Hello,
unfortunatly, as I mentioned, I’m working in local environment, so I can’t provide login to the website now.
I’ve overwritten one page template and its working… but page template is only overwritten if I put the file in /download-manager/ directory and not in /download-manager/page-templates/.
There is only link templates that don’t work. I tried to for link-templates but its not working…
Resume :
wp-content/themes/mychildtheme/download-manager/link-templates/link-template-default-ext.php NOT WORKING
wp-content/themes/mychildtheme/download-manager/link-template-default-ext.php NOT WORKING
wp-content/themes/mychildtheme/download-manager/shortcodes/category.php WORKING
wp-content/themes/mychildtheme/download-manager/page-templates/page-template-default.php NOT WORKING
wp-content/themes/mychildtheme/download-manager/page-template-default.php WORKING
Shortcodes I’m using to display links :
[wpdm_category id="mycategory" toolbar="0" paging="1" order="desc" item_per_page="10" template="link-template-default-ext" cols=4 colspad=2 colsphone=1]
[wpdm_package id='16001' template="link-template-default-ext"]
I tried to reinstall plugin without success. Same issue…
Hi,
[wpdm_category id="평가자료형태,start-camp" operator="AND" toolbar="0" order_by="date" order="desc" items_per_page="90" template="Seoil-PR-Template" cols=3 colspad=2 colsphone=1]
This shortcode works fine in 5.0.95.
However, it does not work from later versions.
I thought this problem was due to Korean language, but I found out that this problem was not due to Korean language.
After version 5.0.95…
I noticed that the’AND’ operator doesn’t work for the parent category and the child category.
The’AND’ operator only works on child category and child category.
Can you solve this problem?
I have installed version 5.0.95 of WPDM on WordPress to find out this issue.

There is no example of how to fulfill the conditions in the link you said.
Please explain in more detail.
Hi, I have successfully installed the WPDM Pro to my new website. But the new updated WPDM Pro does not support the Form lock add on.
Please help, We need the form lock for our downloads.

Here’s the link to my page:
The distiction seems to be in the FileSystem.php class as below. The Content-disposition parameter determines whether it displays or downloads the file (inline or attachment):
if (get_option(‘__wpdm_open_in_browser’, 0) || wpdm_query_var(‘open’) == 1)
header(“Content-disposition: inline;filename=\”{$filename}\””);
else
header(“Content-disposition: attachment;filename=\”{$filename}\””);
In any case, I’ve managed to get it to work after gaining some familiarity with the plugin. Apparently, if I link to a PDF in the WP Media Library, it displays the file. But if I attach the PDF using the Download Manager sidebar, it opens the Windows File Save dialog box, which is exactly what I want.
Is there any way to suppress the filename link from opening that metadata page that displays the download, filesize, filecount, etc?
That link is actually where I would prefer to have it open in brower. I’ve searched around, but I’m not sure which class calls. The link sends this: /?wpdmpro=manuals.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for posting this answer, which is what I am looking for. I have one additional question. After the recommended change is made to the link template, does Download Manager still record the number of times the file has been downloaded (in History)?
Thanks.
As for the email, I (the admin) got an email saying “someone sent you a download link” so it appears the email portion of file cart is sending to the admin email instead of the email address entered.
The Form lock is not working, use the one we setup for testing, here is the link: https://www.nra.co.za/download/jorren-test/

Yes, possible. please select from your category edit option Use Link Template as I image attached,

then from plugins\download-manager\tpls\taxonomy-wpdmcategory.php file please put this code,
$cpage['order_by'] = 'download_count'; between or within this code,
$cpage['async'] = 1;
$cpage['paging'] = 1;
$cpage['order_by'] = 'download_count';
and for keeping back up the file, please follow this doc, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/
Thanks.

This is critical to us – wr can’t use your product without this in many cases. Here is the link to the previous ticket where the solution was provided. I just need to know how to do the same thing with the new code in the latest version.
Open archive page with a specific category preselected
Hello,
i have solved the error 🙂
But the self made link templates are not available when i want to insert a package in page editor via icon and the following window.
Only the predifenied link templates are shown in the list
Whats wrong please ?
Also i want to ask if its possible to set up “Calltoakction4” link template ( as you can see here https://www.presswerk.de/spezifikationen-cd/ ) with “excpert_120” in the white box below “MB” and “Downloadcount”
Can you send me the correct code please ?? Or set it up for me ???
Thank you very much and best regards

Updated to latest version today, broke the layout I had as my default page template. Tags went way across the screen and the download link wasn’t clickable any more.
Wouldn’t update from the plugins list, so had to deactivate, remove old version then use FTP to get it across. That’s when the layouts broke. Strangely only on certain downloads not others.
Restored back to previous version from backup.

Hello,
My downloads have stopped downloading on my site. I have tried disabling plugins to see if that helped but nothing worked.
when you click the link to download – nothing happens
https://www.thermosphere.com/download/hygiene-portal-plus-datasheet/#unlock
is it something to do with the #unlock in the url?
Having issues with showing information such as customer address/telephone etc on the front end.
Errors show as ‘undefined’
I can see this issue also exists in my actual account area for Download manager too as per the screenshots below linked.
The data saves in the database but doesn’t display in those front end fields. Tried both front end and in the edit user area of admin too, neither works.


Thanks
