Hi there,
Question for this evening, i am using Download manager since many many years and i’m completely satisfied.
Using the 4.1.3 since i installed it with another plugin to order download by alphabetical order, i decided to update it with the lastest version of WPDM.
Badly, i had to postpone the update due to some graphic changes/issues with my template that was not supported anymore with the lastest wordpress.
during the time i need to investigate to modify WPDM template to fit my old wordpress template, is there a way to order download by name? i saw few times on google some short code or other things, but there is actually no short code to input. I add a category, add downloads to it, and i add the link of the category on my menu. thats it (unless i missed something)
Which file should i modify for ALWAYS having all my downloads, from any category to be orderded by alphabetical order?
My goal is to remove the other plugin that was re-ordering downloads on top of WPDM.
Thanks!
actually using : “Alphabetic Pagination” plugin otherwise it’s always by date
A little question – just in case I have missed something!
So far if I have a download that I want to add, I do it manually: “New Download”, then give it a title, select the proper file for downloading, then select a category, then I go down and specify lock options (with some terms and conditions text to be accepted) and a custom icon.
But now I have just a few “types” of downloads, and I more or less have to copy over these data from one download to the next, and just change the title and the file name.
It would now be handy if I could just do one of the following:
– either “copy” a complete downlad definition with a new title, then “edit” and change the few things that are different
– or have some kind of “download template” that already includes all these things and from which I choose if I define a new download
Is this already there and I am only too stupid to find it? Or would it be part of another extension? Or is it just a “nice to have” that does not exist yet?
Regards,
Cornelis
Hi There;
I have several items I need help with, probably easy for you pros, but i’m unable to figure them out:
1) Users downloading from their cart get a 15 byte zip file regardless of the number of items in the cart. if they download individually or a complete package it works fine
2) I need to be able to display the file size and / or the file title in the cart vs. the file name – can this be done and if so how?
3) I need to modify the template i created for the package list to do the following:
a) the package title needs to be underlined in red to match the rest of the titles on the site
b) i need to remove the “related downloads” links at the bottom of the pages
thank you!
Bob
PS: I’ve been trying to post this for a couple of weeks, in firefox, if this works, it’s in safari… I wonder why?
Dear support
we moved WPDM to current version. Layout of templates were broken, so we deceided to change them…..At least we have a few problems left:
1. Pagination layout on mobile is weird… On some mobile devises pagination is loosing layout –> numbers not in one row, in two rows added… Is there a way to fix that problem? Maybe a option to change to forward / back function on mobile instead of pagination
2. if a second page is loaded through pagination, page does not jump to the start of the download overview. It stays at the end of the page. Normally it should jump to the beginning of the overview.
3. if we use “default” olayout for archive page –> how can we change categories to be
a. full width above the downloads
b. or above the downloads in two rows 50/ 50
4. if we use these layouts are used the page “jumps” always. does not reload smooth. Any way to change?
Thanks for your support Marc
Hi together,
i’ve a small issue with my download speed. For example:
– 5.75GB File download via http link (or added via http link in the download package) in 20 min
– Same file added via file manager loads in much longer time than 1 hour.
I testet also the download speed module with no entry (leave the field empty) or adding speed parameters like this: 100000000
The only option to get it fast again when a file was added via file explorer at the download package is: resumable downloads
When i deactivate it… its fast again. But then the webbrowser can’t calculate the time is left to get the download finished.
Has anyone an idea to get it better work?
Best regards
Christoph
Hello,
Our setup is using the FTP add-on to link files in packages.
After updating both WPDM (4.7.7 to 4.9.0) and WordPress (4.9.9 to 5.0.3) we are experiencing some download problems.
Since doing those updated when clicking any file’s download button we get a txt file “download error” that specifies a URL that was not retrievable. It seems like the file ID get’s inserted into the URL? Something like this: http://ftp.example/5b28a0e884de9-filename-example.pdf
I believe that before this ID was not inserted into the URL.
I have reverted to a backup for now, any idea what might be causing this?
Code entered on the page :
[wpdm-archive category=”87″ cat_view=”extended” button_style=”default” link_template=”link-template-calltoaction3.php” order_by=”data” order=”desc” items_per_page=”10″]
URL of the page: https://www.acbrescia.it/materiale-archivio/
Before the update the button arrangement was horizontal (figure 1) with this code:
<div class=”wpdm-categories”>
<ul class=”row”>
<li class=”col-md-4 col-sm-6″>
> File Audio
<ul class=”dropdown-menu” role=”menu” aria-labelledby=”dLabel”>
<li class=”col-md-4 col-sm-6″>
> File Video
<ul class=”dropdown-menu” role=”menu” aria-labelledby=”dLabel”>
</div>
After the update the button layout has become vertical (figure 2) with this code:
<div class=”wpdm-categories”>
<ul class=”row”>
<li class=”col-md-4 col-sm-6″>
> File Audio
<ul class=”dropdown-menu” role=”menu” aria-labelledby=”dLabel”>
<li class=”col-md-4 col-sm-6″>
> File Video
<ul class=”dropdown-menu” role=”menu” aria-labelledby=”dLabel”>
</div>
Hello,
I tried to modify this behaviour by following instructions on a previous post. However, placing this line in wpdm-all-downloads.php line 355 did not work
echo “Download“;
Just purchased Special Pack and also Paypal Pro after seeing the Crypton demo, specifically this page is exactly what I wanted.
https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/download/premium-images-demo-product/
I loaded that page in multiple browsers and on my 2 cell phones, it was perfect.
The theme I got doesn’t look quite the same, and there are formatting issues when on a small screen (bootstrap is not collapsing properly).
I can fix the bootstrap issues in the theme files, but the bigger issue is the Buy Now button isn’t showing up, which is 90 percent why I went with you guys. That instant click and purchase is invaluable and always increases sales in my experience. So I must have it working as advertised.
I selected the option in Downloads->Settings->Premium Package->Basic Tab->Purchase Settings->Show Buy Now Option
But It shows and empty box on the front end, see attached pics.
What to do?
New customer with all plugins downloaded yesterday, wordpress is up to date. Also, switched themes and the button doesn’t show up on other WPDM themes either.
Thanks
I have a fresh WordPress (5.0.3) install and when I enable Downloads Manager (4.9) I receive the following error in the dev console:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 () https://xxxxxxxx.xxx/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.form.min.js.map
I have verified the file exist via FTP and there are no other plugins activated when the error occurs.
Any help is appreciated.
Kevin
