Hello,
Thank you for the clarification.
[download_url] is not showing the correct URL because you have set it to Block the download URL when a user is not allowed to download like this.
The valid/actual link will show only for the Allowed access.
I hope you understand now.
Regards
Hello @akotherm_hompage,
Greetings for the day.
To achieve instant download functionality without going to a separate page, you have to edit the related link templates and then use [download_link] instead of the [page_link] template tag.
Template tag details can be found in the below link.
https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/template-tags/
Also, follow the template override procedure as well.

Thank you, I got the special now.
But I am having a problem.
How can I show the update date of a file (i.e when last the file was updated)
I need the shortcode for it
I used the Simple download link text shortcode.

Thanks
Hi Humayon,
I missed your earlier post about updating to 6.0.9, which I’ve just done and that seemed to resolve the auto-publish feature. However, per my other open ticket, the link is still broken on the download.
Kind regards,

Hello. We are looking to allow for download of PDFs but with an optional email capture. We want something where underneath the form where the person enters in their name and email, there is a direct download link.
Is this possible? Thanks.

I got an email about my Download Manager expiring soon and a button to click to renew. When i click the button, it takes me to my dashboard but nowhere to renew the subscription.
Hello,
Yes, the URL is correct, if you have selected the Mask Download link option.
Anyway, are you still facing any issues while downloading directly?
As the website you have shared is asking for a password like this.
If still, the problem exists then please provide us with your temporary wp-admin login details and site URL in a private reply for checking the issue.

Hi Humayon,
I followed the instructions, and I think it’s correct, but the URL attached to the file in the accordion is this:
https://devweb.neonet.org/board/#
Here’s the code for my template:
Template ID: accordion_download
<div class="media well link-template-widget">
<a class="mr-3 img-48" href="[download_url]">
[icon]
</a>
<div class="media-body">
<a href="[download_url]" style="display: block;clear: bottom;font-size: 11pt;font-weight: bold;">[title]</a>
<div style="font-size: 9pt;">
<i class="fas fa-hdd color-green"></i> [file_size] <i class="fa fa-copy ml-3"></i>
[file_count] file(s)
</div>
</div>
</div>
And here is the shortcode widget in my elementor plugin:
[wpdm-accordion template="accordion_download" cats="Board Meetings" cat_style="info" subcat_style="default" orderby="download_count" order="desc" ]
Any thoughts? Kind regards,
-Scott

Hi Humayon,
Thank you for this info. In my situation, I am using a short-code widget within Elementor:
[wpdm-accordion template="link-template-widget" cats="Assembly" cat_style="info" subcat_style="default" orderby="download_count" order="desc" ]
The template Ii’ve created is a Link Template (referenced above), and not a page template.
Any thoughts on what might not be correct in what I’m doing in this case?
Kind regards,
Tamra

Hello,
I have a files section on our website that uses the accordion widget to display our files and file directories. This is working great.
I would like to make the linked file instantly downloadable from there and instead of loading a separate page. Is this possible, I can’t seem to find an option to do this in settings.
Here’s a screen shot of our document accordion list.

Hi,
I’ve a few of questions I’m hoping I can get an answer for!
1. With the ready to use templates are some of these paid? I prefer the “Panel 1/3” or “3 Columns, Detailed” template but cant see that option? It’d be a nice edit to mention free/pro next to each template if that’s the case!
2. Do you know if hCaptcha support will ever be added? Prefer it over reCAPTCHA and other elements of the site uses hCaptcha so will match + hCaptcha earns site owners $ money.
3. When clicking the “DOWNLOAD” button the modal pops up with my custom T&Cs > checking to agree > verify captcha > instead of clicking the download button that appears after captcha it’s redirecting me to the link of the file on Mega.nz instead of downloading? If forcing download isn’t possible with URL any method to open new tab instead of redirect?
I’ve to use mega for the file due to the format isn’t allowed and although I’ve added it to the “allowed file types to upload” via Settings > Basic it doesn’t work. On the “SELECT FILE” it lets me select it but then wont actually upload/attach the file.
4. I’m using the “Call to Action 3” template. However, the modal login form is slightly broken, is this WP:DM issue or my templates? reCAPTCHA goes slightly outside the window.
Screenshot: 
PS: This page is broken: https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/button-templates-add-on-free Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class ‘WPDM\Package’ not found
Cheers!
Stay safe.

Hello,
In order to render the PDF to the browser, you can use the Single Column with Doc Preview page template.
However, if you add the pdf from the media library and unmask download links, they could be indexed by google.
