I have the same problem. I have the pro version- a window pops up for name and email- then the link provided (option set to automatically download) returns invalid download link
Thanks to user “Derek” on this thread (https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/topic/email-download-link-preview-shows-lorem-ipsum/) for providing a solution back in 2017. Not sure why I didn’t find this earlier.
Wanted to let the moderator and devs know that this “preheader text” content showing up in my gmail inbox is in fact coming from WPDM. You can modify it here:
SOLVED: Found the text in the “Hidden Preheader Text” in the template HTML source file (ie. /download-manager/email-templates/luminus.html)
Hi everyone,
after trying to update Download Manager Pro to the latest version I got a critical error. This ist the log part of the massage I received:
Ein Fehler vom Typ E_ERROR wurde in der Zeile 200 der Datei /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/download-manager.php verursacht. Fehlermeldung: Uncaught Error: Class ‘WPDM\Installer’ not found in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/download-manager.php:200

Since this error several problems occured:
- all formatted buttons are links only
- the search field disappeared
- no pagination (all dwonloads on one page)
- all icons disappeared
Because the download area is an important part of our intranet we need a solution for these issues as soon as possible.
Thanks
Harry
The download button does not work on the first page of files but pages two through the end work just fine. The download button on the first page is not the normal button as it is a simple text link.

We are also experiencing the same issue as this: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/topic/file-cart-package-list-issues/#post-134238 with the File Cart plugin not working but was asked to create a new ticket. We first noticed that the directory shortcode was no longer working so we went to update the plugin and it failed to update. In order to update, we had to disable and delete the plugin and reupload the plugins for the Download Manager and the file cart add on and directory add on. This seems to have fixed the directory shortcode but now the email option through the file cart add-on isn’t working. We noticed under the settings, the email download link was no longer checked. By checking that box the email field appeared but now upon testing, the files don’t get sent to the email address you type in. We did get an email with the files sent to our admin email instead. This needs to be corrected ASAP. Do you have an update on this issue?

Hi,
Please see the doc here, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/. here all describe in detail about templates. also, there is a doc for link templates, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/link-template/. please let me know. if those help you.
Thanks.
I just paid for pro to get the expanded/custom link templates, in WP I see that my downloads now has orders etc. but I don’t know how to get it to recognize pro for templates. I tried adding in License Manager but it won’t take.
The login details are in the other thread Nayeem, the one about the category template etc.
Category / Archive page – no page title
PLEASE don’t alter anything on the categories, I’ve got it set up as I need to now. If you login, you’ll see that when you go to choose a custom link template for a category the card horizontal and card vertical options aren’t there any more. They’re both in my theme directory as well as in the download manager template directories. So not sure why they’re not showing. I’ve solved it by cloning a link template, and have set all my categories link templates to my cloned template. That is working, but as I said I am worried that if another upgrade comes along all my categories are going to be reset to the default link template. Changing them all manually again is no fun.

Enable archive page from from settings, that will add “Downloads” archive link with your breadcrumb.
I did do it indeed, one step ahead ! 🙂 Thanks for all your help with this Shahjada .. somehow in all of this the breadcrumbs (am using plugins for permalinks and yoast) have lost their download part ie they say home > scripts > script category > script name.. and am missing the home > downloads > scripts > script category > script name.. I mentioned this in another post. Was almost there with a full solution..
Breadcrumb Yoast not showing base download link.
Yes, if you do not use the [file_list]
template tag, the zipped file should work. but if you use then, there you will see the individual download link.
for #2, please give your related package, if possible, Please, give your temporary wp-admin login details in a private reply for checking the issue.
Thanks.
Hello,
The problem link https://www.fabsoft.com/?wpdmdl=5988&masterkey=5f08a49d94c78. It will randomly fail on the same computer, when it fails it will get up to a good percentage before failing. The file size is 679 megs.
I am trying to get an inline link. I want to be able to add a link to a package within a sentence.
Is there any way to remove the wrapper div on line 543 in
/download-manager/libs/class.Shortcodes.php
function package($params)
{
extract($params);
if (!isset($id)) return '';
$id = (int)$id;
if (get_post_type($id) != 'wpdmpro') return '';
$postlink = site_url('/');
if (isset($pagetemplate) && $pagetemplate == 1) {
$template = get_post_meta($id, '__wpdm_page_template', true);
$wpdm_package['page_template'] = stripcslashes($template);
$data = \WPDM\Package::fetchTemplate($template, $id, 'page');
$siteurl = site_url('/');
return "<div class='w3eden'>{$data}</div>";
}
$template = isset($params['template']) ? $params['template'] : get_post_meta($id, '__wpdm_template', true);
if ($template == '') $template = 'link-template-calltoaction3.php';
$html = "<div class='w3eden'>" . \WPDM\Package::fetchTemplate($template, $id, 'link') . "</div>";
//wp_reset_query();
//wp_reset_postdata();
return $html;
}

I was asked to create a new post for my issue so here this is:
I have the paid addon for download email link working for months and now after an update it will no longer activate.
I press the activate plugin and it says ‘success’ but when i reload page the plugin reverts to ‘update addon’. The options are not available and it will not activate.

Which lock option you are facing the problem? I have made an email lock package, https://www.usound.com/download/wpdm-test/, and it is working fine from my side.

you can also adjust this Private Download Link Expiration Period time settings as your requirements

please check
Thanks.
I have also been getting invalid links as an issue when people are attempting to down download files. The Download email plugin we bought is now not installing after I updated the plugin. It says successfully installed but keeps asking for it to be installed??

Hi,
Yes that is right, on all category pages I’d like the page title and description field from the download categories.
In the past I have created invididual pages for each of the categories, and used the shortcode which shows title description and links. But because I use breadcrumb it links to WPDM categories only and no title or description.
After looking into it more, I can clone link templates, but that controls the look of links only. I can clone a page template, but there doesn’t seem to be one for default categories, just individual page templates for controlling the look of the individual download page. The variables all relate to the download itself, and can’t see a way of creating a template that shows the page title and a description.
So no further forward.
Do you want the same required message [file_list]
as well as the main download link button? please let me know
Thanks.

I have now found that this text does display correctly in the “Main” download link, but not in the [file_list] or [file_list_extended] template parts, which is all I am using on my site… Please help me to resolve this.
