Hello Humayon. It was working perfect before v6.0 As a matter of fact I tried other download options even from the server and I am getting the same message no matter which method I use.
I get the Invalid download link.
I already had to provide one customer a direct link to get his package.
Thanks.

Hello I updated to version 6 and after updating the google drive addon, all I get is an “Invalid download Link” message in the page.
Hey @kevgregson,
Make sure that you are using the latest version of WPDM which is 3.2.01.

Hello @Jerry_Haugen,
Hope you are well. Do want to customize the link template or the package shortcode you are using on the page? you can create your own link-template via the Downloads > Templates
section and as I image attached.

For template tags, you can visit this doc, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/template-tags/
And for the add-to-cart option, are you using this add-on, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-file-cart/, please let me know and please ask if you have any query
Thank you and regards
Hi,
I created a package to download from a specific page using the package link.
Is it possible that the system does not create archive pages: /download-category/mocktails/ and /download/pdf-cahier-mocktails/, etc…
Because they are referenced by Google and I don’t want this.
Regards
Thank you for that. I think the plugin is great, and worked well in my situation there are some issues that could be resolved like sometimes if you enable the email lock for the package some of the users receive an email with an invalid download link not happen all the time but is frustrating, this is just the issue I had. I will probably be subscribing again in a few month’s time. Had to cancel it for time being due to personal circumstances, but will be back soon 🙂
Thank you for your help.
Sorry it transforme my code 😀
i have this code: <a href="[download_url]" class="btn btn-primary" target="_blank">[link_label]</a>
so the download opens in a new tab.
now i need that the single downloads also opens in a new tap with the [file_list] shortcode
Hi @trikdis,
Please use this Pastebin code,
https://pastebin.com/4bAmZ6WA
I have added the below lines downloads/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php
file in line number 295
$data['download_link'] = "<a target='_blank' class='btn btn-primary' href='".get_permalink($data['ID'])."'>"."Download"."</a>";
$download_link = $data['download_link'];
commenting out this line
// $data['download_link'] = \WPDM\Package::downloadLink($data['ID'], 0, array('template_type' ► 'link'));
I hope it should open a new tab for the related packages
and for making back up the file for the next update, please follow this doc, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/
thank you and regards
Hi @gmop-unite-com,
Hope you are well. I have got access from your link to the wp-admin panel. But I can’t able to find the Downloads
menu panel and also the Plugins
menu panel with that role. Can you please check that?
Thank you and regards

Hello,
i use this code from you, that opens the downloads in a new tab.
[link_label]
so how can i change that to the file_list?
Hello @wario,
Sorry to hear about the issue.
By enabling the single file download option. In a package, you can add multiple files ( as many as you want ), at from front-end when a user downloads this package, they will get a zip file containing all attached files, but if you enable Single File Download, a user also will be able to download any single file from attached files( Demo ), but when you enable individual file download option, you also need to use [file_list]
or [file_list_extended]
tag with your link or page template to show the file list with a download button at front-end, and templates are explained here.

Please let me know if the problem persists.
Thanks
Hello, I have a problem that I can’t make the download open in a new window or tab. I’m using wpdm_all_packages shortcode.
Also, I’m using bootstrap 4
and tried to add code metioned from other forum topic thread which is similar to mine. I added into downloads/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php
this line: $data['download_link'] = "<a target='_blank' class='btn btn-primary' href='".get_permalink($data['ID'])."'>"."Download"."</a>";
but nothing happens.
Hi guys – just putting together a “Digital Asset Library” using your plugin for a client. I’m a bit lost as to which add-on I need to enable multiple packages to be downloaded at once?.
I’m using a file link template on the pages as the customer doesn’t want a “full information pages” for the items – and so I want to add in a “add to cart/collection” button to the link template to enable the user to select a number of items before “downloading” in one go.
Is this possible, and in which case what add-ons do I need to make this happen?
Many thx
Hello @seblito,
You are using the free version of WPDM. That is the reason there is no link template option.
If you use the premium version of wpdm, you would see like this:

There is available edit and clone menu for your templates in PRO, however, you can also edit the templates PHP file from plugins > download-manager > tpls
folder and follow this doc too, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/
However, you can check the difference between free and paid wpdm here.
Thanks
Hello @bpw1133,
I am sorry that Frontend author does not have the ability to create tag option yet. Author have to select the admin created tags and categories in the frontend.
However if you need this feature, You can contact our customization team through the email address which is given below.
customize@wpdownloadmanager.com
or through this link.
With Best Regards
As an example using your demo pages:
I am looking to link from the category blocks(https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/category-blocks/) when you click “EXPLORE” button in the Videos category, it brings up, the advanced search page(https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/advanced-search-left/) with the video category a selected and showing results.
If this is not possible can you tell me how I can set a default result in the advance search. IE: I want the videos to be selected when the results show. I can easily build out my own categories into a grid format, I just need a way to define the results when i link to the next page.
Hi @martindelange,
Please follow the below link in order to create your own template.
Template Files
You can follow this as well.
After creating your own template you can use it in Elementor by following this.
However, about the small graphics issue at the bottom with the file metadata, it seems that you are using an Elementor divider/separator. So just remove it and it will be removed. Also, in order to add discrete elements to your Elementor template please use this module.
Thank you

This is what I can see when I click on Download on your link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wh9XMOM4n1CpO9T1Y_XiwYFs_msLfGd1/view?usp=sharing
My license has been renewed this morning, and it’s active and recognized by the plugin…
Hi again,
I can’t find the Achive Page addon in the link you provided, when I click on the Download button in my order section.
A popup appears with a long list of addons, but there is no “Archive Page”.
At the moment I got the addon old version (3.01) from a backup so at least our downlaod page works again, but I’d like to update it to the latest 4.13
do you have maybe a direct link for the addon?
Perfect.
Can you see your own demo link: https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/download/pdf-viewer/
This is what I see when I view the page: https://wencelworldwide.d.pr/CydOzE
And one thing! I guess you need to turn on the dark mode on your OS. Because my OS is in Dark mode. Maybe that has something do with this error? I’m using MacOS and it is dark. If you can force the PDF previewer to not change to dark mode, then it shows even better and we don’t need to find that icon?
Let me know if you have any questions.

For more details, You could check the csv fields here . There are other lock fields except form lock.
You can request a feature for plugin here. Maybe it could be adjusted on next updates.
