After updating wpdm pro to latest version 5.4.1 and dropbox explorer addon to latest version 1.4.6.
it’s no longer showing previews of the files. Instead it’s showing the png placeholder.
Files are still downloadable.
We’ve already tried creating a new dropbox app and re-linking it but it didn’t help.
How do we show previews of files again?

Hi @tonystark,
In the free version in order to change the page link title colour please follow this screencast.
More details can be found in the docs.
However, with the Pro version of WPDM, you can easily edit a template file. Have a look at this.
Let me know if you need further assistance regarding this matter.
Thanks.
Hello,
Please use this shortcode instead of the mentioned to get package details.
[wpdm_all_packages categories="DACC Forms" items_per_page="20" jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="ASC/DESC" cols="page_link,package_size,download_count|download_link" colheads="Title|Download"]
You can get more parameters here.
I have changed the title into page_link, clicking which will fetch the package details too.
Let me know if it solves your issue.
Thanks
Hello,
You can check this to get details about styling
If this doesn’t solve the title issue, you have to use custom css. You can share the related link, then I would be able to provide custom css which will work.
Thanks

I have created a new template and changed the [page_url] link to [download_url] on the Title but it is still taking users to the Details page which we don’t want. The Download button works and takes them straight to the download but clicking the title takes them to the details. We have had this working correctly before, has there been an update which has changed this?
Are you talking about this option as I image attached,

For this section, you may check this doc, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/subscribers/
It also saves Google Connect Lock, LinkedIn Share Lock users as well
thanks
Hi Shahjada,

.entry-content embed, .entry-content iframe, .entry-content img, .entry-content object {
max-width: 100%;

Now everything is working fine, the zip was created because you have attached a dir path from Browse dir option as I image attached,

And for open a new tab, you can follow the link below documentation,
Template Files
by default, you are using link-template-default.php
for link template and page-template-default.php
for the page template. As documentation, you have to copy the file in the theme directory naming a folder called download-manager, then paste the tpls>page-templates
for page template or tpls>link-templates
for link template. And you have to replace [download_link]
with <a href="[download_url]" class="btn btn-primary" target=_blank>[link_label]</a>
in related php file.
Thanks.
Hello Nayeem,
I have searched and read a few posts about this issue. I am just adding a single pdf and when I click the link in my sidebar anything I’ve tried displays a download button and it is forcing the open or save as .zip file. I have checked the open in browser (setting) and played with templates. I just want to be able to upload as various users to a few categories pdf files mostly and I want a sidebar widget to open them in a browser. Its just not doing that.
thanks,

Hi,
When you have a multi-file package, and a user downloads the package, as you know it creates a zip from the attached files/attached PDF files and downloads it. if you are trying to disable/remove the zip download button, you may need to customize the related page/link template by removing the main download button and keep the single file download buttons. or you can also use other pre-made links/page templates
thanks
@admin Shahjada – I ended up buying a new license as the other one will expire in a few months anyways, gives me plenty of time to get what I want built. Plus I wanted to try a few other plugins so I purchased the all access pass. I made another post already as the memberships download link says “FILE NOT FOUND” – Also looking for support chat? which is another of the main reasons I purchased the all access pass.
Hi,
I found direct file download syntax as following:
http://your-site/wpdmdl=pacakge-id&ind=file-index
Can anyone advise please what the part “ind=file-index” is for? and what sort of problems it may cause if I use the link without it, I mean using the link only like:
http://your-site/wpdmdl=pacakge-id
Thank you.
@inbloomdigital, sorry for the confusion, probably the last reply was not elaborate enough. You may keep using it in your dev site for 15 days, however, even if you activate/use the license in your dev site, it is not a problem, you can unlink the dev site from your order details page here and use the license key in your production site when you move your site to the production server.
Please check the following doc to understand how to unlink a license to use it with a new site when you move WPDM PRO there:
License
For direct download link use the additional parameter download_link=1
in [wpdm_tree]
shortcode. i hope it will work then
thanks
Yes, I followed as in the https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/bulk-import/ & sample.csv but it didn’t work for external files which are in wasabi server.

Download error file not found!

Hi @sqmedia,
Hope you are well.
Please use the below template tag in your related package file which will display all the files in a package as a list.
[file_list]
If you want to add the template tag in a template file then you can follow the below procedure.
By default, you are using link-template-default.php for the link template and page-template-default.php for the page template. As documentation, you have to copy the file in the theme directory naming a folder called download-manager, then paste it in page-templates for page template or link-templates for link template. And you have to add the above-mentioned template tag there.
Hope you understand.
Thanks.

Hi @guardian88,
Hope you are well.
JStable only works with the below shortcode.
[wpdm_all_packages login=1 thumb=1 items_per_page="20" categories="slug1,slug2,..." jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="ASC/DESC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Update Date|Download::155px"]
More details can be found here.
However, you can use the below shortcode instead.
[wpdm_search_result init=1 template="link-template-default" cols=1]
More details can be found here.
Thanks.
