It is not possible to hide the parent category or order by category. But you can click on the category link to filter packages.
By the way, if you want to show the parent why not drop the parent category completely?
A better solution for showing all downloads with search and filter would be Archive Page add-on. Please take a look at the demo here https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-default/
It is not possible using tags. All packages table uses category as a filter.
Template customization ( /download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php ) is required to filter packages based on tags.
Your theme is deactivating the click on the download link. The click is triggered by JS onclick event.
However, there is a workaround. I have created a clone ( Single Column, Flat Clone ) for the page template ( Single Column, Flat ) you are using there. Replaced the [download_link] template tag with <a href="[download_url]" class="btn btn-sm btn-success">[link_label]</a> This uses direct URL instead of JS onclick event to initiate download.
Check the example here https://www.teatimemonkeys.com/download/single-opt-in-mailchimp-english/
This clone template will work with only packages that have no lock. For locked packages use the original ( Single Column, Flat ) template.
If all of your downloads are unlocked, let me know. I will bulk update page template for all packages so you don’t have to update one by one.
Hi there,
I’m currently displaying all downloads with this shortcut:
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="30" jstable=1 order_by="date" order="DESC" cols="page_link,file_count,download_count|excerpt|acf_status_Bid Date|page_link" colheads="Project|Project Info|Bid Date/Status|Download::155px"]
On this page: http://www.gdacllc.com/plan-room/current-bids/
Now, we would like to split packages into two categories…each category will get it’s own page.
Can you please help me keep this same layout, but switch with category view instead of all packageS?
It would be very much appreciated!

Download starts automatically after submitting the email address. The download button is shown to allow more downloads. Please send me the link to check your package.

I have several identically configured downloads. Some work correctly. Others do not.
With the ones that fail, when clicking on the Download button, the pop-up simply disappears (rather than saying “processing”.
Also, when you mouseover the download button, it does not activate (change color).
Examples of both working and broken links here:

Download works fine in my test too. Do you have any related server error log? Please share the log file in that case. This issue most probably related to some server settings.
There is one way to ensure 100% download for all users. You can serve the files from Dropbox or Amazon S3 using related WPDM add-on. In that case, downloads will be handled by those cloud server instead of your own.
I have a few pages that use the wpdm_all_packages shortcode and the category keyword to filter down to a specific category of files. In Chrome and Firefox, the list of downloads displays properly. In Internet Explorer, it seems that the main body of the download list loads, then the “downloads per page”, search bar, and pagination buttons load off to the left side of the table, shrinking the whole thing horizontally and making the controls essentially worthless (see screenshot attached)
I wanted to know if anyone else had experienced this or if there was a fix for this.
You were using an older version of WPDM there. I have installed the latest one. Now downloads are working.
WP 4.9.8 with WPDM updated and plug ins.
My downloads use the function to bring up the license agreement to be checked before allowing the download.
Chrome, Firefox, Edge appear to properly work.
Windows 10 with IE 11 – When clicking on the Download button to bring up the license agreement doesn’t appear to work, so users can not download when using IE 11.
Suggestions?

Hi,
You can use the Archive Page add-on to show all downloads using a single shortcode. This also makes all download accessible easily. Make the town commissions parent category and use years as child categories. Then a user can filter downloads using dropdowns from parent category.
Please check this demo https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-default/ Initial gray buttons are parent category but if you click the arrow in a parent it shows all child categories.
If you use this not need to add all commisions to your site menu. Just point to the shortcode page using a single entry i.e. Downloads.
Thanks.
Hi,
You have to install the Premium Package add-on to use add to cart button ( to sell downloads ). You can download it here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/premium-package-wordpress-digital-store-solution/
Package/download details page will show the add to cart button automatically if you set a price for the package.
Thanks.

Hello Thomas
We have encountered an issue that occurs in https://ramtaps.com.au/downloads/ page. When we use the search box in the page then the half page button should be shown. If I remove the search box then the all pagination button is shown. I have added a screenshot of the two pages of download in ramtaps.com.au. please check the difference in that page.
Please advise what the issue could be.
Please try adding the following code before line no 217 in /download-manager/tpls4/wpdm-all-downloads.php. That might solve the issue.
if( ! isset( $data['files'] ) ) $data['files'] = array();
I too am having this issue but only in certain environments (localhost XAMPP) and with the extended short code add-on with the table display using this [wpdm-all-packages items_per_page="50" jstable=1 order_by="title" order="ASC"]. I get on page displayed errors like this:
Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in C:\xampp\htdocs\2\wp-content\plugins\download-manager\tpls4\wpdm-all-downloads.php on line 217
Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in C:\xampp\htdocs\2\wp-content\plugins\download-manager\tpls4\wpdm-all-downloads.php on line 218
Warning: array_shift() expects parameter 1 to be array, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\2\wp-content\plugins\download-manager\tpls4\wpdm-all-downloads.php on line 220
These warning messages precede the table which otherwise seems to work fine. Using the file tree shortcode does not cause this. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.
Use the category shortcode to show your packages by category. Please check the documentation here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/
You have to set the order_by="title" and order="asc" to sort pacakges in ascending order ( A Z )
To insert shortcodes easily please install the TinyMCE add-on https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-tinymce-button/

Hi,
You have to use all packages table to show your downloads in a tabular format as shown in the screenshot.
Install the TinyMCE add-on ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-tinymce-button/ ). Using this add-on you can insert the table shortcode for selected categories and sub-categories.
Send login info in private reply if you want me to set up a demo page.
Thanks.
Hi,
It is not possible to control this option globally because each view has its own template and query. For example, all packages table has its own template which is different than the category shortcode template.
But you can control the order from the shortcode. Each shortcode has a parameter for sorting. Utilize it to alphabetically sort your packages.
Did you check the Archive Page add-on? Using this add-on you can display all your downloads from one place with search, filters options. Please check the demo here https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-default/
Thanks.
