Hi,
I’m trying to do something a bit “complex”.
We want to give some of our users a from (maybe a gravity form module) where they may insert title, subtitle, mini bio and upload 6 files>
1 black and white DOC
1 colored DOC
1 black and white PDF
1 colored PDF
1 black and white JPG
1 colored JPG
Also choose the category and the tags.
Then we would need each entry of this form to be inserted in a wpdm package, where the page template the final users must see, has the following structture>
– Title
– description that contains subtitle and mini bio
– black and white DOC autogenerated thumbnail + download link
– colored PDF autogenerated thumbnail + download link
– black and white PDF autogenerated thumbnail + download link
– colored and white JPG autogenerated thumbnail + download link
– black and white JPG autogenerated thumbnail + download link
Is this possible with WPDM? How may I do it?
thanks for the support
Hello,
It doesn’t seem that the password dialog is a real popup, but we have the same issue on other browsers and other OS.
If you click the link in the post (without copying it), you cannot then click on the Download button, and you need to go to the address bar ant type enter to reload the page.
Best regards
Good Morning,
I have some documents on my website which are linked as documents from Media, i would like to add these to Download Manager so i can track downloads. For example on this page, http://culchethhigh.org.uk/parental/ there are a list of policies and these documents that i want adding.
I have gone through all the Default Template options and cant find one that is suitable as i would like one that when viewed by the public they dont see the file size, downloads and a download button, its is just a text link as i already have.
Would this be a possible option?
Thank you
Yes, you can remove the download button. Just use a custom link template. You can clone the current link template from Downloads Templates page. Remove the [download_link] template tag from the custom template to hide the download button.
Hello,
When going directly to our download page from a link, we cannot click the link to display the unlock code.
But if we go to the address bar of the browser and I revalidate the address, the button works or if we accessing using the menu it also works
I cannot manage to find what is the difference and how to solve this.
Could you please help us?
Best regards
Hi,
I want to display a table with certain categories, e.g. Category1 AND Category2. Or sometimes Category2, BUT NOT Category 1.
Is this possible in the shortcode, and how?
Thanks!
Erwin

The thing is package details page or link template won’t show this download link to the non-members. I guess you are using this URL in a customized way.
There is still a way to redirect the user using the wpdm_download_permission_denied hook. Add the following code to your theme’s function.php file to redirect the user to the login page ( replace the your_login_url with proper url ),
add_action('wpdm_download_permission_denied', 'wpdm_permission_denied_login_redirect');
function wpdm_permission_denied_login_redirect($id){
if( !is_user_logged_in() ):
wp_redirect( "your_login_url" );
exit();
endif;
}
Hi, Claus you can also add the following code in your Customize Additional CSS to fix the button width,
.wpdm-download-link.btn {
width: auto !important;
}
Thanks, Prodesigner for the help.

This may be related to server capacity. Stamping the file requires a fair amount of server resource. Could you please send me the file to test it on my server? You can use the private reply or send me a download link.

Hello guys, we currently have the problem that the download does not work anymore. It only appears the wheel but no download begins. Can you please help us? I have set up a test download. Here the link:

