Hi,
How to make:
1. Download only to subscribers, but the download button is always displayed on the download page. When a visitor clicks the download button, I get the information that the download is only for subscribers.
2. How do I display the last entries on the main page? Currently I am displaying blog entries via the following code:
<?php $catquery = new WP_Query( 'cat=1&posts_per_page=6' ); ?>
<?php while($catquery->have_posts()) : $catquery->the_post(); ?>
<div class="box">
<div class="boximg">
<img class="h-100 w-100" src="<?php echo the_post_thumbnail_url( 'medium' ); ?>" alt="<?php echo $image_title = get_the_title( $image->id ); ?>">
</div>
<div class="detailbox">
<h4><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

Do you want to replace the download button with a link to the pacakge details page? Yes, it is possible. You can add the details page link with the package title too. Please read the shortcode documentation here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_all_packages-list-all-downloads-in-tabular-format-in-a-page/
If you need help with that send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply.
After updating to version 4.9.7, all of my links are now showing 404 errors. I’m not sure what changed, but definitely could use some help. You can see an example here:

Hi,
In the last update, there was some major upgrade on the link/page templates. However, you can change the link template for that shortcode using TinyMCE shortcode generator add-on:
Advanced TinyMCE button
Or, if you are already using Gutenberg, use:
Gutenberg Blocks
Hi,
The download button that appears when the user is redirected to the guest order page ( without clicking the “Proceed” button ) does have an issue. We will fix it in next version.
The issue that happens after clicking “Proceed” is originated from caching. But not from the cache plugin. I tested this after deactivating your cache plugin. The download works when I clear the browser cache of this URL https://marketyourcraft.com/?wpdmdl=11332&oid=5cfb714b83814 ( The “Download link is expired” notice page )
If you have any server level caching settings try deactivating it. I see an option to flush cache from Managed WordPress menu in admin bar. This cache must be coming from the server option.
Best regards.
Could someone explain to me how I could click on the order link sent in an email, 5 test transactions ago, could produce an order details page with the current order ID and downloads? When I try it that way, I’m able to download the most recent order. Please see the attached screenshot. I’m trying to figure out if this is a caching issue. Can’t find how the order/cart is stored (cookie or some other means) so that I can make changes to settings in WP-Rocket to “never cache.” I’ve tried never caching /orders/, /cart/, and /cancel/ which seemed to help. But I’ve never been able to place an order and download in the same session from the order details page – always produces a “download link is expired” message. Only able to download in the scenario above, some time after the initial sale.
Both sets of credentials are still valid if you’d like to go in and take a look. Basically I need to understand why so much of these transactions is being stored or cached, I think that might be the solution to why I keep getting expired link messages. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Hi Akotherm,
Thank you for your query. If you already bought the WPDM Pro you can ask your question here for faster feedback > https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/forum/download-manager-pro/
Using WPDM Pro version you can generate temporary download link which will bypass the access rules. Please refer to the attached images for details.

Just to test whether there was a conflict with any of my site plugins or the child theme, I started a new secured site with only the WPDM plugins and pages enough to test the guest orders. In that scenario, the “Download link is expired” message also pops up, which leads me to believe it’s an issue with the guest orders. I used the default settings from the plugin installs. I will send you login information in a separate note so you and your team can troubleshoot a fresh install of the latest plugins on a completely barebones site. I’m going to try and revert back to the last version of both Download Manager and Premium Packages that worked for me (last year).
Thanks for your continued assistance with this.
Scott
Hi Francesco,
Thank you for choosing WordPress Download Manager.
Yes, you can do that and that direct link will keep track of your download.
Just refer to the attached picture for getting a direct download link.

Hi there,
This morning I made the update to WPDM-pro 4.9.7 and now all the individual download-links of the files are missing. Clients can “download package” but the individual download-links of the file-list are gone. Please help me because almost 300 clients can not use the website right now.
Greetings from Marcel
Thank you, Andy, for your input.
Hi Marc, Use the [wpdm_frontend] shortcode to upload files from the frontend. Andy’s reply explains the details of this feature. And here is the doc link https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_frontend-front-end-uploader-ui/
You have to use a link/page template with [file_list] template tag to show the file list. Try the built-in Playlist or Extended page template. But to add select and download the all files later you need the File Cart add-on https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-file-cart/
I have an active copy download manager (pro) my WPDM account says that my license is linked to modfinder.net this is correct. However, from the wp dashboard, it says that my copy of wpdm is not active and to get auto updates I need a valid key
i have search this forum about this problem but i can’t find a solution.
so i wanna sort my downloads per update_date :
this is my shortcode
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="20" categories="free-radioshows-podcasts,free-trance-downloads" jstable=1 order_by="update_date" order="ASC/DESC" cols="page_link,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date" colheads="Title|Categories|Update Date"]
older files showing on top … and newer ones at the end …
how can i fix that ?
Generate a secure downloadable link not working. Just get error unauthorized access which makes no sense since I have admin privileges.
Shariar, hope the weekend was a good one. Now the “download link is expired” error message occurs in every scenario: when you first reach the order details page following the transaction, when you reach it via email link, and when you press “proceed” with email and order number inputs. Any help with this one is appreciated, thanks for making the time.

We will add the patch in next release, so update won’t erase the patch.
You have to use a custom link template. To skip the details page remove the [page_link] tag from your template. And to open in new window replace [download_link] with the following code,
<a href="[download_url]" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary">[link_label]</a>
Just tested your custom template. The PDF is now opening in a new tab.
I just want the link for the title and download link to open the file in a new browser and not take the user to the download page generated by your system
Thanks so much, will these be included in future updates so i don’t overwrite your local fixes when the next version comes out?
Also please can you explain how to get a link to open in a new window as i am having no luck after the following instruction on the forum
I am using this on template Test 7 but is failing to open in a new tab / browser

When there are too many files in a package and the total size is bigger than usual your server is failing to compress the file due to server limitation. And the compression process is being halted on halfway which is creating those junk file. My suggestion is, turn off main package download link on those packages and use the only single file download option.
