugin
then upload the zip plugin and install and activate it. Then you find the name called Downloads
option in wp-admin menus. You can also use this as other plugins. let me know if you need further assistance.
Thanks.
Please now check, it has been adjusted again. It is working fine now. the tpls
file has been modified in wpdm-all-downloads.php

Hi,

file from the tpls
folder.
also created a folder in your theme download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php

I have a digital downloads store setup, I am using Download Manager Pro to handle the file purchasing and downloading.
The PayPal and Stripe payment methods are being used.
I have noticed this issue on guest purchases I have not tried purchases by logged in users.
Scenario 1:
A guest user purchases an item using Stripe, after purchase they are taken to the download page to download their product and receive a receipt email from Stripe and an email from my store which I have setup using the email template options, it contains a link to the download page and the information they need to download their product again if they wish.
Scenario 2:
A guest user purchases an item using PayPal, after purchase they are taken to the download page to download their product and receive a receipt from PayPal, there is no email sent by the store telling them how to download the product again if they wish.
If I use PayPal IPN the receipt email from PayPal contains some product information. If I use the new PayPal API method the email from PayPal contains no product information.
In Scenario 2 I expect the store to send an email in the same way as it does for Scenario 1 so that the customer receives an email from the store telling them how to download the product again if they want to.
I totally fail to understand how this functionality is either not implemented or has remained broken for so long.
Unimpressed
The URL you sent is a default archive page, which is controlled by your theme and may not show download buttons if you don’t select an archive page template, instead of showing the default archive page it is better to use a short-code. Yes, give me temporary wp-admin login info in a private reply, I shall create a sample archive page for you using
[wpdm_all_packages] – List all downloads in tabular format in a page
