Hello,
You can follow this doc as per given instruction, you will be able to make a direct download link. and let me know if it fixes your issue.
[wpdm_direct_link] – Embed direct download link as a simple text link
Thanks.
We are trying to use the List Package layout for our files, but our layout is getting messed up like which you can see at : http://sgpholding.com/financial-documents/
The shortcode we used were:
[wpdm_category id="finance" operator="IN" title="Financial Documents" desc="Essential Documents for Business" toolbar="1" paging="1" order_by="field name" order="asc or desc" items_per_page="10" template="5d84e6a49e7dc" cols=3 colspad=2 colsphone=1 download_link=1]
It was running fine, until we updated the plugins, could you help resolve this issue?
Lets say I have a package named “Example Package” that has 4 files in it. Is it possible to link directly to a file. Like I have a page that file 3 in Example Package is what I would like them to be able to click on the page and download. Is that possible and how can I do it.
I’ve tried grabbing the link to the file from the package, but it just redirects to the package when I click it.

Just implemented this plugin. Unable to download a file. Error returned is “Invalid download link”.
Hello,
You can try
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="20" jstable=0 cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|publish_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Update Date|Download"]
Thanks.

I have the page template set to preview the document, but all the pages show up as “Whoops! There was a problem previewing this document.” and then give some apps to try opening the file with but none of them work either. This is on any browser I’ve tried. The download link works just fine.
http://hawakura.com/download/plaquette-getelec-03-06/ is the link.
The issue in click is:

no easy step/tutorial to implement the feature.
You answered 1 of my three questions. 🙂
Thanks for showing me how to add the pop up. The link is on a membership site that’s not released yet.
Still wondering:
#1. How do I add fields to the pop up form?
#2. With the pop up form, do they have to fill out the form for every document it’s used to lock? Or can they enter their email once and be able to download documents on any visit?
Your download limit is working fine. Try 3 different downloads, then refresh the page. Don’t click on same link multiple times, frequently or repeated click on same link in same session will be counted as one.
I mean if it works with the shortode that lists all the downloads using the “wpdm-all-downloads.php” template. I can see the line 318 in this template:
case 'audio_player':
$data['files'] = \WPDM\Package::getFiles($data['ID']);.......
......
so i guess it should work.
But i don`t know how is this template deciding which download is an audio so it can add the preview player.
Is there something i should add to all the audio downloads ?

EDIT

I tried like this:
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="20" jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="ASC/DESC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date|audio_player|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Update Date|Preview|Download::155px"]
It does show the Preview column but no audio player.
I only have audio downloads… no other format but mp3
Did i do something wrong?

No, if you select a file from the media library and attach it with a package, it will not create a copy of the file in download-manager-files dir, file just will be linked from the location where it is now. So, it will not kill your disk space.
The new update is coming with the next week.
I am also experiencing this problem. When I do quick add it does not create a package id unless I give it a title and then even when it makes a package id, when i click the link it downloads a file named download.not.available.txt that says “Sorry! Download is not available yet.”

Hello there,
Happy 2020!
I need to add a thumbnail or preview (it can be the package’s featured image) and place it here:
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="20" categories="dmk-brand-files" jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="ASC/DESC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Update Date|Download::155px"]
But I can’t find the name or the tag to do it and using the shortcode from the templates breaks the code.
Could you please tell me what is the name of the thumbnail attribute?
Thank you!
You can follow this documentation, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/ 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 the [download_link] tag with <a class="btn btn-success" href="[download_url]" target="_blank">[link_label]</a> in your page/link template.
Thanks.
Hi,
You have to use this shortcode https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/ for showing in a page or post in collection form for categories or have to use this shortcode for single package https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/. You have to specify template name link-template-audio in shortcode. And when you are creating package you have to select from page template Default Template. Thus you will get preview like as the image attached.
Thanks.
The plugin does not provide the download link or button after payment checkout confirmation.
It takes you back to pay again.
This is the same experience both PayPal payment and Stripe.
Please I need support with these challenges.

Even after purchasing logged in customer I still cannot get the download link.
Please I need help to resolve this.
Hi,
Are you referring to the “WPDM Packages by Category” widget? You can actually serve the download right from the link template using a template with the [download_link] tag. Change the link template from Widget settings.
Thanks.
