Hi,
As you can see in this link https://hre.es/descargas/ the categories menu is not working as the demo site example https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-default/ .
Please could you help me fixing the explained issues of the attached screenshot?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
We are using email lock, and have configured the plugin not to send the email link to the user, but to allow download right away. However, on the screen where the user enters their email address, the helper text says:
“Send Download Link To:”
Because we are not sending the link, this is ambiguous and is confusing our customers. I’d like to change the wording on this to something more appropriate but am struggling to locate this wording in the various PHP files in the plugin install directory. Please can you point me to where this string is defined so that I can change it to something more acceptable?
Cheers,
Phil
unfortunately when you use the Login Required Message, it doesn’t display the login form when you use the link. This is a problem if you want the form to show up instead of a link to a page to login.
Instead, I had to use Code Snippets and use the following:
add_action(‘wpdm_login_form’,’my_login_field’);
function my_login_field() {
?>
<p>
<h3 class=”media-heading” style=”padding-top: 0px;border:0px;margin: 0 0 5px 0;font-size:12pt;”>Login above or Register to download this file</h3>
</p>
<?php
}
Not the prettiest. Would be nicer to have a way to customize the login form that shows up instead of having just a message as the fall back. Especially since the text above only appears below the login fields.
Also, upon logging in, it would be nice if it stayed on the same page where the link was put in and just change the login form to a download form.
Ok.. so once I got the path right ( You don’t need the /tpls/ just /{theme}/download-manager/metaboxes/ <filename> .. .Then it worked.. Which at least protects my workaround for now.. But it really does need to be more properly fixed, as the 6 BR tags stretch out the border around that panel.. so it looks weird.
Additionally, tonight, a new problem has shown up.. and not sure if it’s a problem due to the Loop back error, or what…
Previously, we setup all our downloads on different pages to go directly to the files (using text links, and the direct download link). There are a couple of files setup in the menu’s and I’d say 90% of the rest of the files on various pages are linked like that. This system worked just fine when we set up the plugin originally. (Purchased Date: Apr 19, 2019).
However now, none of the links are working… Both the text links, and those using WPDM Link Templates, all direct the user to the package’s information page, and the download button on that page just keeps re-loading that page. This makes the system completely unusable.
Any idea on what’s going on here, and how to fix it? This is a critical high-priority error.
Thanks.
If your product is free for download then you can just add the URL to the package. User will be redirected to the URL when they click the download link.
Please make sure you have the latest version of Download Manager ( 4.9.3 ) and Premium Package ( 4.2.0 ) add-on. Then check the “Private Download Links Usage Limit:” option is Basic settings page. If it is set to 0 then set a bigger number there.
If the problem persists send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply.
To fix the saving issue in setting page please check my reply here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/topic/wpdm-doesnt-save-options/
Please send me the page link where you got the 404 error in the thumb.
Are you using the latest version of the plugin? If not, please download the latest version from here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/?udb_page=purchases
Deactivate and delete the old version before installing the latest one. You won’t lose any data.
I checked your license key. It isn’t linked to any domain. SO, it should work fine with the latest version. Please reactivate the login link if you want me to check the issue there.
Shahriar, would you please help troubleshoot this issue at your earliest convenience? I have installed the latest versions of both DM and Premium Package to marketyourcraft.com; successfully conduct a transaction; taken to the orders page where I either get an “order cannot be found” error or essentially a page refresh upon email and order ID entry. Any thoughts are appreciated. Is there a setting I have wrong, or something else at play that would redirect a successful transaction back to the same page without the download links? Much appreciated.

Hi….
i want to change the download (button) link that redirects to card for redirect to affiliate link..? How to make it, please answer.
Thank you,
Download link email is sent separately and sent by your site, not MailChimp. To simplify you can just disable the double opt-in. The email will be added to the list and users will get the download link email after submitting address.
Which link template are you using now? Please check the package settings and find the selected link template. Then clone this link template from Downloads Templates page. In this new cloned link template, you have to replace [download_link]
with [download_link_extended]
to use an embedded form instead of popup.
You can also override the link template selected in package settings by defining the template in your package shortcode. Check the example below,
[wpdm_package id=5387 template="link-template-calltoaction1"]
You can set the new cloned template ID as value of template
in package shortcode [wpdm_package id=5387 template="5a0a849876116"]
Here is a detailed tutorial about creating custom templates https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/building-a-wordpress-download-manager-link-template-from-scratch/
It should work. $data['link_label']
shows the download label text. Try replacing it with "Download"
echo "<a target='_blank' href='".\WPDM\Package::getDownloadURL($data['ID'])."'>"."Download"."</a>";
Please try the following shortcode,
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="20" jstable=0 order_by="modified" order="DESC" categories="brochures" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Update Date|Download"]

Hi I just updated to the latest version and the A Tag for the table format is not generating for the Title to link to the download page. It is skipping it completely.
http://projectcleanwa.wpengine.com/archive/
Also, 2 other issues:
1.) I cannot sort the table now
2.) It is trying to query everything by Update_Date but I need it to query everything by Publish_Date …
Please Help 🙂
Hi-
I don’t know if your setup is different than what the production release is, but the page can’t find a reference to $data[‘link_label’]. link_label is not a variable I am aware of and don’t see it as part of the Template maker. I have download_url and download_link. But utilizing your new file with the reference to link_label, nothing shows up in the download column.
Link error:
http://saaeunai.mg.gov.br/2018/concorrencias-2019-em-andamento/
Download ALL, error (.rar): The archive is either in unknown format or damaged
Download last 2 (.pdf): File not found or deleted from server
Microsoft Word is not opening File Download Links – For example I want to open https://www.nhslanarkshire.scot.nhs.uk?wpdmdl=5182&ind=1553676390912 hyperlinked within a Word document. The error message says ‘ https://www.nhslanarkshire.scot.nhs.uk?wpdmdl=5182&ind=1553676390912. Cannot open the specified file. ‘
The URL works fine if it is pasted into a browser. After a bit of research, including Microsoft forums, it looks like it may be due to the the ? and & symbols in the URL. Is there anyway to get a URL for an item within a package that does not include these symbols? The same issue exists using Excel etc. If it is an issue for Microsoft Office software, I am sure it will be for others. Thanks
Hi
We are getting these errors on the front end registration form:
Warning: Illegal string offset ‘logo’ in /home/detect/public_html/website/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/tpls/wpdm-reg-form.php on line 19
Warning: Cannot assign an empty string to a string offset in /home/detect/public_html/website/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/tpls/wpdm-reg-form.php on line 19
See screen grab.
Also…
After a user logs in they are not redirected to their WPD dashboard. They just get a message sating “You are already logged in.” and no link to dashboard.
Can you help please?

I see you key is linked to downloads.thepeoplesnote.com now. Maybe someone else from WPDM team unlocked the key associated with order #5cba78673bc0f
IE doesn’t support the latest features of Javascript which is used in the popup. If you want to make the lock IE compatible then use the embedded form. In your link template, you have to replace [download_link]
with [download_link_extended]
to use an embedded form instead of popup.
I need to change my linked site license key from thepeoplesnote.com to downloads.thepeoplesnote.com
Thanks
If it helps, I also tried installing it on my main site, marketyourcraft.com. Same credentials if you want to check it out. After I put WPDM in test mode, logged out of WordPress, cleared my cache, then proceeded to order, the transaction went through correctly and I was taken to the guest orders page. Like above, I pressed “proceed” with the email and order number pre-populated. This time it took me to a page that just said “success” (screenshot below). Could this be leftover test code? Should the response be the download links below the email and order number fields?
Cheers!
Scott
