I’ll buy the Pro version if needed, but need a couple questions answered first.
I submitted my questions to chat a couple times, but there is never a response.
I created categories for the files uploaded to DM and assigned the files to the categories. However, the slug for the files do not include the categories. Can DM be configured to include the file categories in the slugs?
Can DM be configured so that when someone clicks on a link on the front-end of the site, the file either opens in the browser (such as a pdf) or is downloaded, instead of being brought to a download screen on the website?
Thanks in advance,
Greg

[similar_downloads] is only for page templates to display similar packages from same tag and category.
You can use it in your custom page template, not in link template.
correct syntax is [similar_downloads]
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="card mb-3 p-3 hide_empty [hide_empty:featured_image]">[featured_image]</div>
</div>

Hello,
Thank you.
I would like to use the built-in [similar_downloads] template tag for better performance.
Is it possible to display the related packages using my custom link template:
qenshrin_card_rtl
If so, what is the correct syntax?
Thank you.

Hello Olaf,

Please kindly check
Thank you
Download package goes via email lock check. Email comes correctly and the 1st download works.
When trying to use the download button in the same email once again, I get the message:
– Invalid download link –
in the browser.
If you are trying to remove those Facebook and Twitter text links, please explore this directory,
and remove those texts from download-manager\src\__\views\email-templates\default.html from the 205-210 line.
And making a backup for the related files you may follow this doc,
Template Files
please check and let me know
Thank you and regards
Hi Nayeem
Thanks very much. This works. I’m also finding the layout of the default link template in columns doesn’t work – I’m not sure how long this has been the case. Please see your demo here: https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/
For our site, we have a min-width of 200px set on the .package-title class so it’s hidden beneath the DOWNLOAD button. Perhaps these columns inside the ‘card-body’ could be blocks on mobile?
Thanks very much!
Hello Nayeem,
´there are no social link adjustment ind the path you described.
When I select the preview of an email template, there are entries in the footer as follows:
___________________________
Facebook | Twitter
Powered by Download Manager
____________________________
which we can neither remove now edit.
Hello Olaf,
Hope you are well. Please kindly check the Downloads > Templates > Email Templates > Email Settings social link adjustments. Please kindly check and let me know if it helps you.
Thank you and regards
In the shortcode, you have a parameter called “template.” In the “template” parameter, you can use any link template. You can find pre-built link templates here: Downloads > Templates > Link Templates. To use the [doc_preview] template tag, you can clone any existing template and use this template tag in that template. Then, you can use that template ID in your shortcode. Please let me know if you have understood properly now.
Thank you.
[wpdm_my_downloads login=1 template=link-template-widget cols=2 cats=1] does not show latest donwloads. Resetting caches does not help. Sometimes adding an extra package makes the previous package to appear. Sometimes not.
UPD:
Here was a misunderstanding of what the shortcode does. I thought it is showing downloads specific to the logged in user. However, it show the HISTORY of the dowmloads, if I understand it correctly now. Now I am happy with [wpdm_tree] for my purpose.
Currently, the WPDM plugin can only be managed by Administrators. In order to better support downloads in mixed-membership organisations, it would be great to introduce permissions that could be attached to individual roles related to WPDM. At minimum, there should be:
* Ability to create / read / update / delete Packages
* Ability to generate / send links to Packages
* Ability to manage tags / categories
* Ability to view statistics
* Ability to configure plugin settings
And likely more.
Hello Tahasin,
I tried to copy paste the contents of the page/link template, but was stopped by WordFence.
The name of the page template in use for the page is: Fireware – Pagina template.
The name of the link template in use for the page is: CTA Fireware subcat – download.
Is that sufficient information?

I have increased the Private Download Link Expiration Period to check if this is causing the invalid link.

The DropZone and Messages add-ons need to be updated to work properly in dark mode. They both show blinding white regions that should not be the case when using dark mode. These white areas even blind out the text so you cant see it properly.
You can see examples of this in your online demos. If you go to the user dashboard and visit DropZone or Messages you can see all those white areas need to be fixed so its a different color- perhaps a dark grey, etc. As of right now it looks really jarring.
Here are some example links:
