Thank you for responding. But that only shows a pre-made template with the title of the document (linked) and download counts. I’m looking for either just the ‘Download’ button custom key or just the download botton.
Furthermore, all the modules as for ‘Package’ parameters, which is counter intuitive for a custom template, because the idea is the template will fetch the package automatically.
Here’s a temporary access if needed: https://data.reqiq.co/wp-admin/?wtlwp_token=938d851934d290622abc30ee623062cd39d5503da8ff38b3621f86184bd51ee62f962ebee7c7cd7373431236911a5e3b511aa3ec9aeb5368aaa130b98b8c03ed

Hi everyone,
1.I am new in this. Ive uploaded a file and i cannot see the link from download manager to copy and paste into my pages where necessary.
2. If i use the direct link (for example this one: https://empowertruelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/EN-3Day-A-Balanced-Mindset-this-Holiday-Season.pdf ) after i download it does not count my downloads in the downloadmanager.
I hope you can help me out ?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings,
Gabriela

I think you misunderstand my question. I have changed from linking to Mailerlite and I just want the Subscribers in you plugin to tick a box then to be populated by people registering for downloads.
Surely this is the basis of having the Subscriber list as part of your plugin?
The Subsciber section for package email lock, google lock and linkedin lock download users, for more details, you can check the detail here,
Lock Options
Please kindly check and let me know.
Thank you and kind regards

When using the download history and download history on profile links they seem to go to the download page instead of the actual file itself.
For example. If I download image.jpg it will show up in the download history. However if i click on the link to redownload it, it does not redownload image.jpg it takes me to the product page instead. How can this be addressed and fixed.

Hello
I have an issue with the template for the downloads page. I have a template set on the backend but it doesn’t use the one selected and also it shows a Reset Filter issue when I change the shortcode.
I set my custom template to only show the download title and link.
Is this the right shortcode to use?
[wpdm_all_packages login=0 thumb=1 items_per_page="200" categories="A211 May 2024" jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="ASC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date|download_link"]
This is the broken template page:
A211 Financial Mathematics
Yes, Master Download Link bypasses the restriction and does direct download. Please kindly check and let me know.
Thank you and regards
After further investigation, I have been able to solve this issue, but want to share what I found because it may impact you since these did used to work just fine. This is happening on PDF Viewer previews with both the [doc_preview]
and [pdf_gallery]
shortcodes.
It appears that if the .xlsx file isn’t saved with “view only” permissions, the preview won’t show…it also won’t download or show the preview/download links in the attached files. Instead, I get an error that says “File not found. The URL of the original file is not valid or the document is not publicly accessible. Verify the URL is correct, then contact the document owner” and it links to Microsoft Office help.
Once file permissions are updated, they preview and download fine. Is this completely a file type issue or is there something that can be done on the WPDM side to fix?
So if I understand correctly, a person can access the files if they have the master download link, regardless of login status? I’d really like to make it so non-members cannot access the file at all.
Hello Brendan Parker,
Hope you are well. You are doing Master Download Link, it will do so, it bypasses the restriction and does direct download. You can use [download_link]
template tag for normal restricted downloads of files. Please kindly check and let me know.
Thank you and kind regards
Thanks for clarifying. Please understand the actual accessibility issue though. It is not good enough to just apply the exact same link label text on all of my links either. They have to all be different from each other to comply. This is not accomplished with a single bulk update unless I can use some dynamic shortcode or way to use the document’s title within the label (like “Download {{Post_Title}} file”). Understand?
No with the default value add-on you can bulk apply to download link label to all of your existing 700+ documents. Please kindly check.
Thank you and kind regards
That add-on looks interesting for initial default settings for new or copied downloads, but I already have 700+ documents input so isn’t helpful in this case. This also still does not fix the WCAG accessibility issue (2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context): The purpose of each link can be determined from the link text alone or from the link text together with its programmatically determined link context, except where the purpose of the link would be ambiguous to users in general. (Level A) ). Each download link/label needs to be contextual and different from the others around it. You would need to be able to apply the document title dynamically for this to be a manual solution. Why not just take this as a future suggestion to make your plugin web accessible by default?
For applying bulk renaming to download link label, you can check our this default valu add-on, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-default-values/. Please kindly check.
Thank you and kind regards
Hi There,
I purchased pro, its linked to my site, I had it active, and now its gone. I need to redownload the file for pro but I cannot find it.
Thank you

When purchasing Download Manager, the Order ID was somehow linked to the email address used for the Paypal account instead of the one required to use Download Manager. We need assistance to get this Order ID linked to the correct account.
This is not a unique or custom problem with our installation specifically, but an overall accessibility issue within your own plugin. Please see your own Demo pages as an example: https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/list-packages/. Any time there is a button on the frontend from your plugin (“View More”, “Download”, “Add to Cart”, “Details”, etc.), you need to apply a unique, contextual “aria-label” attribute to it with more context for screen readers. Otherwise, it fails basic WCAG compliance (https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/navigation-mechanisms-refs.html). Having a long list of files with the exact same “Download” labeled button one after the other does not provide enough context to users and screen readers on what that link/button will actually do or which file it will download. I’ve just manually added an aria-label=’Download {$post_vars[‘title’]} file’ to your code mentioned to remedy this and fix this accessibility issue temporarily. The preference would be the plugin actually gets fixed and updated throughout for this specific accessibility issue though. Thank you!
Hi,
Using a download link via shortcode. I’ve set up the ‘must agree with terms’ option, but the file just downloads. No checkbox. No agreement with terms.
Suggestions?
Getting hundreds of Ambiguous Anchor Text errors when remediating for web accessibility issues on pages using this plugin. When using the Default Link Template, it shows a button next to each file with the ambiguous/generic text “Download” for all of them. Recommend fixing this by adding an Aria Label to these buttons that also includes the file name/title so each download button is unique and contains the proper context for screen readers (i.e. “Download Sample.pdf file”). Maybe handled better elsewhere, but I hard-coded this temporary fix to download-manager/src/Package/PackageController.php:312. Please advise. Thank you!
Hi Again Nayeem Riddhi,
I want to get the package ID that is displayed on my page, is it possible? I am using a combination of the shortcode:
[wpdm_category id="details, terraclad" operator="AND" order_by="create_date" order="ASC" cols="2" colspad="2" colsphone="1" toolbar= "0" paging="0" ]
And I modified the default template to display the structure I need, I tried to use get_the_ID but it returns me the post ID but not all the packages that are displayed on my page
<!-- WPDM Link Template: Default Template -->
<div class="link-template-default card mb-2">
<?php
echo 'Post ID: ' . get_the_ID();
?>
<div class="card-body">
<div class="media">
<div class="mr-3 img-48">[icon]</div>
<div class="media-body">
<h3 class="package-title">[page_link]</h3>
<div class="text-muted text-small"><i class="fas fa-copy"></i> [file_count] [txt=file(s)] <i class="fas fa-hdd ml-3"></i> [file_size]</div>
</div>
<div class="ml-3">
[file_list_extended]
[download_link]
