Please send me the package link or download link where you got the “Download link expired” message. I tried several downloads but couldn’t re-create the issue.
Hi,
Thanks for your kind words. It truly means a lot to us.
Yes, it is possible to create a folder like structure using File Hosting and Sharing add-on https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/file-hosting-sharing-add-on/ You will find the demo link in the page.
The folders in this add-on represent category and files represents packages. Each user has a main category and all other folders/categories are created as its child. Users can share packages with others using multiple sharing options.
If you want something different please let me know. It is also possible to replicate the actual directory structure of the server files. Try attaching a directory to the package and use the page template “Single Column, Image Top, Extended”.
And finally, if you want some kind of custom solution, our customization team ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/custom-upgrade-service/ ) can develop it for you.
Best regards.
Hello –
I really like this plugin and your support has been super helpful!
Please see my link here: https://www.mercltg.com/resources/#toggle-id-8
Is there a way to force a direct download on certain file types (in this instance, the files that end in .IES).
Right now, with the help of support…I have PDFs launching in a new browser window (which is exactly what we want).
But when it comes to .IES files – we were hoping to have these direct download rather than appearing in a new browser.
Thank you in advance!

Yes, it is possible. Just have to add some CSS classes, I forgot to add the button classes there. Here is the updated code,
<a class="wpdm-download-link btn btn-primary btn-sm" href="[download_url]" target=_blank>[link_label]</a>
The button text comes from the Link Label option in package settings. Or you can just replace [link_label] in the code with any text you want.
Hello,
I am using WP Form Lock with Gravity Form. When the gravity form is submitted a “download” link appears but when you click on it nothing happens, no download.
It depends on your Knowledge Base’s search feature. It is searching the Knowledge Base content before the shortcode being rendered. Even though your download contains the keyword “EPAL” the Download Manager shortcode doesn’t have this keyword. So, the Knowledge Base search can’t find a match.
You can place all your downloads somewhere else. Use the archive page add-on ( directory add-on ) shortcode which will provide easy sear and filter options. Then add the link to related doc in pacakge content.

Thank you for the response!
RE: When using the main download button.
I applied this code to the custom link template and it works great. Is there a way to still have the styled “DOWNLOAD” button with this code, versus just using the words “Download”?
Thank you in advance!
Please send me the CSV file download link. I want to test it on my setup. You can upload it to dropbox or somewhere else and then share a download link.
Hi,
Looks like you have switched to download option instead of opening the file in the browser.
When using the main download button:
To open file in new tab replace [download_link] with <a href="[download_url]" target=_blank>[link_label]</a> in your custom page/link template.
If you want to use single file download buttons ( you are using this now ):
Add the following code to your active theme’s functions.php file to open single file download links in a new tab. We have added target='_blank' in single file download button using wpdm_single_file_download_link filter.
Filter documentation: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/filter-reference/wpdm_single_file_download_link/
Thanks

I recently started using the Tagdiv Newspaper template.
I have a default template for WP Download Manager, but if I use it, the fields are shown twice, see the link below. How can I solve this? I actually want to make a template myself via TAGDiv composer.

Hi,
I can’t find where to customise the email people who request to download my document receive to download it.
It uses some generic description of my app either from Google metadata or even maybe from the App store…
Thank you for your help
PS initially it will come up with a long series of columns for whatever you are editing. Then, you can tell it to search your database for more columns. Then, you take some time to add and remove (hide) columns that you aren’t interested in editing. Right-click on headings and many other things to find additional features. Select a cell and drag up or down (like in excel) to fill adjacent cells with the same information.
A good example – Edit your downloads (posts). Then search for specific ones you want to edit by name or template type (or anything). You can then change the price, template, link template or whatever you want to edit individually. Or, edit one cell (a link template for example) and drag to apply that link template to many items (hundreds if you like).
When you save, it saves a few at a time. It doesn’t overload your server.
Check your edited downloads afterwards. Occasionally it misses saving one or two. Usually, there’s a reason for that such as a secure PDF or some anomaly.

The simple search shortcode is [wpdm_simple_search template="link-template-panel" cols=3 ] This shortcode requires WPDM Directory add-on, however, the Special Pack has it included.
Hi,
Please give me your link and temporary wp-admin login info in a private reply to check. It is probably a cache issue, may need to exclude the download links from cache if you are using a cache plugin.
When I try to download it from this link you provided, it asks for me to pay for it, even though I am logged in under my Business license ID. Does this add-on require an additional payment?
Most probably the issue related to Email Template. I tried to change the template to test a plain download link but couldn’t save the templates. Provided user doesn’t have the permission to send AJAX request ( that’s the response I saw on console )
Please remove any restriction if you have placed on temp user. Or try using just
<a href="[#download_url#]">[#download_url#]</a> insted of custom button in email template.

This code <a href="[download_url]" class="button">DOWNLOAD</a> won’t work with locked packages. You have to use [download_link] tag instead.
I have updated your custom link and page template to fix this. Now downloads are working. If you want to change the button style you can do that from Downloads > Settings > User Interface Tab.
Hi,
how is the correct for echo $download_link ? $download_link : '—';?
