Shahriar, just checking in. Is there any way around the initial download button on the Guest Orders page leading to an expired link page? Again, when you add the email address and order ID and press “proceed” it works correctly – it’s just the default experience that produces the error. I am getting ready to do a big promotion of a new line of service and was hoping for some ecommerce activity this week but I fear the user experience won’t be the best.
I tried changing the orders page to something different in settings, thinking that I would lead to a straight confirmation page with no links or inputs following the credit card being processed. That page could just say, look for your link in the email. Then the link in the email could lead to Guest Orders, but that didn’t produce a different result. I’ve tried forcing /orders/ page not to cache, and also adding a “?nocache=1” to the end of the download link that produces the expired link error, but that doesn’t work either.
At this point, I’m hopeful that you have a quick fix that can either:
– remove the download “dashboard” from the guest orders page, only leaving the email address and order ID inputs. Once you press “proceed” on that screen, the download dashboard below it would be revealed (or the page would refresh), and the link would be valid/active.
– instruct me on how to change the order confirmation process so that I lead to a static page following credit card processing and a valid link is sent via email to the purchaser leading to the Guest Orders page with active/live links.
Cheers, I appreciate any status you’re able to provide. The ftp and front-end credentials sent in private message above are still active.

Hi ! I have the same problem in my site: https://tinku.nacion-seguros.com.ar/normativas-directory/
–> WordPress Download Manager ALL ADD-ONS PACK <–
My shortcode:
[wpdm-archive button_style=”default” link_template=”link-template-panel.php” items_per_page=”20″ category=”94″ order_by=”field-name” order=”asc or desc” login=1 showcount=0 cat_view:”sidebar”]

Please use following CSS to change button hover style,
.w3eden a.btn:hover, .w3eden a.btn:hover {
border: 1px solid #ef3d24 !important;
color: #ef3d24 !important;
border-radius: 0px;
background: transparent;
box-shadow: none;
}
Use custom link/page template to add icon. Replace the [download_link] with the following code,
<a href="[download_url]" class="btn btn-primary"><i class="fas fa-download"></i>[link_label]</a>
You have to use a custom link/page template to open the file in a new tab. Clone the current template and replace the [download_link] with the following code,
<a href="[download_url]" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary">[link_label]</a>

I admit I may not have been clear with the first part of my question.
You are correct “page_link” does make the title a link, but I don’t want a link to the download page. I want a link to the file itself.
The second part of the question you did not address at all.
To summarize my initial question.
I want the title to be a link that opens the actual file in a new tab.

Hi Ed, You can try the following….
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="20" categories="cat slugs,cat slugs,cat slugs" jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="ASC" cols="page_link,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Update Date|Download::155px"]
Let me know if you need further help!
Yes, you can show the publish date. Please check the shortcode documentation here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_all_packages-list-all-downloads-in-tabular-format-in-a-page/
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="10" jstable=0 cols="page_link,file_count,download_count|categories|publish_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Publish Date|Download::155px"]
It is recommended to use the pagination for performance reason. Showing all files will reduce performance.
Not possible yet to open the PDF in a popup. But you can use a custom link template to open the details page is a new tab. Clone your current link template and replace [download_link] with the following code,
<a href="[download_url]" class="btn btn-success" target="_blank">[link_label]</a>
I tried to delete all js files used in my theme and not to include them in functions.php, but I can’t receive e-mail with download link.
I’m so sorry but could you tell me the reason why it can’t work?
Download Manager is using get_permalink function to retrieve the login page URL. Maybe there a filter available in Polylang to get login URL based on the current language. Please ask the Polylang team about that.

In some packages, you have attached URLs that’s why zip download won’t work there. The zipped download works only when all attached files are stored actual files on your server.
For example, there is an URL at the bottom of attached files list https://cad.welsrc.net/download-cad/road-emmaus-bible-study/
In this case, you can use the single file download links instead of the main download button.
Downloads > settings >Frontend Access also has the following ‘Category Page Options’
Use Basic Style
OR
Use Link Template
——
Again nothing seems to change at the front end no matter what I select here, even using my ‘<div>just contains text to see what happens</div>’ template 🙂
I can understand your issue. And be sure that it is possible with the Pro version.
The demo page is done with Pro version. See the link

And I am sorry for being late.

1 ) Free Download Button takes the label from “Link Label” option of package settings. As a premium package doesn’t have another download button ( Main download button is “add to cart” button ) unless you are using Membership add-on. In case of membership, both button shows the same label when the user has access to the package from a subscription.
The solution is using [free_download_url] template tag in your custom link/page template instead of [free_download_btn]. When using [free_download_url] you can define the button label from your shortcode.
<a href="[free_download_url]" class="btn btn-lg btn-info btn-block">Download Free File</a>
2 ) It is not possible to hide the free download button for subscribers. You need a custom template tag for that. Use wdm_before_fetch_template hook to create a custom template tag https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/filter-reference/wdm_before_fetch_template/
3 ) Individual download for free files: Not possible yet but noted for implementation.
Hi WPDM,
Two issues with the button “You Are Not Allowed to Download”, relating to [free_download_btn]
1 – I want to change it to say something else but not get overwritten when you issue an update. How do I do that?
2 – It is allowing downloads all the time to anybody. Page link below is an example (if you are logged out the button will display “Download All Files” and still let you download the free files from the package). if you are logged in and you don’t have the correct subscription to download the free files it will say “You Are Not Allowed to Download”, and still let you download them.
I will add the link in private reply.
How to fix this?

Shahriar,
You need to add the information about how to add the free button to your documentation! I’ve spent three hours trying to find this out and now I found this forum post by using Google search. It is very difficult to search for anything containing the search terms ‘free files download’ this phrase is all over the Internet!
I have some queries about this now please:
1 – I added the button but it displays the same Link Label as the main package. I need it to have a different Link Label, such as “Download Free Files”, so that members can tell the difference between the download buttons. My main button Link label is Download All Files (because I also have enabled individual files to be downloaded, so I want the main button to say something extra, other than ‘Download’.
2 – Second, On my site I need a free download and a paid members download. However, I dont want the paid member levels to see the free download button (because the free downloads are already available in their paid packages). How could I do that please?
PS your site is looking better every day.
Many thanks,
DesignServe
Why?
if i set a PWD to a Post, it works fine with WP. But it don’t work on Downloads. Why do you mean, it has nothing to do with your plugin?
…or is it a Function, that only works with the PRO Version?
I would like to buy it, but this is essential for me, because the Downloads Description should not accessable with a link to that page!
If the package is publicly accessible then the download link should work without the master key. When using the link you can just remove that part.
The exact view isn’t available yet. But noted for implementation. Current sidebar view is kind of similar https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-default/ You can change the link template.
1 ) Enable only hide download link option from the Basic settings page. But you must have to uncheck the category permission otherwise users will be able to download packages as they are getting the required permission from category settings.
2 ) Send login info in private reply. I will customize the code to hide categories. Also, send me the page link where you placed the shortcode.
