The plugin code is showing wrapped around a non-functional Download button.
Here is a screenshot of the code that shows after a successful form submittal:

If the user refreshes the page, the code works. Perhaps an auto-refresh on form submit would be a possible fix?
Below is the code in question which appears several times in the wpdm-form-lock.php file.
<hr style=’margin: 0 0 10px 0’/><i class=’fa fa-downlaod’></i> ” . $link_label . “”
Notice there is also a typo in your code ‘fa-downlaod’ that you will want to correct.
Hello Ben Walker,
Hope you are well. Thanks for writing to us. If you check documentation here, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-directory-add-on/, you will find shortcode has template
parameter,
[wpdm_archive_filter items_per_page="12" template="link-template-default" cols=1 colspad=1 colsphone=1]
You can customize the link template and use it according to your requirement. Please kindly check and let me know.
Thank you and regards
Hi,
Loving the design of the [wpdm_archive_filter items_per_page=”9″ template=”fresh_card” cols=3]
Is it possible to keep the same design and just remove the download button? so instead users have to click on the file/link to get to the download button?
Is there any way to change the default settings for this?
Generate Temporary Download Link
I want it to default to Usage Limit = 10 / Expires Days = 60
Thank you for your help.
Hello,
I’m using list all downloads in tabular format and create (published) date column not working. It display only update date. I’m using following shortcode:
[wpdm-all-packages categories="xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx," items_per_page=20 template="osnovni"cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|publish_date|download_link" colheads="Naziv dokumenta|Kategorije|Datum nastanka|Preuzimanje::155px"]
Any help?
Thanks
If anyone copy the download URL and share it with others, then it can happen otherwise, the package will require a login to access the download link. I hope you have understood. Please kindly check.
Thank you and regards

Hi,
I am currently exploring all the options of WP Download Manager to achieve my goals
First, I need to include only a download link in my CF7 form customer mail message body
Please note: the download should generate once only after successful form submission, mustn’t allow multiple downloads, and no public view of the download item.
Second, I tried testing this Enable Form Lock with a Test item, In the download page it is not working as expected just loading endlessly
Please share the solutions with step by step approach for the both at your earliest convenience
FYR website: https://ritesoftware.com
Test download item link: https://ritesoftware.com/download/test-file/
For #1, For Link template applying to all documents/packages you may check this add-on, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-default-values/
For #2, Please kindly check now, I have adjusted Allowed file types to upload
settings from Downloads > Settings
For the third query please kindly check the shortcodes from here, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/. Please kindly check and let me know.
Thank you and regards

Nayeem,
Thank you for the quick response!
I did watched the video and check all the documentation, but I still can’t fix.
Here is the problem I have:
When I first download Download Manager, I used the free version, didn’t do any configuration, then download the addon to transfer files from WP-Filebase, the file link template was set to Panel,then I go to Settings – Frontend access, set the file template to Call to action 3, and saved.
But this setting didn’t change the template on the front end, you can see only the file that I manually set to Call to Action 3 template display the right format from this page: https://www.linortek.com/downloads/documentations/

Could you please share a screenshot of the download link or what appears after clicking on it?
Hello Tom Fluegge,
Hope you are well. For changing Single File Download label, use the below code in your current, active theme’s functions.php
file in order to change text.
add_filter("single_file_download_link_label", function($label, $package){ return "New Label"; }, 10, 2);
Please kindly check and let me know.
Thank You
Greetings, this might have been requested, but I have not found an answer. I need the single file download label changed from “download” to “link” since I use some links in different packages.
Important: I do *not* mean the package download label! I bought the Default Values Add-on, but the “Link Label” only changes the package label, not the individual file labels.
Please advise how to do that.
On my end every download link is sending up with a hash sign
its not allowing me to send you message, so posting the link here, I will delete it later.

Yes exactly, the site is login-protected.
Exactly, a newsletter is sent out, and in it are the links to the pages.
People who are logged in get the download immediately.
If people still have to log in, they end up in the package.
Hello, Lorena
Extremely sorry for the delay.
URL download is working fine from our end, could you please try using this link https://examplefile.com/file-download/36 and let me know if this working or not.
This is how the purchase for guest users works, kindly check the video
When a guest user makes a purchase, they can easily access the purchased file/package in two ways:
1. Download the purchased file from the guest order page.
2. An email will be sent to the guest user with a sign-up link. After signing up, the user can easily download the file.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards
Does this work with a purchase as well as a free download? I want people to make a purchase and then receive an email with a direct download link rather than dealing with the ‘guest order’ form?

Hi Nayeem,
Thanks for getting back to me. The shortcode for the page in question is:
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="20" jstable=1 order_by="title" order="ASC/DESC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Download::155px"]
I’m afraid it’s against our policy to allow anyone outside of the University access to our websites, including this page.
Regards,
Mark
