Topic: New Package Position
Hi, I have an elderly client who has been using the Downloads Manager for years. He has his downloads organized by cateogry and is using a shortcode to show those categories on a WordPress page. For example: http://word-share.com/circle-bible/
The shortcode for he is using to display a category i: [wpdm_tree category=”part-1-cbsm” order_by=”title” order=”desc”]The problem is that every time he adds a new package to that category it shows at the top of the list instead at the bottom of the list on the page. He then has to go in and edit every file in that category in order to get it to display correctly. Is there a way to make all newly added packages display according to creation date with the newest addition showing at the bottom. Or can we get it to display by date and time? I tried adding those Parameters but it didn’t work.
Thanks in advance for your help with this.

The Belford GroupI want to purchase Lazy Download addon, but i have a question that I’ll redirect my all Download to a single Specific page? Or I’ll need to create separate page for every Download?
Also does it support my existing Downloads or it will work only on wpdm pro package files?In reply to: Update Fails
Hi Marco,
The error can show for some reasons. WP download manager is a large plugin, with many modules and language files. This can cause issues with some servers when using the automatic update.
It can be happen if there is an issue with the zip file you’re uploading/downloaded. It can also be happened with your hosting as WordPress doesn’t have enough memory on the web server to unzip and upload the contents of the zip file.Please try manually reinstalling WPDM? To do so, download the WPDM plugin here:
https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/download-manager.latest-stable.zip
You can do this manually by logging in to your site via FTP or Cpanel, and delete the existing WPDM plugin from plugins folder. You should then be able to reinstall the plugin manually by following the instructions here:
It is recommended that you make a complete backup of your website before trying this.
I hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks
Hello dear download manager team,
Today we unfortunately had to realize that all downloads (400+) no longer work. The download itself still exists, but no file is attached.
The different documents still exist on the server, only the connection to the download package was removed.
Of course, we can’t go through 400+ downloads now and attach the file again with every download. Is there a way to make this easier to do?
I would be very happy to hear from you soon!
Many thanks and best regards,
ManuelIn reply to: Change download access in bulk
So how would I change that array to, say, only allow admins and subscribers to access all downloads by default?
How can I get the download dialog window to close automatically after the download? For your information: My downloads are secured with email-Lock.
Thanks for the advice. I have done the following:
1) While logged-in to wpdownloadmanager.com, I went to my “Hello….DownloadArea” Order Details Clicked on ‘License’ (key) icon to find the License Key.
2) While logged in to my WordPress admin dashboard, I went to Downloads Settings License. I could then see the License Key that was already stored there. It was already the correct License Key.
3) I clicked SAVE SETTINGS
4) On my WordPress admin dashboard, I went back to Plugins Installed Plugins DownLoad Manager and tried again to update. This time it updated successfully.So I have two questions. First, the License Key stored in my WordPress was already correct, so why didn’t the Plugin update the first twenty times I tried to update it??!!
Second, if it is necessary to jump through this hoop of checking and updating the License Key on the WordPress site every time before the Plugin will update itself, why doesn’t DownLoad Manager create some clear, friendly instructions about how to do this and make them accessible to customers who need them?
Thanks, David
In reply to: Absolutely avoiding “Prev” and “Next” buttons
If this can be done as an option somewhere: please tell me and I would be happy to do it!
My primary goal is to ensure that protected downloads are never exposed to non-authorized people, even accidentally, and the “Prev” and “Next” buttons seem to be a “gap” in the protection. On top of that, they are not really required for anything at least in my case.

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…
In reply to: Advanced Access Control Shortcode Not Working
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?

Topic: Enable JSTABLE
Hello ,
We are strugling a little bit setting a download table .
Like described at page :
We started from SHORTCODE here below :
[wpdm_category id="Category Slug or Slugs" operator="IN" title="Custom Title Here or 1" desc="Custom Description or 1" toolbar="1" paging="1" orderby="field name" order="asc or desc" items_per_page="10" template="template name or ID" cols=4 colspad=2 colsphone=1]
chaging it for our needs :
[wpdm_all_packages login=1 thumb=1 items_per_page=5 categories="software,datasheet,user-manuals" jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="DESC"
template="link_mectronik_1"
cols="page_link,version,package_size,excerpt|update_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Update Date|Download::155px"]In details We enabled the option “jstable=1” , because We would like something shown at :
http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/package-list-in-responsive-table/
Now our problem is :
– Enabling JSTABLE , We don’t see toolbar and pagination
– Disabling JSTABLE , We have pagination but not the toolbar
My questions are :
– Does the “datatable.js” is already installed or not ?
– In case it’s not , can You give to us some informations about how to install it ?
We using Elementor Pro , with basic theme “Hello Elementor” .
Thank You a lot !

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!)
In reply to: Custom logo login
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?

Is there a way you can help me without giving you access to my admin panel? Here is a list of the plugins currently installed. Maybe the problem is not in the plugins. Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.List of active plugins:
