Please send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply or find the following line in /download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php
file,
$dor = array('publish_date' ► strtotime(get_the_date()), 'create_date' ► strtotime(get_the_date()), 'update_date' ► strtotime(get_the_modified_date('', get_the_ID())));
and replace it with this code,
$dor = array(
'publish_date' ► strtotime( get_the_date('Y-m-d') ),
'create_date' ► strtotime( get_the_date('Y-m-d') ),
'update_date' ► strtotime( get_the_modified_date('Y-m-d') )
);
You can use the category shortcode with paging=0
parameter. For each category use one category shortcode. Shortcode doc link https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/
Another option is using the tree shortcode you tried but that requires some code customization to limit the number of packages. You have to replace 'posts_per_page' ► 9999
with 'posts_per_page' ► 3
in /plugins/wpdm-extended-shortcodes/wpdm-extended-shortcodes.php
file.
Hi,
I’m using your plugin with the WPDM – Amazon s3 add-on and I’m finding it very useful. Now I have a problem, my client needs to create new folders inside his Amazon Bucket and I thought that with the button “Create Dir” found in Downloads -> Amazon S3 he could do it without any problems. I found out that when using this button it seems to go fine (it says “created successfully”) but the folder doesn’t show inside the bucket.
What could be the problem?


Thank you. I’ve not checked that out yet but in the meantime, I’ve uploaded a test package, labeled Somebody23897349, this file contains 191 files and is a little over 1200 mb in size (this is on the smaller size of something we would be using this plugin for). When I click on download for this package, I get this link –
http://sebrieimages.com/download/somebody23897349/
then it redirects to
http://sebrieimages.com/download/somebody23897349/?wpdmdl=14566&refresh=5d8a13e90386e1569330153
And what ends up displaying is a generic parked domain page, as if the dns hasn’t been updated. I called my host and they said there wasn’t anything they could do on their end.
Also,
1. Some of the files in that test package were renamed with this prefix 1569258750wpdm_ by the plugin (It was only some at the end). I did a test upload as our users would upload, (only in the back end by going to downloads > add new) by leaving the upload to run overnight and in the morning hitting create package. This morning when I hit create package there was an error that said the link expired and it loaded a blank add package creation form. However, when I checked the package itself in the back end, it looks as if it uploaded fine, I just can’t download it because of the above issue.
2. Is there a way to get the files to save automatically without hitting create package on the front end?
3. When I update the plugin, will the custom edits stick or do I need to back up something?
Looks like a JS conflict. Maybe the theme is loading it’s own Bootstrap JS which is conflicting with WPDM JS. You can try deactivating WPDM Bootstrap from Downloads > Settings > User Interface Tab. Or send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply if you want me to check the issue there.
The message “You’re not allowed to download” is shown when a user doesn’t have required access to download the file. Please check the “Allow Access” option from package settings meta box to check you have set proper permission there.
Hi Shahriar and All,
Please feel free to delete this message if you don’t want the link on your forum. I won’t be offended!
I have been using a plugin that allows me to edit Downloads and Users many at a time. You can edit almost everything about a Download, User and many other items. You can easily edit 100 Downloads to change the link template or picture or enable comments. I didn’t find anything I couldn’t edit yet and it has saved me hours or perhaps days of time.
Bulk Edit Posts and Products in Spreadsheet
That is the free version. You need the paid version to be able to edit WPDM Downloads. There are a few free versions available or there is a combination package for the paid version.
Anyway, I don’t usually mention something like this but it is so useful I feel like I have to post it. It is the solution I have been searching for to be able to bulk edit almost anything within WordPress.
Also, I think you won’t need to make the bulk import of users with memberships for me now. I think I will be able to use this. I’ll let you know.
Best wishes,
Mike
1 ) Use global coupon for now. All other coupon related issues are already in our to-do list
2 ) You can use the extended page template or a custom template with [download_link_extended]
template tag to show embedded lock options instead of popup.
3 ) Invoice currency sign Will be patched in next updated
4 ) Fixed it on your side and have added the patch on my side too for the next update. You can use a custom template to add additional info. The template file is located here /wpdm-premium-packages/templates/partials/order-notes.php
5 ) The support of other posts types isn’t fully functional yet. It is still in beta.
6 ) Thank you for reporting this. We are going to fix this issue asap.
7 ) Although the UI is tab style the “+” sign is actually a different link, no JS involved in switching tabs. Not sure which plugin ( os is it the theme? ) disabled it. Please try deactivating plugins one by one to find out which one. As it is live site I would prefer if you do it yourself.
8 ) Here are the defaults, WPDM Category URL Base = downloads
WPDM Package URL Base = download
Archive Page Slug = all-downloads
9 ) Looks like you have already added the “View details” link here https://technicskeyboard.com/download-categories/
10 ) I do have plan to implement the bulk import add-on as soon as possible.
11 ) Links under “Download Categories” in sedebar widget are working fine for me https://technicskeyboard.com/blog/wpdm-category/technics-manuals/ ( Technics Manuals )
12 ) The category archive template comes from Settings > Frontend Access > Category Page Options settings. Use a link template there that doesn’t have a download button. Or you can use the Basic Style and check the pacakge info you want to display.
13 ) Yes, you can add both pdf and zip to the package. After purcahse user can download the files separately from dashboard. The pdf willl be stamped during download.
So, you are an Architect! It is a creative profession. Please do share your works whenvever you can. I do enjoy creative architecture although doesn’t have any technical understaning of it. Not long ago, watched the “The World’s Most Extraordinary Homes” on netflix and really loved it.
I don’t see an update. Just refreshed the plugin in the settings section and don’t see any update available. I saw an update the other week, but not as of today. I am running version 5.0.1
There was an update to the FREE version today (11hrs ago) in the WP Repository:
3.0.2
• Improved asset manager root directory option
• Improved stats export options
• Fixed file sorting issue with all downloads table
Trying to filter downloads using Download Manager Blocks. When setting the categories to include in the packages block, it does not change what packages are being shown. Only filtering that works is using tags. Surely there must be a bug somewhere? When including categories to filter by, there is a comma placed at the BEGINNING of the list as well. Does the plugin see that comma and not read anything after that and assume I want all packages?

