Hello,
im using the Directory Add-on with the Sidebar.
When im inside an category and change the sorting order it applies the sort order but shows me all downloads and not the file from the category i was in. The breadcrumbs still show the subcategory though.
How can i fix that?
A couple of minor queries.
1. https://www.motoshoot.com.au/date uses the shortcode: [wpdm_carousel category=”8″ item_per_page=”10″]
Whilst the ‘chopped’ image is visually interesting I don’t like the way the image mis-aligns. I would prefer to set the shortcode to default to the grid display (which I don’t know how to do), and even with the shortcode telling it to load 12 it always defaults to 10.
2. https://www.motoshoot.com.au/downloads/2019/
same limitation applies when you directly load a Category – I would *really* like to make this deafult to 12 not 10, but doing file content searches for =10 didn’t point me towards anything logical.
3. https://www.motoshoot.com.au/download/8993/
A standard package display – which I really like BTW. However as you can see I’m actually using the [Package Info] > [Version] field to enter the pixel size of the image. It’s a really simple variation of using the existing code, but I would like to change the text values here.
Package Info > Photo Info
Version = Image Size
These are likely just text strings somewhere in an array, but again file content seaches through the directories doesn’t point to anything worth following up.
I don’t think any of these are major code edits, and they are certainly something I can do myself! I’m really just hoping for some guidance on where to start looking.

I’m not sure if this is a WPDM or a Theme question.
I have just been going through the search responses to make them a little clearer to customers. IMHO the Seartch is a bit confusing, as it does not search across *ALL* sections if you select multiple section configuration. In my case I had selected [Posts, Pages & Downloads] yet when I entered the title of a Download Package I get ‘No Results Found’. Huh?
I subsequently figured out that you needed to select the ‘other’ sections from the Search menu to force the code to search those particular sections.
And to make it even more confuing to the new user, unlike a [Post] or a [Page] there was no default text returned when using the Verse Theme when you performed an empty search in the [Downloads] section – just empty space – a little odd as this is Theme for a download plugin!
FWIW you need to edit the [search-templates/wpdmpro.php file] – and it works in a child theme. I just copied the default text from the Verse theme [search-templates/post.php/pages.php], however you will need to cut-and-paste code (and maybe re-position an auto-incrementing variable!) and edit a bit to make it work.
However I noticed that the Search always defaults to [Posts] when I have [Posts], [Pages] and [Downloads] as multiple selected Search options. Again this was a bit confusing at first (as you kinda assume it would search download content), and this was the reason for wanting to improve the ’empty’ responses.
But it got me wondering as to whether I can configure (or code) the Search to default to [Downloads] instead?
I know the string I need to change [?post_type=post] > [?post_type=wpdmpro] but despite some global folder searches and a few coding options in the Verse files (search.php & functions.php) but can’t quite get my head around the relationship here between the variable: $current_post_type & the array: $search_post_types.
