Hi! Thanks, it works in manual mode now, but the default behaviour from short code still does not work;
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="20" categories="stable" jstable=1 cols="page_link,file_count,package_size|version|categories|update_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Version|Categories|Update Date|Download::155px" order_by="update_date"]
It does som random (?) sorting – what is wrong with my shortcode?
I want to default update_date as the order (descending).
Hi Nayeem, thanks for your response..
Unfortunately, this will query all downloads, where all I would like to have is a page showing the categories to allow users to click and see the downloads for those categories. I could probably build a page and add images and have them linked to the categories, but wondered if there was a shortchode just to list the category names (preferably with the thumbnail for that category).
I see what you’re suggesting, which would give a kind of tabbed approach but it will query all the downloads which will slow things down for a root page.
Hi Greg Harte,
We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. Thank you for your patience. [wpdm_all_packages] doesn’t have the options to change download link from the shortcode as there are different kinds of packages.
But we’ve come with a solution to your problem – SHOWING ADD TO CART BUTTON IN [wpdm_all_packages] Responsive Table.
please follow the steps.
1. download the file (wpdm-all-downloads.php) from here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H-Prpy0CUaWP5PiDCD1H2teH6z3Kqh2u/view?usp=sharing
2. put the file into the following directory of your WordPress wp-content/themes/{YOUR ACTIVATED THEME}/download-manager/
(if the download-manager folder not available in your ACTIVATED THEME then please create it)
that’s it. you should now see theAdd To Cart button in the table rows.
Thanks.
I have investigated further and found that the custom formats are now being stored as xml files in a folder in the site, the location required did not exist on my installation, when I created the folder structure with the appropriate access rights then the custom formats could be created and saved and used.
Now all I have to do is work out what css I had before and put that into this new custom link format and set my packages to use that.
My guess is that the upgrade attempted to create this new folder location to put the existing custom formats into, failed, and carried on removing them from wherever they where stored before anyway. So they where not available for the upgraded download manager to use and all trace of them where they where before seems to have vanished to. In my case it is one custom format and a few packages, in some other customers installations this could be a lot of custom formats discarded and lot of packages reverted to using the default formats, that is a lot of work thrown away.

A little further investigation reveals that the custom format I had setup for the button to link from the sales page to the cart seems to have been removed by a recent Download Manager update , and it reverted to a default value.
How can I get the custom format back, I tried cloning an existing link template to generate a new custom format, that seemd to create and save but it does not appear in the list of link formats for the packages, they have all reverted to select a format and are using a default one.
I do not remember what the custom formatting was using is it still around in the WordPress database some where I can find it or has it been deleted by the update.
This is what I saying about your software not being stable, updates you release are breaking existing sites with no warning, people are trying to run businesses and don’t have time to be continually re-doing work they had done because you have ‘improved’ your software.
Hello
After setting up some sales funnels to go to the sales page I am using Download Manager Pro for I fortunately checked the sales page again to now find the format of the sales links which should link to the sales cart are broken, I had a custom CSS format in there and it was working and displaying properly before, if I have read some of the other isues on here correctly your latest update has broken that functionality.
I am trying to run a business here not play whack a mole with your updates breaking things that where working before I am wondering if your product will ever be stable enough to actually rely on, I want to market and sell products not mess with the website for ever that does not make me money.
It seems to me that you hack code and release it without any regression testing to see you have not broken existing functionality, that is not professional at all.
Hi,
For #1, The download/purchase label of the packages shortcode Buy by default in nature. for modifying it, it needs customizing the file.
For #2, The errors are coming maybe there some conflicts with other plugins, you can check to enable/disable them.
For #3, For download links in the email, you should use [#download_url#]
let me know.
Thanks.
Hi,
Is it possible to send the customer an email with links related to the specific package that they just bought?
The purchase confirmation email is the same for every package, I want to give private information related to the package itself.
For example: click on this link to register > takes the customer to a unique register form that links him to a specific user role.
The customer who buys pack A will get link to register as Role A…
The customer who buys pack B will get link to register as Role B…
Thanks
Hi,
I bought the mailchimp add-on yesterday, thinking it would allow me to link downloads to my mailchimp groups. But the add-on only manages lists…
In mailchimp you can subscribe your audience into lists and then divide the audience into groups. As I’ve got a few different platforms, I have one list for each platform and each list is divided into groups according to the products that are bought or the subscriber’s interests. If the audience is not divided into these groups, I can’t target my mailings as much as I need to.
Is there a solution for this, if not do you plan on fixing this?
Thanks

The problem is actual, the captcha v2 version, when I click the download link, an additional recaptcha window appears and nothing happens. This problem appeared when installing the Pro plugin on the free version of everything works. How to fix the problem on the Pro version of the plugin.

