After I updated the download manager to version 3.3.06, the shortcode [wpdm_tree] stopped filtering by categories. All documents are listed, regardless of category. I also updated the WPDM – Extended Short-codes plugin to version 3.2.0 and it still didn’t work properly. Before the update, it was working normally. I was using version 2.9.81 of the download manager and version 2.8.2 of WPDM – Extended Short-codes. I’m using the short-code like this: [wpdm_tree category=”editais” orderby=”date” order=”ASC” download_link=1]. What could be happening?
How can I force Download Manager to use my local hosted Nunito Sans font? This is what I see in the source:
<meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress Download Manager 3.3.06″ />
                <link href=”https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Nunito Sanswght200300regular500600700800900200italic300italicitalic500italic600italic700italic800italic900italic”
              rel=”stylesheet”>
Hiya
If you go here:
https://lightmaster-direct.co.uk/product/shop/save/downlights-save/plata-medium-surface-fixed-square-spotlight-s2471-white/
And do specsheet and press download – it’s downloading a zip file despite one PDF file being uploaded.
Do you know why it’s started zipping files instead of opening the PDF in a new window?
We’ve also lately had a load of PDF now through an invalid file type error:
https://lightmaster-direct.co.uk/product/shop/lightmaster-own-products/up-lights/ulan-pico-recessed-fixed-round-footlight-f3031-brushed-stainless-steel/
If you click spec sheets and press the link again.
Do you know why this is happening?
We haven’t changed anything, and some of the files have been on for years, which is why it’s all the more puzzling.
Re=uploading the file and copying the and resetting the shortcode generally solves it, but what if this then happens again? We would like to know why this is happening or if the current errors can be resolved easily enough to prevent redoing everything.
This is the file in the media manager:
https://lightmaster-direct.co.uk/product/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/dlm_uploads/2022/01/3031-Ulan-Pico-recessed-horizontal-JGC-V1.6.pdf
and you’ll see it’s thrown the error. Can you see why?
Thank you for your help.
After the last update, I am no longer able to use the “download page” links when creating a Generate Temporary Download Link on a package.The page now renders a blank blue page instead of the correct info. Please see link below.
Can you please let me know what is causing this to happen? Thank you so much for you help.
Hello,
I’m trying to achieve something using the Download manager plugin and hoping you can guide me on how to do it.
I want to upload files and have them protected to be downloaded only by certain user roles I’ve already configured.
I was able to achieve that via the plugin interface, but I need to get a link for each file to add to a custom field I created so that it shows up on my page
https://share.nmblc.cloud/1736183147088-screenshot-cellmicrosystems_boldfocus_com-2025_01_06-12_05_34.png
The link on my page will appear only to the user role I configured, which is already set in Elementor.
My question is after I upload a file to the Download manager plugin, how do I get the direct link to add to my custom field?
Also, if someone has teh direct link to this file but doesn’t have the user privileges I set when uploading it will he be able to access the file or not?
Thank you.
We have set up the AWS S3 cloud storage plugin on our website.
The primary use is to offload PDF attachments used in Learndash courses. We use the wpml_direct_link shortcode to display and protect documents so they can be accessed directly in LearnDash courses by eligible students.
For new packages everything appears to be working as expected. New files we add to Download Manager are saved to S3, and they work as expected when linked to the course with wpml_direct_link.
We have then set up auto-sync to offload our existing download packages to the same S3 bucket. When the cron job is active, this works and it begins to offload the files with the oldest first.
However, when we try to access the offloaded existing documents we get an XML ‘Access Denied’ message in the browser window.
What extra steps are needed to allow existing packages to be used with the wpml_direct_link shortcode?
Hi, I have a shortcode that looks like this:
[wpdm_all_packages login=1 thumb=1 items_per_page="20" categories="meeting-materials" jstable=1 order_by="publish_date" order="DESC" cols="title|categories|publish_date|download_link" colheads="Title::80%|Categories|Publish Date|Download::155px"]
I’d like to be able to display files by date, such that I want to publish everything from 2024, or publish everything before 2024. Is this something we can do with your shortcodes? If not, do you have a solution?
Thanks!
Brendan
