We are running WP Multisite 4.98, DM 5.094. We have made no changes to our system or app other than updating our cloudflare cert on Monday, July 5. As of Tuesday, July 6, all downloads were working. We discovered on Friday, July 9 that many of them were generating a 500 error.
Pertinent Notes and Testing
– We updated our cloudflare certificates on July 5. At tis time we received a 500 error on any downloads. We had to clear cache on sites with download manager to get downloads working again.
– We disabled caching for a specific document link, cleared, cache and the error still occurs.
– Logged in users do not receive a 500 error.
– We compared the database, WP records and fileserver for packages that work and package that do not and cold find no difference.
– It appears that possibly download manager posts created before 2/1/2019 work vs. those created later but as we have 1000s of files distributed across 300+ sites it is difficult to confirm. There were no significant updates to our app at that time.
– New packages always generate the error.
We have no issues with files uploaded in the media library but if we create a package and point it to a media library file, it still fails.
– We have reviewed the error logs on both our webservers and there are no PHP errors.Example of a working package: https://hr.gsu.edu/download/equifax-education-employment-form/?wpdmdl=6545303
Example of a failing package: https://hr.gsu.edu/download/cluster-hiring-for-research/?wpdmdl=6541804We are a large public university with a high profile and our security does not allow us to provide vendors with direct access to our servers so that is not an option for us to resolve these. We could schedule a time to do a remote session where you can see the servers and database with us navigating. At this point, we need some immediate guidance on what to look for that may be causing the issues.
Please note: we are unable to upgrade WordPress or Download Manager at this time to test due to the complexity of our configuration. However, everything was working earlier this week. We have been long time users of your product and are probably the largest. We would really appreciate immediate expert technical assistance on this issue. Let us know if there is additional information we can provide.
Thanks.
Hello,
My download page has an issue since the last updates.
Current plugins and versions:
- Download Manager – Version 3.2.07
WPDM – Archive Page – Version 4.1.4
WPDM – Extended Short-codes – Version 2.9.0
WPDM – TinyMce Button – Version 2.9.0The download page shows the text
app_card.phpinstead of showing the file to download.See here: https://missingchildreneurope.eu/publication-hub/.
The shortcode I am using is this:
[wpdm_archive_filter items_per_page="12" link_template="app_card" cols=3 colspad=2 colsphone=1]Could you please help me?
Thank you,
Best wishes

Hi,
Firstly, could you have a search feature just within the forum? Over 16k of topics and you can’t search for keywords.
I’m using Elementor. I want to use an image widget and use a shortcode to download a PDF that has EmailLock enabled. How do I do this? Can’t work it out.
Finally, I added ‘Direct Download Link’ widget to a page in Elementor – now I can’t delete this widget. Bug here I think. I have all the latest plugin updates.
Thanks
Hi,
After I updated to the new version (3.2.03) the custom icons I have chosen for the different file uploads dont show. I have tried to re-apply the icons, but they don’t seem to change. The custom icons show up just fine in the Download Manager settings in WordPress, but only the standard icons actually show on my site. I have also turned caching off.
I also had changed to hide [page_link] and only show [title] on the “download bar”. This also is changed, and the link is back.
Is there a way to fix these issues?
Topic: Cannot download version 6
I cannot download any of the version 6 files. The link on my download page still shows version 5.4.0 as the most recent version. This seems to happen every time there is a new version available.
Regarding ‘All Packages’ which we us a lot, since the version 6 upgrade, the JS table isn’t working properly. I wanted the initial view to show date order descending. (Newest at the top), also the icons have stopped showing.
Previously I changed the code so that the title had the direct file download link. Can this option be included?Here’s my shortcode
[wpdm-all-packages items_per_page="20" categories="Quarterly" jstable=1 order_by="update_date" order="DESC"]Here’s the page
https://www.cobaltblueholdings.com/financial-reports/Topic: Invalid Download Link
After updating to Download Manager 3.2.03 none of our package links are working. For each we are receiving an error of “Download Link Invalid”. I have reinstalled the add-ons, re-uploaded the PDF files, reset the permalinks, and re-created the download button. I will send over admin details in a private message and any help or guidance you could provide would be really helpful.
Thank you so much!
