Hi Nayeem,
Regarding the InvalidAccess, I think this is because the link is generated with a token for our account so this is why you cannot see it but that link just downloads the S3 downloadmanager add on.
The data that is important from that log is what is after the link:
“Unpacking the package…
The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature
Return to Plugin Installer
Installed Successfully”
So the error seems to be: “PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature”
What do you recommend going further?
Best Regards,
Raluca
I’ve activated the email lock on https://virtualworksuccess.com, and initially it was working which is why i have about 20 registered downloads, but now is is not. I tested this on a clean browser with same negative result.
I read the other post here on the same issue and download_link_extended did not solve the issue. Perhaps you can take a look.

Hi,
For removing date you can just update cols="author_name|page_link|categories"
by removing update_date
. for disabling pagination (both top ) and search you have to make jstable=1
to jstable=0
. And for removing icon you have to adjust code background-image: url('<?php echo $ext ; ?>');
in line number 270 from download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php
. and for pagination you have to adjust/remove code from the same file in line number 361 to 387
. and it is better to backup the file in your local PC or other places for the update of the plugin. then you have to just replace the file. I hope it will help you.
Thanks.
Hi again Nayeem
Ok, some progress re permissions. I was hoping to not have the files that can’t be downloaded visible at all, but it seems all files are visible, but only available for download if you have permissions. Is there not a way to hide them completely if the logged in user does not have permissions to view? That would tidy it up no end.
Re thee categories tags, I see where you’re going with that, but again, I’m confused. In WordPress under Downloads, there’s a Categories option, and I’ve added my categories to this, and layered them. then I’ve added permissions so that only certain people can see certain categories. Then I applied the required category to each document. But everything shows up, with just the one main category and no layering. It would seem simply to use teh Categories in WordPress since it’s already there, but are you saying that that doesn’t work, and i have to use tags?

Hi,
I have checked from your site, the templates working fine. If you want to see the preview of templates you can check them from Downloads > Templates
and the preview button. and if you want to edit or adjust with new code, you can follow this doc, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/, by default, you are usinglink-template-default.php
for link template
and page-template-default.php
for the page template. As documentation, you have to 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
. or if you want to create from the admin panel you can use the PRO version. you will find templates available tags here, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/template-tags/
and for showing package related categories you can use this tag in your template[categories]
. it is also available here, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/template-tags/
and for third when you have given allow access to the subscriber
as an administrator
you can see the download button, but if you check the file/package from the incognito mode it is not showing there. please check and let me know.
Thanks.
Hi,
My name is Raluca, I am a colleague of Mihai’s and I am checking this issue out.
I have checked the setting again. This time the license seems to be activated. I try to install: “All Add-ons ( wpdm-amazon-s3.zip )”, I get the message “Success!” but the add on is still not installed. I logged out and logged in again from the Downloads/Settings/Updates, pressed the install button again for that Add on and the install is still not done!
Please let me know what should be the next steps.
Best Regards,
Raluca

Currently installed is DMP 4.0.4 with a message “Automatic Update not available for this plugin”
Followed advise in another form post to download the plugin from downloads area. In attempt to install the package I have the message: /html/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/ already exists.
I’d really enjoy having automatic update available for this plugin. What needs to be done to update the plugin and have automatic updates available?
Thanks.
Good day. I’m having the same issue when I try to download the History. Get notice accross all browsers “Failed – Network error” Typically this allows me to download the cvs file of various downloads. Hosted in WP Engine. Any help would be appreciated
Thank you. What about the downloads / files – do we manually have to move them across?
Hi Nayeem,
Thank you for your response. Yes we’ve done this already. This seems to disable the ‘all-downloads’ archive. However the individual category archives are still generated / active.
We currently have WPDM Custom Access Level installed. We are using [wpdm_user_dashboard signup=1]
as the main public facing interface for end users.
We would like the main view when a user logs in (via the signup form presented on the user dashboard page) to be the My Downloads view (ie ?udb_page=my-downloads
).
Although this wasn’t documented, scouring through the source code, we found this solution:
[wpdm_user_dashboard signup=1 redirect="https://www.mydomain.com/my-downloads-base/?udb_page=my-downloads"]
So when a user now logs into WPDM through the User Dashboard login dialog, they will go directly to the “My Downloads” view.
We are also interested in finding out how to do this.
Basically we would like to use something like [wpdm_user_dashboard signup=1]
, but have it default to the “My Downloads” view (ie https:/mywebsite.com/download-manager/?udb_page=my-downloads
.
Is there a way defaulting the view to “My Downloads” ?udb_page=my-downloads
rather than the ‘Profile’ view?
PS. we are using the “WPDM Custom Access Level” plugin.

I purchased the special pack. I am looking for the add-ons included (specifically the PDF viewer). When I go to Downloads > Add-Ons – I found it in the list but it is showing $39.00 to purchase it. How do i install the add-ons included with the Special Pack?
Also, where can I go to find a Beginners Guide to getting started with WPDM? I need more help/explanation than what is provided on this website.
(Basically I have a ton of PDF’s for my website that I want to organize and provide for viewing (not purchasing).
Hello Nayeem,
That didn’t appear to work either. How ever the downloads list is actually rendering out fine. Its the search form around it I am trying to alter the structure of.
I just purchased the Download manager plug-in yesterday, and I have some problems need to fix and I have some other questions, I will list all below as points:
1- “Basic Settings” in the Download Manager settings, is not saving, every time I click save settings the gear icon keeps spinning but it never showed “Settings Saved Successfully” message, while other settings tabs I can save changes normally. I can’t modify anything only in the Basic tab.
2- What template I can use to make packages showed in categories like “Tiles”, actually I want to make a file hosting section like this one “https://www.thingiverse.com/newest”?
3- How I can set default settings for front-end “add package” page that front-end user can’t see or can’t modify. For example. I don’t want user to change “template” or “set limit for number of downloads”?
Hi,
is it possible to limit the plugin functionality to one certain page only.
Meaning that all scripts and styles are only loaded, when this certain page (for example ../downloads) ist visited?
Would this be possible with a conditional function in functions.php and how would this function need to look like?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Sebastian
