If it is your page template, then you can remove it by customizing the related template from Downloads > Templates also you can remove it by editing related PHP file from plugins > download-manager > tpls > link-templates/page-templates

hello,
For showing PDF thumbnail in the link template, you have to use [pdf_thumb_WxH] template tag in your link-template, for more template tag, you can see the doc here, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/template-tags/

I have seen that it is not linked properly for download, can you put the full path with protocol link in the package_dir, then please let us know,
thanks
Great – found it – and thanks again!
Actually I had seen this setting before, but I obviously misinterpreted the following explanation:
“Check this option if you want to mask/unmask file download link. If you unmask download link, bots will be able the find any public download link easily.”
I saw that the option was set to “Mask”, and from that explanation I concluded that this is kind of a protection against bots. I did not realize that it is also a protection against users!
Anyway, the download page itself is not public anyway, but only for registered users, so your proposed setting is definitely correct.
Kind regards, Cornelis
Hi,
For #1, #1.a,
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 it in 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
For #1.b please share your file URL,
For #2, you can update your description page of related file,
thanks
Thanks.
please check now i have also adjusted some settings and also your link-template PHP file, http://muskratmedia.com/chiefsofontario.com/downloads/, let me know if it works for you
thanks
Glad to hear this your problem has been resolved, I have just unmasked the download link from basic settings,
thanks
Create custom form from Admin Menu ► Downloads ► Settings ► Quick Forms, and you can link the form with email lock from Admin Menu ► Downloads ► Edit Package ► Package Settings ► Lock Options ► Enable Email Lock section

Hi,
The easiest way is Enable Email Lock method and the login details will be enlistd in Downloads>Subscribers.
And for registration form and modified registration field please check the following link.You will get to know in details.
https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/how-to-create-a-wordpress-user-registration-form/
I see, you are using email lock, with email lock, there are 2 confirmation emails, one is for the new subscriber and another one comes when the user clicks on the download link.

Oke. I think I understand. But how can I disable 1 mail notification, so I only get 1 download notification mail?

- Two types of downloads: one for all logged in users, one for customers only (specified by user roles)
- The downloads are managed by “WPDM Packages by Category” widgets
- The link template is customized as shown below
- The purpose is to immediately start the download (downloads for all) or after accepting the conditions (dld for customers), with no additional template showing that has a “Prev” and “Next” button that would lead to packages that are not supposed to be visible for the category of users
Here follows the template code. The [download_link_extended] does all the above, generates the word “Download” marked as link and also reacting like a link should react on mouse click – only the download is not starting, like the link goes to nowhere.
<style>
.app_name {
color: #0000c0;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: larger;
font-weight: lighter;
}
.company_name {
color: #408080;
font-family: sans-serif;
}
.ptitle {color: #408080; fint-size: xx-large; }
</style>
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-body">
<div class="media">
<div class="pull-left">[icon]</div>
<div class="media-body"><strong class="ptitle">[title]</strong>
[description]
<div><strong>[download_link_extended]</strong></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="panel-footer">[file_size]</div>
</div>
For showing all categories and downloads on a single page with different styles, you can use this add-on, and you will also able to customize the link-templates for using in that shortcode,
WPDM Directory Add-on
and for elementor, you can use this add-on,
Elementor Addons
please let me know further if you need more help,
thanks
There also available default link and page template in the package settings > dropdown page or link templates, but if you want to bulk apply to the all packages, you can use this add-on, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-default-values/, and for login issue, please share your package URL
thanks
Can you remind me how to set the default link and page template?
When I login to download a pkg I stay on the customer login page instead of being redirected to the pkg title named page.
You will find Image Hover Split template in Import Template option from Downloads > Templates option, and then you can use it as a link template, for package inside folder you can use [wpdm_tree] shortcode, and you have to use this add-on, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-extended-short-codes/

Image Hover Split from import template, please let me know if you need more help,

Hi!
Yes… I try to explain me better 🙂
In my website I don’t need to use page feature. I only need a unique link template that open file in new tab.
In my template (cloning and modifying link_template_panel):
<div class="card">
<div class="card-body">
<div class="media">
<a class="mr-3 img-48" href="[page_url]">
[thumb_96x96]
</a>
<div class="media-body">
<h3 class="media-heading p-0 m-0">[page_link]</h3>
<div class="meta text-white-50 text-small mt-1"><i class="fas fa-hdd text-white-50"></i> [file_size] <i class="ml-2 far fa-arrow-alt-circle-down text-white-50"></i> [download_count] [txt=Descàrregues]</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="card-footer"><div class="row"><div style="line-height: 30px;" class="col-6">[create_date] </div><div class="col-6 text-right align-right"><a href="[download_url]" class="btn btn-primary" target="_blank">[link_label]</a></div><div style="clear: both"></div></div></div>
</div>
I want to have thumbnail and media heading, but I don’t want to link to page_url. I need to link them to download_url (like DOWNLOAD button).
Can you help me with that code?
To transalte, I will use Loco Translate 🙂
Thank you very much!