But [wpdm_my_downloads]
show packages from all categories. It collects all packages the user can access and show them in a single page. It also provides the category filter option ( please check my screenshot above )
If you want to show packages from each category in a separate page then use category shortcode. Please check the shortcode documentation here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/
[wpdm_category id="category_slug" cols="2" toolbar=1 desc=1 item_per_page=30 template="link-template-panel.php" order_by="publish_date" order="desc"]

Hi,
Please use category shortcode to list all packages from one or more categories. Here is a sample shortcode. You have to replace the slug1
with your category slug.
[wpdm_category id="slug1," cols="1" toolbar=1 desc=1 item_per_page=3 template="link-template-calltoaction1.php" order_by="publish_date" order="desc"]
Please check the shortcode documentation here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/
And let me know if you have further query.
Thanks.

We experience a strange situation. We created new downloads and activated them using a button on a web-page. After publishing the page and testing it from another computer, everything works fine. One day later we receive a ‘broken link’ message for all the newly created downloads. Testing the buttons / downloads again (on the same computer as previously used for testing) the downloads don’t work. There is a “strike-out” line on the buttons visible.
Does anyone no why this happens ?
Code for button including call to download:
Relevant text
plug-in used for broken link detection “Broken Link Checker”
Look forward to your reactions.
Kind regards, Johan & Jacqueline, the Netherlands
All my downloads are just images, but the WPDM dosen´t generate thumbnail, i am using the correct shortcode in the template layouts.
How can i solve this issues?
The user doesn’t have access to the File Hosting UI. Please go to the Downloads > Settings > Frontend Access > Allowed User Roles to Create Package From Front-end option and set the user role which will provide File Hosting access to all user in that role.
Have you created separate pages with [wpdm_my_downloads]
shortcode for each category?
[wpdm_my_downloads]
doesn’t show packages from a specific category. It will show all packages shared with the user. But you can have a category filter by setting the username in category settings.
https://www.evernote.com/l/AUfu6rmXu1FNKb0FXfjBu1hqhCWE1G7e62c/
You can link the main download button with the package download URL. To get the download URL use the Generate Download URL button in the all packages admin page. Each package has one under the title. But it is not possible to customize the download button in file list using elementor.
Also, Download Manager provides the button customization option in Downloads > Settings > User Interface.

Hi,
Please check your users to look into their spam folder. Sometimes that could happen. About the delay in sending emails, it depends on your email server. Although, on my test, I got the emails instantly.
To improve the overall email experience you should use an SMTP plugin. There are lots of free and pro options available in the market.
I have installed the updated version of WPDM. In future if you face any issue with auto-update, logout and then login again from your Downloads > Settings > Updates tab.
Thanks.
Hi,
Please follow these steps to update 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

For future updates, To update the plugin from plugins page login to your WPDM account from your Downloads > Settings > Updates tab.
