All of my downloads are throwing this error. I also have the “do not send email” checked and it shows a message saying “Download link also sent to your email!” Can you please help me? Here is an example https://karleyhall.com/window-messages-of-love/
The problem is actual, the captcha v2 version, when I click the download link, an additional recaptcha window appears and nothing happens. This problem appeared when installing the Pro plugin on the free version of everything works. How to fix the problem on the Pro version of the plugin.

by default, you are using link-template-default.php for link template and page-template-default.php for the page template. As documentation, you have to copy the file in the theme directory naming a folder called download-manager, then paste it in page-templates for page template or link-templates for link template. And you have to replace [download_link] with <a href="[download_url]" class="btn btn-primary" target="_blank">[link_label]</a> in related PHP file.
Hi there,
I have ticked ‘Open in Browser’ but I want my ‘Download’ button to open the file in a new tab.
I created a new Link template with this as the HTML VIEW PDF
Then assigned that template to the package.
But doesnt seem to be working.
Any way to make all downloads open in a new tab when ‘Open in Browser’ is enabled?
still the same, when I upgrade using the updates tab it uninstalls the add on and the manual download link downloads the old version not the updated one
Hi, in this moment i use free version about Download Manager. It’s possible remove link on the text and leave only the download button active?
Last question: when you click on the download button, can you open the file in a new window? Thank You
I am using the pdf previewer add-on as my page template. As well as showing the PDF previewer (which is great) it is also inserting the ‘featured image’ on top of it from the package. How do I prevent the featured image being shown on that template?
download_link=1 parameter is working fine from my side. if possible, Please, give your temporary wp-admin login details in a private reply for checking.
how can I add download URL in email template like when someone makes purchase audio they can get download link directly in the email soo they click and download the file directly via clicking link
I first tried to update my version of Download Manager pro from the WP dashboard but got an error. When I go to that page you linked to in your response above and click on the download button to re-download the Download Manager Pro, I get a message that says “Your email address has been blocked”. I very urgently need to re-install the latest version of the pro plugin. Could you please help with that?
I know tree view is quite an old feature but actually the shortcode “direct_link=1” doesn’t really work. “tree view” produces a wonderful tree of files but when the branches are clicked the download page is displayed.
I use te following code:
[wpdm_tree download_link=1 category=”formulare” ]
I have a hard wrapping my head around all the possibilities offered by WPDM…
I have more question (sorry) !
If I understand everything correctly : templates are meant to be used to display packages (package page + packet link). Is that right?
However, if I use packages to upload my images I’ll end up with 3000 packages. That seems a bit counter productive to me…
Ideally I would upload my image with the help of the asset manager in a secure folder, like “download manager files” (tell me if that’s not a good idea).
I end up with 2 possibilities: https://snipboard.io/DtKLVj.jpg
1. I can copy the shortcode. But then I have to change the default template so that it displays the image itself. But my theme only allows me to input links for galleries…
2. I can generate a link, this gives me the option of setting the authorized user roles (the shortcode doesn’t give me that option). Great ! But when I copy and paste the link in my gallery, I don’t see the image. I see what the default link template allows me to show.
I figure I have to change that template (the way you detailed above). But I would ask the template to display the featured image…And is there one in this case?
I figure this leaves me with one last option : I upload the image through the media library, secure it thanks to WPDM, delete the thumbnails so they can’t be accessed. This way I don’t have any trouble displaying it in galleries and featured images, where and how I need.
Is there a reason why I shouldn’t do that?
Also I’m wondering: is WPDM compatible with plugins that allow me to add folders to the media library? That would make things less cluttered.
For #1, you can apply for role-based protection as brother Shahjada clarified.
#2, For image (in galleries, lightboxes, etc.), you can follow, this template hierarchy doc, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/template-tags/, here, you will find tag name for images [thumb_gallery_WxH] also for featured image preview [preview] tag. you can use them. you can do it from Downloads > Templates > link-templates/page-templates, you can clone them or create a new one. and thus you can edit them or use in your own package settings > page-templates/link-templates.
Furthermore, for this doc, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/
by default, you are using link-template-default.php for link template and page-template-default.php for the page template. As documentation, you have to copy the file in the theme directory naming a folder called download-manager, then paste it in page-templates for page template or link-templates for link template. and edit them as your own requirements.
#3, you can do it by Set Downloads > Settings > Basic > File Download > Mask Download Link
#4, you can protect them from role-based protection too.
#5, For that you can use it in your page template the [preview] tag
#6, You can remove the download link tag from your own custom template and apply for the role-based protection.
Sorry, I’m getting confused with this plugin. There is so much to understand.
I have the feeling things aren’t as simple as I thought.
Here’s a summary of what I know :
-I have images that I want protected : they can be seen by authorized user roles.
-These images have to be displayed on a page like any regular image (in galleries, lightboxes, etc.) No need to make a downloadable package. –
-I don’t want people to be able to access them through direct link ; I don’t want Google to be able to see them either.
-I can’t upload them to my media library because that triggers the thumbnails generation and it seems there’s nothing I can do to stop it. I can protect the master image, but not the thumbnails.
-I want to use them as featured images, but it seems that’s impossible if they are not in the media library (or is there another way?)
*edit* I found a plugin that allows me to enter a URL for featured img BUT the URL generated by WPDM doesn’t display an image…
If I upload the image in a secure WPDM folder, the link I generate (with user restriction) doesn’t work in galleries : I don’t see the image, I see the download link…
Thank you for this! I was trying to create a private gallery displaying the images uploaded in the package to see if that was a possible solution…
I’m still looking for a way to display my images instead of a download button, but I think the answer might be in the templates. I’m trying to figure out how to make one that suits my needs.
I’ll keep searching, but if you have any advice I’d be happy to learn more 😉
If there is a way to just copy the secure link generated by WPDM to display my images in the gallery it would be awesome !
Is it possible to filter out, or hide one category from shortcode [wpdm-search-page]?
I would like add few packages that i don’t want to show at default front page listing, for example package that is created especially for one user. Now i can give one user permission to download, but still all others user can see it at front…
My idea is to create special categories for that situation and put all unwanted packages there, and send only link to download for users that have permission to download.
Is it possible? Or it can be done in the better way ?
