Ok, now, got the problem. If you are using the free version of WPDM and using the default template, you can edit the link-template-default.php
file. you can edit it from download-manager\src\Package\views\link-templates
dir. For making backup your file you may follow this doc,
Template Files
And for related template tags, please check this doc,
Template Tags
please let me know, if you need further assistance.
Thank you and regards
Hello, I hope you can help,
None of the files I have within download-manager can be crawled.
I have nothing within the robottxt file that would block them. And all the download links are set to unmask within the settings.
Google search console is telling me that there is a no-follow attribute on the pages, but as I have mentioned earlier, there are no attributes applied within the robots file.
Many thanks
Nick
I think I found that bug as well. In all-packages-shortcode.php line 9 there are the default columns defined: page_link,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date|download_link
. Calling __::valueof()
on them with ‘safetxt’ sanitazation removed the commas, which are needed in line 14 for exploding the column values.
To fix this you’ll need to change the file:
src/__/__.php
There is says:
337 case "safetxt":
338 $value = preg_replace("/([^a-zA-Z0-9_|\-\s])/", "", $value);
339 break;
To fix it change line 338 to:
338 $value = preg_replace("/([^a-zA-Z0-9,_|\-\s])/", "", $value);
Basically you’ll need to insert a comma into the regex.
PLEASE again forward this to you developers – thank you!

I have create a file package with two MP4s and one ZIP. The MP4s I’d like to view directly in the browser and the ZIP should – naturally – be downloaded. However, the multifile-package only lets me download the files. It looks like I’d need to create 3 packages, two for the MP4s and one for the ZIP, or do you see another way around this problem? Actually I wanted one package for each product I make available for download – that’s the primary reason I bought the Pro version 😉
Thank you and best regards

Hello,
I hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.
You can send the download link by activating the email lock option in Package Settings > Lock Options > Email Lock. After submitting their email, guests can easily receive the download link for their desired package. Here is the screenshot

How can I send guests a direct download link via email instead of sending people to a download page?
I would like the download to start automatically for my customer.
My customer sends out a newsletter with download links. If someone clicks on the link, they have to log in. Unfortunately, the download does not start automatically, but the customer is redirected to the package. They then have to search there themselves to find the correct download.
domain.com/file.pdf
This is what the links look like.
If I am logged in, the download does not start either. I also end up on the package page.
Is there a solution for this?
Thank you very much!
Exactly what I needed. TY!
For anyone who may need it in the future, the final template looks like this:
<div class="media">
<a class="pull-left" href="[download_url]">
[icon]
</a>
<div class="media-body">
<h3 class="media-heading m-0 p-0"><a href="[download_url]">[title]</a></h3>
<div class="text-muted text-small"><i class="fas fa-copy"></i> [file_count] [txt=file(s)] <i class="fas fa-hdd ml-3"></i> [file_size]</div>
</div>
<div class="ml-3">
[download_link]
</div>
</div>
I am trying to customize a clone of the following link template:
————————————–
<div class="media">
<a class="pull-left" href="[page_url]">
[icon]
</a>
<div class="media-body">
<h3 class="media-heading m-0 p-0">[page_link]</h3>
<div class="text-muted text-small"><i class="fas fa-copy"></i> [file_count] [txt=file(s)] <i class="fas fa-hdd ml-3"></i> [file_size]</div>
</div>
<div class="ml-3">
[download_link]
</div>
</div>
————————————-
I need <a class="pull-left" href="[page_url]">
and <h3 class="media-heading m-0 p-0">[page_link]</h3>
to have the same functionality as [download_link]
I’ve tried to replace [page_url]
and [page_link]
, but can’t seem to get it right. Any help is appreciated.

Hello,
We have thoroughly tested the issue in our environment, and everything is functioning as expected. It appears that the issue might be related to the server. In this case, you might consider linking the media URL to a downloadable file or using cloud storage to host the file.

Yes, I have chosen that section, the only thing is that I do not want to approve each download, but rather make it automatic, so I have selected the option below that you indicate.
The only thing I want is for the email with the link that reaches the client to be a personalized email… How can I modify that email template? I can’t find her.
Hello,
I just downloaded the mailchimp extension so that my users are automatically saved in my DB, my question is that I want there to be a record in the mailchimp registry of when the user has accepted that I send them commercial emails… How can I do this?

Kindly share the package download link
Hello and thank you for your answer :
– It would be nice if one day, the “send again” option could be available.
– Form lock is not in the list of “skip lock for loggedin user. Client still has to fill in the form even if he just did it for another document. I would like that he receives the download link of the other document by email without the need to fill the form again with his email.
Thank you !

Hello,
I have downloads enabled on my website after the user writes their email, that is, they enter their email, click on the download button and the file is downloaded.
I would like, as you have provided me with your email, to be able to send you an automatic email so that I can send you the link to a Google Form survey. How can I do it?
Thank you!