Hi,
Yes, you can use [hide_empty:download_link] this tag
like
<div class="ml-3 [hide_empty:download_link]">
[download_link]
</div>
Thanks.
Hi,
You can follow this 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 page-templates for page template or 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.
Thanks.
still the same, when I upgrade using the updates tab it uninstalls the add on and the manual download link downloads the old version not the updated one
Hi,
If there are no files in the package,
can I prevent the Download button from appearing in the link template?
PHP is prohibited in custom tags.
How can I know if there are any files in the package using JavaScript?

Hi,
download_link=1 parameter is working fine from my side. if possible, Please, give your temporary wp-admin login details in a private reply for checking.
Thanks.
I first tried to update my version of Download Manager pro from the WP dashboard but got an error. When I go to that page you linked to in your response above and click on the download button to re-download the Download Manager Pro, I get a message that says “Your email address has been blocked”. I very urgently need to re-install the latest version of the pro plugin. Could you please help with that?
Hello again,
I have a hard wrapping my head around all the possibilities offered by WPDM…
I have more question (sorry) !
If I understand everything correctly : templates are meant to be used to display packages (package page + packet link). Is that right?
However, if I use packages to upload my images I’ll end up with 3000 packages. That seems a bit counter productive to me…
Ideally I would upload my image with the help of the asset manager in a secure folder, like “download manager files” (tell me if that’s not a good idea).
I end up with 2 possibilities: https://snipboard.io/DtKLVj.jpg
1. I can copy the shortcode. But then I have to change the default template so that it displays the image itself. But my theme only allows me to input links for galleries…
2. I can generate a link, this gives me the option of setting the authorized user roles (the shortcode doesn’t give me that option). Great ! But when I copy and paste the link in my gallery, I don’t see the image. I see what the default link template allows me to show.
I figure I have to change that template (the way you detailed above). But I would ask the template to display the featured image…And is there one in this case?
I figure this leaves me with one last option : I upload the image through the media library, secure it thanks to WPDM, delete the thumbnails so they can’t be accessed. This way I don’t have any trouble displaying it in galleries and featured images, where and how I need.
Is there a reason why I shouldn’t do that?
Also I’m wondering: is WPDM compatible with plugins that allow me to add folders to the media library? That would make things less cluttered.
Hi,
For #1, you can apply for role-based protection as brother Shahjada clarified.
#2, For image (in galleries, lightboxes, etc.), you can follow, this template hierarchy doc, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/template-tags/, here, you will find tag name for images [thumb_gallery_WxH] also for featured image preview [preview] tag. you can use them. you can do it from Downloads > Templates > link-templates/page-templates, you can clone them or create a new one. and thus you can edit them or use in your own package settings > page-templates/link-templates.
Furthermore, for this doc, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/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 page-templates for page template or link-templates for link template. and edit them as your own requirements.
#3, you can do it by Set Downloads > Settings > Basic > File Download > Mask Download Link
#4, you can protect them from role-based protection too.
#5, For that you can use it in your page template the [preview] tag
#6, You can remove the download link tag from your own custom template and apply for the role-based protection.
Thus, I think you can solve your problem.
Thanks.
Sorry, I’m getting confused with this plugin. There is so much to understand.
I have the feeling things aren’t as simple as I thought.
Here’s a summary of what I know :
-I have images that I want protected : they can be seen by authorized user roles.
-These images have to be displayed on a page like any regular image (in galleries, lightboxes, etc.) No need to make a downloadable package. –
-I don’t want people to be able to access them through direct link ; I don’t want Google to be able to see them either.
-I can’t upload them to my media library because that triggers the thumbnails generation and it seems there’s nothing I can do to stop it. I can protect the master image, but not the thumbnails.
-I want to use them as featured images, but it seems that’s impossible if they are not in the media library (or is there another way?)
*edit* I found a plugin that allows me to enter a URL for featured img BUT the URL generated by WPDM doesn’t display an image…
If I upload the image in a secure WPDM folder, the link I generate (with user restriction) doesn’t work in galleries : I don’t see the image, I see the download link…
I’m lost…
Thank you for the help!
Thank you for this! I was trying to create a private gallery displaying the images uploaded in the package to see if that was a possible solution…
I’m still looking for a way to display my images instead of a download button, but I think the answer might be in the templates. I’m trying to figure out how to make one that suits my needs.
I’ll keep searching, but if you have any advice I’d be happy to learn more ๐
If there is a way to just copy the secure link generated by WPDM to display my images in the gallery it would be awesome !
Thank you
