This generally happens every time after you refresh the page, 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. Then you can see in the refresh slug key is regenerating every time after refreshing the page.
I am having issues with the Direct Download Link in Chrome as well. New Download Posts are downloading text message “Sorry! Download is not available yet.” PDF Document uploaded to Media Library just find. Download Link on the Download Post doesn’t work either.
No. I can change the button easy. The text link which links to the download’s page has been changed in this update. The font size is much larger and it’s displayed as a very bright blue. I want to change the colour and size of text link please.
Hi, I’m getting an error when I try to purchase a download on my website with Authorize.Net add-on (which I paid for). Authorize.Net works well with my Events Manager on my site, so I wanted to use it with Download Manager. However, the error comes from not having a URL to put in my Authorize.Net account and they don’t know what the URL is: this is the error: (14) The referrer, relay response or receipt link URL is invalid. (The referrer is Download Manager, and the relay response must be related to a link URL that is in your code, which I need to add to my Authorize.Net account.
Please let me know if you can assist as I really do need this functionality and option for potential sales.
I have a site that i am providing flight sim downloads, I am using the following shortcode
[wpdm_category id=" max-7,max-8,max-9,max-10,737-600" operator="IN" title="File Library" desc="1" toolbar="1" order_by="field name" order="asc or desc" item_per_page="10" template="link-template-msthumnail" cols=2 colspad=2 colsphone=1]
When i click on details of the download, it just reloads the download page and never shows the details. How can i get these links to properly show the download details etc. If i use the downloads by category widget i can click on a category and it will filter down the just those and let me open each individually. I would like to have this same behavior with the above shortcode. Is that possible?
we are building a site using Uncode and your Download Manager -plugin. Seems that activating the plugin breaks our sites menu: when clicking a menu item with submenu items, the whole menu breaks and the link doesnt work. Deactivating the plugin fixes the issue. Can you check out the possible incompatibility issue? I can send the login information via email so you can access the dashboard.
Hi, I have waited since autumn to update WPDM, since I read about bootstrap 4 problems. I thought they were solved now. But after update my links suddenly changes look to big bright blue! Can you help me how to fix that, maybe I missed some changes I need to do to make bootstrap 4 work?
But when I look thru preview of all different LINK TEMPLATES I see that most of them have this bright blue link appearance after update. BUT, a few of them look like they should do! “Dafault template with icon” is bright blue. But “Default template with download count” looks like before, smaller and grey, as I want it to do. (So I had to change all default to that link template, event thou I do not want to show “Download count”).
Can you tell me how to fix “Deafult template with icon” so the link text looks like before and not big and bright blue?
No, [wpdm_tree] generates a tree view of all categories and packages, if you want to use it for a specific category, then: [wpdm_tree category="category-slug"], for direct download link use additional parameter download_link=1. You can also use the Select From Media Library Feature for uploading your files.
We recently updated our version and NOW get the “Details Page” when a download link is clicked. Any way we can make a simple change and have it like before where when the button is clicked the download occurs. We really don’t need or want the Details page to show, or for that matter any Details of the download.
We have loved Download Manager for its simplicity. We are not programmers so hopefully this fix is simple.
It’s been some time, but now I’d really like post slugs to be domain.com/category/download title rather than domain.com/download/download title. I’d also like to show this hierarchy with breadcrumbs but I don’t know which plugin would be best for that.
I use the generatepress theme which I can use hooks or shortcodes to display the breadcrumb.
Is it possible? I can’t seem to find a setting to show categories, and if the permalink has to be recreated, I’ll have to work a way to redirect (probably .htaccess) the old ones to the new.
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]
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.
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.
