1. Could you help me please. I have the WPDM Pro plugin and I need a little help with the customisation of the My Dashboard area. In the My Dashboard area, I have a hyperlink in the left sidebar call My Downloads. I would like to change the My Download link to go to a specific URL (https://mywebsite.com/document-library/).
Is there a setting for this task, or is this a custom function.php code. If it is custom function.php code, could you please provide it as I don’t know how to code PHP.
2. Again, in the My Dashboard area, there is a link called Download History. When I click this, it then gives me a list of the files that I have downloaded. When I click a downloaded link, it takes me to a WordPress Post when the download button. Is it possible to omit that step? Is it possible to download the file directly from the Download History list?
Is there a setting for this task, or is this a custom function.php code. If it is custom function.php code, could you please provide it as I don’t know how to code PHP.
To enable the auto-update, login to your WPDM account from the Downloads > Settings > License tab. If login is successful and you have an active subscription then you can update the future releases right from your plugins page.
But i have no way to replicate it now. On that project i was using an older an free version of your plugin. Right now i´m using your Pro latest version.
As you can see, i have a little mess, this is the first time with your pro version, i hope to solve it soon 🙂

Hi,
wp_downloads is not a download manager table, download manager packages are custom post type and stores in posts table. Please check from Admin Menu Downloads, if you are seeing all of your downloads there.

Where did it say that the version was 1.1 (and previously that the add-on was not installed)?
If I look at wp-admin->Downloads->Settings->Updates->Free Add-ons, “Download Manager REST API” is listed as version 1.2.0 and with the status “Updated”
I can also find it under wp-admin->Downloads->Add-Ons (also 1.2.0)
We also tried to manually update wpdm. It was 5.0.5 and would not update to 5.0.8 through WordPress. To do so, our main technician said he had to “manually download 5.0.5, rename and deactivate the existing 5.0.5 version, upload 5.0.8 and re-validate the license”.
Considering the conflicting statuses of the version and the fact that we have not been able to update to the newest versions of the REST API nor WPDM through WordPress, could there perhaps be an issue with our installation that causes all these problems?
After importing our data from filebase to downloads it appears that all records were imported (810). When I go into phpmyadmin or DB visualizer and browse the wp_downloads table only shows 27 records. I’m not sure if you can help, but maybe you’ve seen this before?
After switching my website to a new Hoster all the downloads that have been linked to files on the ftp are not connected anymore.
I replaced als URL strings in the database but they still not reattached.
Is there a way to restore the link, the folder with the files is at the same folder as at the old host?
I’d would be great if I don’t have to redo everything.
Second. It seems the css is not loading of my custom link template.
Third, I can’t disable all other templates, it just resets again.
i recently purchased a license of your pluggin to my site in order to manage downloads for a school, i want to have control for all downloads in order to know if the students are getting all the stuff they need to work from home, but i cant’t figure out how to set up de catalog where they can select the files to download. Do you a tutorial from scratch?

I’m using the wpdm all packages shortcode on a page that has an intro section above the Downloads table.
The table is only visible when you scroll down the page.
When you click on one of the category names to filter the results, the page reloads and opens back at the top of the page.
This means that the user has to scroll back down to see the results, which is not very user friendly.
Is there a way to maintain the scroll position on page reload?
I’m using an edited version of wpdm-all-downloads.php and I’ve found the __dt.on(‘page.dt’, function() with scrollTop parameter, however this seems to apply to Ajax reloads, when ordering or searching, and not to page reloads, when filtering?
As usual other plugins, you can install the WPDM PRO too, please install the plugin from Plugins > Add Newupload plugin then upload the zip plugin and install and activate it. Then you find the name called Downloads option in wp-admin menus. You can also use this as other plugins. let me know if you need further assistance.
I have a digital downloads store setup, I am using Download Manager Pro to handle the file purchasing and downloading.
The PayPal and Stripe payment methods are being used.
I have noticed this issue on guest purchases I have not tried purchases by logged in users.
Scenario 1:
A guest user purchases an item using Stripe, after purchase they are taken to the download page to download their product and receive a receipt email from Stripe and an email from my store which I have setup using the email template options, it contains a link to the download page and the information they need to download their product again if they wish.
Scenario 2:
A guest user purchases an item using PayPal, after purchase they are taken to the download page to download their product and receive a receipt from PayPal, there is no email sent by the store telling them how to download the product again if they wish.
If I use PayPal IPN the receipt email from PayPal contains some product information. If I use the new PayPal API method the email from PayPal contains no product information.
In Scenario 2 I expect the store to send an email in the same way as it does for Scenario 1 so that the customer receives an email from the store telling them how to download the product again if they want to.
I totally fail to understand how this functionality is either not implemented or has remained broken for so long.
My client would like the option to filter packages by tags in the ‘wpdm_all_packages’ shortcode.
I’ve managed to add tag support by copying the ‘wpdm-all-downloads.php’ file to a ‘download-manager’ folder in my child theme and adding the following code:
case 'tags':
echo "<span class='__dt_categories {$cxc}'>".$tags."</span>";
break;
This works fine as far as displaying the tags in the table, but it does not allow us to filter the results using the tags.
When we click on a tag, the table shows ‘No results’.
I’m assuming that the dataTables files have to be edited in some way to add tag support there? Or is there another solution?
Could you point me in the right direction to get this to work?
The URL you sent is a default archive page, which is controlled by your theme and may not show download buttons if you don’t select an archive page template, instead of showing the default archive page it is better to use a short-code. Yes, give me temporary wp-admin login info in a private reply, I shall create a sample archive page for you using https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_all_packages-list-all-downloads-in-tabular-format-in-a-page/
