Hi,
You can use,
[wpdm_tree] shortcode in this case.
Short-code for generating tree view of the specific category:
[wpdm_tree category="category-slug"]
And if you want to use direct download link, use:
[wpdm_tree download_link=1]
and for this, you have to use this add on, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-extended-short-codes/
Thanks.
Hello,
If you are using the free version, you need to follow this doc, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/ or if you are using the pro version, you can create a new link template from your own and customize it.
Thanks.
Hello,
You can follow this doc as per given instruction, you will be able to make a direct download link. and you will also be able to add CSS classes for designing your button.
[wpdm_direct_link] – Embed direct download link as a simple text link
Thanks.
When I click that link it just redirects me to the package that the file is attached to instead of just downloading the file.
Is there an option or setting I need to adjust?
@webrealisation, if you use form lock ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-form-lock/ ) with wpdm pro, you can handle it without password, You can link a form with a package, users will receive a download link only after they fill the form.
The popup modal is using /download-manager/tpls/link-templates/link-template-button-popup.php template. To customize this template, make a copy and place it in /active-theme/download-manager/link-templates/link-template-button-popup.php location. Then add your customization in this new template.
Now, this new template will override the default one. and your customizations won’t be lost during the plugin update.
Thanks.
Hello,
Unfortunately we are again having this same problem. The plugin says there is an update in WordPress and the update can’t download via the WordPress plugins screen. I have gone to Downloads>Settings>Updates and there is nothing listed. Please send us a link for the latest version. Thank you
We have version 5.0.4 and it says there is a newer version of 5.0.5.
Sincerely,

Hi Nayeem, here is the Short-code
[wpdm_package id='1203']
I would like to have the “pdf icon” + the text “Download-pdf” shown within the button – green with white text and on hover Orange with white text and only within the button and center aligned. I do not want the heading or to display anything else, Just the Button as described and linked to each document?
A screen shot would have still been useful and saved a lot of wasted time!
Can you assist me so that I can apply this to every document within Download Manager and apply the short-codes generated for each document within a short-code widget in Elementor?
Kind regards
Gavin
Hi,
You can create a link template with this code <a href="[download_url]">[icon]</a>. And after applying your package, You can use form lock add on for locking your package with any form, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-form-lock/.
Thanks.
Hi,
As a link template, I’d like to have just a simple icon with no message beside it (e.g., “Please login to download”), and I’d like that link to send the person to the login and register form when the person is not logged in and to start the download when he is. Is that possible and, is so, how?
Bernard
If you want to show your download package in post or page you have to use shortcode. otherwise the package link.
Hello,
I have tested form lock with CF7 with required fields, after getting download link resubmitting again not showing required fields error. My link is here http://www.nayeemriddhi.info/portfolio2/download/cf7-package/. It needs to see from your wp-admin panel.

I couldn’t use the link above but downloaded it from the site and was able to upload again once I had deleted the previous version. Thanks.
Hi Nayeem, Sorry but this does not help me in anyway I understand.
I want my button to reflect the pdf image and have the text – “Download – pdf” and be linked back to the document within the download manager.
Please send me a contact mail so that I may send you a screen shot and details.
Kind regards
Gavin
Thanks for your comment Richard. The prev/next option generally comes from theme. So, it is a user choice. I have just created single-wpdmpro.php file in your theme and removed the pagination link. If you want to add it, you just have to add it again in this file.
and if you like our service, don’t forget to review us here, https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/download-manager/reviews/
Thanks.
Is that something worth thinking for a future release as an option? Prev/Next Download link “On or off?”
Cheers,
Richard
Hello,
You can change
“pdf Logo + “Download”
in the Link label from your package settings.
I did think that, but they only appear on the pages with the download manager links -ie there are pages & blog posts in another section, and they don’t have them…
I figured it was part of the actual download manager theme design…
Cheers,
Richard
Hi,
Link and Page templates are stored in database wp_optionstable as _fm_link_templates and _fm_page_templates.
You can create template files for your custom link/page templates. You have to put the files in /active-theme/download-manager/tpls/page-templates/ and /active-theme/download-manager/tpls/link-templates/ directory. The file name will be the same as the template id, i.e. 5aafb49c1b7c2.php. and also check any existing template file from /download-manager/tpls/link-templates/ directory for naming convention.
Thanks.
I already checked. In fact, I have written “the sample.csv does not include Tags”. The link you posted does not talk about tags.
Another problems:
– description includes commas inside, so the csv does not upload properly
– link template is a custom template, I don’t see it in the wp-content/plugins/download-manager/tpls/link-templates directory in order to set it
– also page template is a custom template, I don’t see it in the directory
Can you suggest the solution in order to process correctly the csv?
Show ‘Add To Cart’ button as customer download link fallback stands for [customer_download_link] template tag. It will show the download button, otherwise will show add to cart button if you check the option,
Hi Nayeem
Thanks for that. I think the CSS was added on previous ticket to the WPDM team. So one of the pages now seems fine, but I was just trying to figure out why…
madetomeasurekpis.com/download/kpi-checklists-book-downloads-page/
…still has an ‘invisible’ zip download button at the bottom of the page – it uses the same link and page template as…
madetomeasurekpis.com/download/kpi-checklists-audiobook-downloads
…the page that now works
Any ideas would be appreciated. I think I have cleared the cache on the problem page.
Also, but not essential, I originally had the zip download as a big green button – any advice on how to recreate this?
Also, if you want to remove ZIP download ( full package downlaod ) button, you simply need to remove [download_link] tag from the page template.
