I have made some minor changes in your shortcode. Remove the tags and download_link_blank because these aren’t valid parameters. Also changed a left double quote to double quote.

You are using an older version of Download Manager there. You should install the latest version to get the latest features.
Thanks Shahriar, I can’t get the link templates to take effect.
Changing this, in Downloads–>Settings, does nothing: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nlxw03pwfb1fzth/Screenshot%202019-02-15%2010.56.17.png?dl=0.
Also, changing this, in the individual package file, has no effect: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p85glrc8zu0vz10/Screenshot%202019-02-15%2010.58.35.png?dl=0
Can you advise? Thank you!
Hi,
I have installed the Form Lock addon on your site. Using this add-on you can lock a package behind a form. Just enable the Form Lock and select the form when creating or editing the package. Please check the screenshot below.
https://www.evernote.com/l/AUfK_nc67SNO3KTvrpw1EnzF-Fsoot4AhNEB/image.png
After submitting the form you will get an email with download link. The email looks like the following screenshot.
https://www.evernote.com/l/AUelXA6ZXU1EZLWNyrDCiQ7B_xE6rMRcmIUB/image.png
The email template is customizable from Downloads Templates Email Templates page.
Let me know if you have any further query.
Thanks.
Use a page/link template with [file_list] template tag. There are lots of built-in template with this tag. For example, you can use the “Single Column, Image Top” page template.
Or if you want you can build your own custom template from Downloads Templates page.
There is JS error in console. Please send temporary admin login info in private reply. The issue may be related to the error. Although the publish date works fine in my setup. Did you customize the all downloads table template? There is no built-in support for “download_link_blank”.
Did you try the [download_link_extended] tag? That should work on IE too. I see you are still using the popup.
Hello Shahriar,
thank you very much for your answer! Unfortunately, I already read that and used it in my code, but it still dosen’t work:
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="20" categories="beschluss-und-positionspapiere, documents-in-foreign-languages, grafiken, initiativen, reden, studien-und-analysen, vortraege-und-praesentationen, weitere-themenbereiche" jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="DESC" cols="title,tags,download_count|excerpt|categories|publish_date|download_link_blank“ colheads="Title|Excerpt|Categories|Publish Date|Download::155px"]
Instead of publish_date it shows the update_date and excerpt isn’t displayed at all… See here the second table: https://hans-josef-fell.de/dokumente_tabelle
Could you please let me know, what I’ve done wrong?
Best regards
Siglinde
It doesn’t work when they download from the grid. Only if they click on the link to open the card.
Do you want to use single download link for multiple pacakge and apply the email lock on that link? File Cart add-on allows a user to add files from various packages and download all file later from the cart using a single download button. It does have the email link option but doesn’t apply the email lock.
Sorry, it is not possible yet.

Great! its working. Two quick questions:
Q1: how can i share a temporary download link to my customers, in case they miss to download the item or want to re-download it?
Q2: To make it keep working, is there any specific setting i need to tune every time i update the plugin? or is it a permanent fix?
Thanks.
Even if the popup auto closes, if the user wants to get another link, they can click download button again and request another link with email.
Hello,
we have used the pro plugin for a table on this page: https://hans-josef-fell.de/dokumente_tabelle
by using this code:
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="20" categories="beschluss-und-positionspapiere, documents-in-foreign-languages, grafiken, initiativen, reden, studien-und-analysen, vortraege-und-praesentationen, weitere-themenbereiche" jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="DESC" cols="title,tags,download_count|categories|publish_date|download_link_blank“ colheads="Title|Categories|Publish Date|Download::155px"]
We would like to have the publishing date instead of the updating date displayed in the table. Furthermore, we also would like to display the excerpt of the package in the table if this is possible. How should we write the code?
Thanks and best regards

Hi,
Master download link is working fine now. FYI, only master download link will be able to download premium items directly if you authorize it.
Download Manager Pro latest version + your custom Form Lock add-on works fine. Just tested the email link option on my demo setup. Got email after form submission.
Hi there,
Question for this evening, i am using Download manager since many many years and i’m completely satisfied.
Using the 4.1.3 since i installed it with another plugin to order download by alphabetical order, i decided to update it with the lastest version of WPDM.
Badly, i had to postpone the update due to some graphic changes/issues with my template that was not supported anymore with the lastest wordpress.
during the time i need to investigate to modify WPDM template to fit my old wordpress template, is there a way to order download by name? i saw few times on google some short code or other things, but there is actually no short code to input. I add a category, add downloads to it, and i add the link of the category on my menu. thats it (unless i missed something)
Which file should i modify for ALWAYS having all my downloads, from any category to be orderded by alphabetical order?
My goal is to remove the other plugin that was re-ordering downloads on top of WPDM.
Thanks!
actually using : “Alphabetic Pagination” plugin otherwise it’s always by date
Hi,
Use a custom link template to customize the look. You can clone the link template you are using now. Then remove the [file_size] tag from there to remove the size indicator.
Access the template edit from Downloads Templates page. Send login info in private reply if you need help with the custom template.
Thanks.

Hello–
My client is using WPDM to manage a variety of file types, including links. I’d like to update the display so that “Download” changes to “Link” and to remove the size indicators: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gjk5nehhi6b4bpl/Screenshot%202019-02-08%2013.48.42.png?dl=0.
I am using both the base WPDM plugin and the Archive Page plugin, but I can’t figure out where to adjust these. Can you help me understand where to look for that?
Thanks much!

When I turn on Email Lock, and someone is entering their information to download the file, the prompt for their email address is messed up (see attached).
Right now it says, “Send Download Link To:”, and then the prompt says: ‘.$eeml.’
How can I change it to say Email?
Please read my last reply again. I think you have missed what I explained in the last paragraph and in the screenshot. The point is You have to replace all your direct links ( e.g. Curva Sofa 2D files – Download ) with a shortcode like this [wpdm_package id='pacakge_id']
All filters can be applied by following the approach shown here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/filter-reference/wpdm_single_file_download_link/
And here is anothet example. I have modified the single file download button text here.
add_filter('single_file_download_link_label','single_file_download_link_label');
function single_file_download_link_label($file){
return 'Custom Label';
}
i’ve downloaded the add on – default value- setted the link as the attacched file…is it corret?…i don’t see any changes
Hi Ariane,
There are some filter hooks available to customize the [file_list_extended] output.
1 ) single_file_download_link_label Customize the single file download link label. Default label is ‘Download’
2 ) wpdm_single_file_download_link Customize the single file download link
3 ) individual_file_action Add additional options with single file. i.e. add file cart button
4 ) file_list_extended_show_thumbs Show / Hide thumb.
Or you can just make your own custom tag using the approach suggested above to add more customization.
Thanks.
