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.

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 Shahriar,
I would like to sell some packages that give access for members to see videos. They are not downloadable. Some are free (for the Free Plan) and some are paid (for any Plan or guest, but with discount to VIP Plans).
I was thinking to perhaps make “Video Plans” but I’m hoping you have a better idea for me please because it would be a lot of Plans, which I think the Members would find to be confusing. I would like the “video packages” to be visible in the various downloads pages (archive page etc).
Thanks for all your help the site is starting to look great!
Mike

Hi,
Please enable the “Email Download Link” option when activating the Form Lock. That will send the download link via after form submission.
Install the Download Notification ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/download-notifications/ ) add-on to get notified when someone downloads a package.
Thanks.