In the backend I found the following error message, maybe this helps you further.
Warning: file_put_contents(/home/tefuetqm/htdocs/gs/wp-content/uploads/wpdm-cache/wpdm_green-solutions.info): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/tefuetqm/htdocs/gs/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/wpdm-core.php on line 170
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Shahriar, thanks for getting back.
I just realise what was causing the problem. I have been using the ‘User Access Manager’ plugin to restrict access to WPDM download packages (by giving packages one or more Categories with access rights controlled by UAM), as this was the only way to bulk edit access rights for our 250+ download packages. By using UAM, the package detail page was restricted to users with roles A and B, but the attachment appeared still accessible by users with role C by clicking the download button or by following a direct hyperlink to that attachment.
I just tested setting the access rights by way of the native WPDM ‘Access’ field, and now the download package is completely hidden to users with role C, and neither can they open it by following a direct hyperlink. So WPDM is doing a great job there in terms of securely restricting access, but the problem remains that there is no way for me to bulk edit access rights on download packages. I have tried bulk inline editing the WPDM ‘Access’ field with Admin Columns Pro, but unfortunately that does not do the trick either.
Would you happen to know a way to bulk edit access rights on WPDM packages?
If a user doesn’t have access to the pacakge he won’t be able to generate this download URL. I guess you got this URL after unlocking the pacakge. To prevent sharing of this URL you can limit the usage of this temporary download URL. Set the limit from “Private Download Links Usage Limit:” option in the Basic Settings tab.
More Specifically there is no click-event taking place when I click ‘Select Files’.
I have taken over this plugin for a client, However, once Purchasing the pro version there is still an issue with files not uploading. I can Log in, Add New, etc… All up unto the point where the User (administrator and Authors) tries to upload a file. there is no prompt, Nor can I drag and drop Files, They just open up in the browser.
These are the Plugins for WPDM:
WPDM – Advanced Custom Fields – Version 1.2.1. (Previous Owner bought this, CANNOT Update ( v1.9.0 ))
WPDM – Block Hotlink – Version 2.1.0. (UP TO DATE)
WPDM – Custom Access Level – Version 2.4.2. (Previous Owner bought this, CANNOT Update ( v2.8.2 ))
WPDM – Dropbox Explorer – Version 1.3.2. (UP TO DATE)
WPDM – Extended Short-codes – Version 2.8.2. (UP TO DATE)
WPDM – File Manager – Version 1.2.0. (Previous Owner bought this, CANNOT Update ( v1.3.0 ))
WPDM – Google Drive – Version 1.4.1. (UP TO DATE)
WPDM – Import Download Monitor Data – Version 1.0.0. (UP TO DATE)
WPDM – TinyMCE Button – Version 2.7.4. (UP TO DATE)
Because I have the New Pro Updated version as a new customer, I don’t have access to update the other paid products, If you know the issue is because of a specific Plugin, I can Speak to discuss upgrading specific paid plugins.
I can provide any Additional Information if needed.
I have a site which is using accordions. The client keeps reporting back that they and their clients cannot access files behind the accordion. It’s only on certain browsers (mostly on a PC). Instead, it’s returning a “-1” instead of the content. It’s hard to reproduce every time, but I (and the client) has seen it a few times over the past few weeks.
It’s almost identical to this issue reported a few months ago – https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/topic/problems-with-1-notification-on-package-links/
Which I see points to another fix talking about users logged in / logged out – but that fix doesn’t apply to us as all of our files are public so we don’t gate anything baed on user login.
When I can replicate it, sometimes a few refreshes work. Sometimes it’s by clearing cache.
Okay. I have done as you suggested. I tried to apply different page template to see if any changes to the layout but no effect. Plus when clone ‘Single Column, Extended, PlayList’. I did not see the tag [file list]. Here is the code.
<div class=”row”>
<div class=”col-md-12″>
<ul class=”list-group”>
<li class=”list-group-item [hide_empty:version]”>
<span class=”badge”>[version]</span>
[txt=Version]
<li class=”list-group-item [hide_empty:download_count]”>
<span class=”badge”>[download_count]</span>
[txt=Download]
<li class=”list-group-item [hide_empty:file_size]”>
<span class=”badge”>[file_size]</span>
[txt=File Size]
<li class=”list-group-item [hide_empty:file_count]”>
<span class=”badge”>[file_count]</span>
[txt=File Count]
<li class=”list-group-item [hide_empty:create_date]”>
<span class=”badge”>[create_date]</span>
[txt=Create Date]

Please advise
When using the wpdm_package_form front-end uploader, the files are not being attached to the download.
When viewing a resource package uploaded via the front-end uploader, we either have a “Download Error” with no link to download anything, or if we do have a download link, it produces a “download_not_available.txt” file that says that file is not available yet.
Please advise what the issue may be or troubleshooting steps.
You can use the /download-manager/languages/download-manager.pot file to create the translation file. But if you just want to chnage these 2 strings then here is the simplest way,
Change the “Your Name” text from line no 1700 in /download-manager/wpdm-functions.php file.
Use send_download_link_to_label hook to customize the “Send Download Link To:” text. Here is the code you have to add to your theme’s functions.php file.
function wpdm_send_download_link_to_label( $text ){
$text = 'Customized label for Send Download Link To:';
return $text;
}
add_filter('send_download_link_to_label','wpdm_send_download_link_to_label');
You can use [similar_downloads] template tag in WPDM Custom link/page templates to show similar downloads. This tag shows downloads with similar tags.
Hi,
You have to customize wpdm-all-downloads.php template file to change the download button behavior. Create a custom template file for all downloads table to keep the changes even after the plugin update. Here is how you can do that,
1 ) Copy the /download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php file.
2 ) Place it in /active-theme/download-manager/ directory.
3 ) Replace echo $download_link; with echo "<a target='_blank' href='".\WPDM\Package::getDownloadURL($data['ID'])."'>Download</a>"; in line no 355
That should open the links in a new tab.
Thanks.
Hi Shahriar
Thank you for coming back to me but I am afraid that this is still not working. We are clearly making some progress as the files are now visible at the front end however:
a. the file uploader is still not working from the file manager – front end
b. I am unable to download/view files from the front end
additionally the pdf viewer is not working which I presume may be linked to the same issue?
I appreciate that you guys are really busy but I really must make progress here now so if you could get back to me asap it would be appreciated.
kind regards
Paul
I have a Bluehost account. When I access the Errors page through my cPanel, no errors are displayed.
In any case, I discovered a bug. When the locked form is embedded in a page, the email with the Download link is not issued. When the locked form pops up, then the Download link email is issued. I have tested this multiple times. This only works when the file is hosted on Box.
When the file is hosted locally, the Download link email is sent, but the “Download link is expired” error message is displayed. I believe that the link that is embedded in the email is malformed for the Bluehost server. The link in the email is:
https://oysterriverfinancial.com/?wpdmdl=530&_wpdmkey=5c74a382b533d&refresh=5c74a382b6ac91551147906
The master key is: 5c74a96c7242c

Perhaps you can see a problem.
Sounds too simple or I don’t understand your question?
Sample:
[thumb_50x50]
<br style=”clear:both”/>
<b>[page_link]</b><br/>
<b>[download_count]</b> downloads
<b>[version]</b> version
Hi, Just Purchased, but I am having a problem getting a link to display both the version of the file and the downloads.
Is there a way to display both number of downloads and version on the links?
James
