Wondering if there is a way to display any of the users profile information from fields in their profile to display in a “link template”?
I see there are many template tags to be included (https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/template-tags/) when building custom template.
My client would like two fields included in the link template:
1. The person/users name. First and Last Name
2. Their business name. Which might need to be a custom field, but I don’t see a way to see how to do this unless the custom field plugin allows to put the field information into a “link template”
Can you please let me know if adding tags or user profile information is possible when creating custom “link templates”. Or advise me on how to achieve this.
Thanks!

Hello,
I ask you to help me understand, how to integrate templates like “link-template-panel-1-3“ to my download side. How does the shortcode look like.
The same question I have how to integrate a site-template.
Thank you very much in advance

Thanks for fixing that, good to know an upgrade needs to be a delete and re-install.
I fixed the widgets, they got messed up on the way.
I noticed that the page templates are still reporting as “Pre-designed templates can’t be deleted or edited from this section. But you can clone any of them and edit as your own. If you seriously want to edit any pre-designed template you have to edit those directly edting php files at /download-manager/templates/ dir”
However this information is no longer correct. The template are stored in “/download-manager/tpls/page-templates” directory. A similar change has also been made to the link templates. Users need to manually copy those to the correct location if they have made their own (hopefully they took a copy before deleting the old version).
The old templates don’t work any more, so they will need correcting, but that all makes sense, things change.
Thanks for the prompt support and fixes/advice.
Hi Thanks for response. I have placed the shortcode for my package and set the look of the download buttons on my website, this is working fine. The problem I have is when I enable the email lock and place the url to my website under my video on the you tube, or any different external website and people click in the link, they going to my website and try to download the package, but the download button is not working, the popup window where you need to enter your email address does not show at all, even if you reload the page.
I have tried on google chrome firefox and edge browser. Here is the link ( https://bit.ly/2G12ZnG ) and here is my you tube video where I placed the link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC6Q4gEZSTY&feature=youtu.be&ytbChannel=null ). If you click the * Download Game Graphics https://bit.ly/2G12ZnG under my you tube video the website will open, but the popup to insert email address will not.
Hope my explanation is clear. Thanks for your help.
Create a custom template link template from Downloads Templates page. In the custom template place the following code,
<a target="_blank" class="btn btn-success" href="[download_url]">[title]</a>
Use this new template in your shortcode.
Hi,
There are two bulk import options available. CSV and Directory import. In the case of CSV, you have to create the CSV file with all necessary package info.
Directory import is easier. You select a dir and import all files. One package will be created for each file.
Documentation link https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/bulk-import/
Now, the question is dow you need multiple packages/posts? How many files do you have? If you want you can attach the whole directory in a package.
Thanks.
I see you are using the Box View of the file list. The icon from the package setting doesn’t have any effect on this case. It is being set dynamically based on the file type. So when adding multiple files of different types, Box View shows file icon for each file.
The icon from package settings will only be applied to [icon] template tag in your link/page template.
In your case, the solution is modifying the /download-manager/libs/class.FileList.php file. Add the following code after line 348. Replace the icon URL text with actual URL.
if( $ext == 'pcb') $fticon = 'icon-url-here';
Another option is replacing the pcb.svg with your own icon in wpdm-file-type-icons dir.
Use package shortcode to put the download link under your video. Just placing the link won’t work. In your package shortcode, you can set the link template to control the view of the shortcode result.
Your details worked, however discovered another adjustment needed to [wpdm_all_packages] . If you visit my links again I can only download IF i click the blue download button. The name of the packages are links too but dont actually download anything if I click the name of the package. Since the name of the package is a link it needs an action.
I’m building a test site for a client who is upgrading from an old version.
I’ve repliated their system but lost all the packages during the migrating (side issue – but any idea why?).
So I created a new package on the test system but when the download link is clicked on the site loads the following error…
“The site is experiencing technical difficulties.”
I’ll follow up with private post with site and login details.
Yes, you can send a file to anyone using the “Email Download Link” option in all packages admin page. The option is available under each package.
Another option is email lock. If you use email lock with email download link option the download will be mailed to the visitor’s email address.
Hello,

How can I get it going? My client gets nuts.
Hello,
When I used https://sitechecker.pro to analyze a site I run with WPDM Pro I get a critical error:
URL Vulnerability: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/,Display: None
How to Fix:
URL Vulnerability
The conscious use of hidden content that gets filled with relevant keywords is considered to be manipulation of search results by search engine providers and is therefore classified as black hat SEO.
Use Google's recommendations to eliminate the possibility of hidden content.
I then go to the scanned page’s source code and find this snippet:
<div class="w3eden">
<div id="wpdm-popup-link" class="modal fade">
<div class="modal-dialog" style="width: 750px">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<h4 class="modal-title"></h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body" id='wpdm-modal-body'>
<p class="wpdm-placeholder">
[ Placeholder content for popup link ]
<a href="https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/">WordPress Download Manager - Best Download Management Plugin</a>
</p>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</div>
</div><!-- /.modal-content -->
</div><!-- /.modal-dialog -->
</div><!-- /.modal -->
I think this is related to a WPDM popup feature that I do not use. Is there a way to disable the rendering of this code in my site? I am concerned this could have unintended SEO detriment. Thanks!
Hi Salahuddin,
Sorry I did not really like that kind of solution. It’s because on mobile view will looks weird if you use column..
Somehow I get the solution by changing some CSS.
Here’s my CSS:
/*Download Plugins*/
.w3eden .link-template-default.thumbnail {
padding: 10px;
width: 230px;
}
.w3eden .link-template-default.thumbnail .wpdm-download-link.btn {
padding: 0 10px !important;
line-height: 30px !important;
font-size: 7pt;
}
.w3eden .media-body {
width: 90px;
}
.w3eden .wpdm_icon {
box-shadow: none;
min-width: 39px;
}
/*END Download Plugins*/
Just that I use this CSS just for mobile view. But desktop view also follows the CSS.. If possible can you make the view 100% just for desktop view?
Thank you.
How can I change the color of the button [download_link]? And also the color of the font?
The standard button is blue and the font is white. But I need this button in yellow #fdc533 and the font in black #1d1d1b.
Thank you!
Hi Henri,
If you want the user to agree with terms before download then send the package details page link instead of the direct download link.
Thanks.
On that link, you are trying to download a package with id 11441 but I found no package with this id. Update the link with a correct package id to fix the error. Also, update you WPDM to current version 4.9.8
Hello,
In WP Plugins, I have the following messages displayed for Download Manager:
There is a new version of Download Manager available. View version 4.9.8 details. Automatic update is unavailable for this plugin.
Please activate Download Manager license for automatic update. Validate license key
I have a current License that renewed in May, 2019. When I click on the Validate license link, it takes me to the Downloads > License and the current License Key is already there.
How do I update DM? Does it have to be done manually? Why is it prompting me to Validate license?
Thank you,
Michael

My team member has purchased the download manager and entered the registration key but it says that it’s invalid although we copied and pasted the exact key. The linked site url is set to the domain name without the subdomain. For example, “example.com” instead of “www.example.com”. Is it because of this? If it is, can we have the linked site changed?

Hi Shariar
As above, at least for now, please can you send me a link where I can download the previous version 4.9.7 (Pro) until the issue is resolved?
Thanks
Lawrence
Hi,
You need Crypton theme to make your site look exactly like the demo. But it is possible to use specific parts of the demo if that part is coming from a shortcode.
If you want to create the download boxes like demo create custom link template from Downloads Templates page. The demo is using a modified version of Link template Panel.
Thanks.
