I would like to have the downloads show only with the Download button.
I don’t want an active link to redirect users to the single download page.
How can I go about this
Hello Sean Thornton,
For link-templates you can keep only [title] in your template for package title, you can also clone a link template from your Downloads > Templates section, adjust it and apply it for packages thereby. please let me know if you have more queries
Thank you and regards
Hi,
After the upgrade, our previous links and new downloadlinks for multiple files in 1 package is not working,
Only the individual links (single file in a package) is working.
Please help.
Regards,
Dennis
Hello Hayeem,
The URLs so far are:
https://ddics.michaeloglesby.com/publications/
https://ddics.michaeloglesby.com/freedom-of-information/
But I would like to complete disable the title link to the Post Type and have users click the Title link to download instead; is this possible?
Best regards
Sean
First of all, congratulation on the product. We upgraded WPDM 6.1.2 on WP 5.8.3 and got some problems:
– a database error: [Table ‘bibliote_wp.wp_ahm_order_items’ doesn’t exist] select oi.*, o.order_status, o.date as order_date from wp_ahm_order_items oi,wp_ahm_orders o where o.order_id = oi.oid and o.uid = 3 and o.order_status IN (‘Expired’, ‘Completed’) order by order_date desc
– the WP session expires very often, practically in seconds. I cannot identify the cause.
– the icons from downloads are missing. I can upload them in /wp-content/plugins/download-manager/assets/file-type-icons but there is a way to update the links of downloads?
– the tags on the downloads are missing from WPDM interface but present in WP tags area. There is a way to import back?
Regards,
Eugen
Dear WPDM,
WordPress: 5.8.3
WPDM: 6.1.2
WPDM Directory Add-on: 4.4.1
PHP: 8.0.13
Is there a way, either via custom-functions.php code, or a setting, or a add-on, whereby I can disable the package title link to the package Post. I would like users to download the package directly from the Call-To-Action button as well as the Package Title.
Is this possible?
Best regards,
Sean
Hi @Robertwikholm,
You can update files from the file list of any package from the attached file list.

You will just remove the old file from there then reupload the newer and keep the file name same. In this way you can add newer version number there.
If you want to show only directory url, then either you have to add files by using SELECT FILES FROM SERVER or SELECT FROM MEDIA LIBRARY.

Also you can use the below shortcode to make direct download links for any packages.

Hope you understand.
Thank you
Hello Sten,
Hope you are well. Do you want to activate the download link to an image as I share the link here?

I purchased Download Manager Pro to create custom “Link Templates” and “Page Templates”.
How can I assign my created “Page Templates” to all the files I have already uploaded without having to open them one by one?
Hi there,
I have updated the plugin to the latest free version(kept the old version as backup zip file in the plugin directory) and it seems all downloads are present. Here’s the reference screenshot.
However, your subscription is over that’s why the download plugin button is not present in the dashboard link I have shared before.

Hello Pierre,
I have found the issue for Download Button Color and Link Label issue of the All Download Table shortcode. Soon you shall be updated
Thank you and regards
I dont have the Pro version. I bought it some years back. On the reference link you have shared, I can’t see any download plugin button also.
Hi Nayeem,
Thanks for helping me with the link label issue.
Unfortunately I’m working on a private development site so I won’t be able to send you the link for issue one (re: permission-denied txt file). I was wondering if this may be an issue you have encountered before and if so – you’d be able to help out without a link anyways.
Just to provide some extra detail, the txt file is titled “permission-denied” and contains the following error message:
You don’t have permission to download this file
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Auto-install sometimes fails due to auth error or server file permission issue.
However, you can always download any add-on from the below link.

Have a good day!
Hello Patricia,
Hope you are well. For changing link label, please check the package settings option as I image attached,

For more details, you may check this doc,
https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/add-new-package/package-settings/
And For issue one, Can you please share the related URL for checking the issue?
Thank you and regards
Hello,
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Could you please tell me which plugin and addons you are using?
Please also share the related page/package/downloads links to check the issue further.
Thanks
Hi,
I’ve seen that this issue has been posted on this forum before but it didn’t provide the answer I was after.
Currently when I try to access a protected file (via URL link) when I’m not signed in, the plugin automatically downloads a permission-denied txt file which contains an error message. I was wondering if there was a way to stop it from automatically downloading this, and instead redirect the user to the login page whilst showing the error message.
Also this is off-topic, but I was wondering if there is a way to edit the text of the ‘Download’ button. I had a look at the template PHP files but I wasn’t able to find where I could edit it.
Thank you in advance.

Dear Nayeem,
Thnx for your quick response. In parallel I found out that using [WPDM_..] shortcode at the action buttons caused the problem. After replacing the shortcode by a copy of the download link, the downloads are executed properly.
Kind regards,
Jacqueline.
