Search Results for 'download link'

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.

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.

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.

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/

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.

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.

Please deactivate the cache zip file option from WPDM Settings. Or send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply, I will update the settings. Also, keep the single file download option only. To do that you have to use [file_list] or [file_list_extended] template tag in your link/page template and remove the [download_link] tag to disable whole package download option.

Hi,

Please replace the [download_link] template tag with the following code. You have to use custom link/page template for that.

<a href="[download_url]" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary">[link_label]</a>

Also, make sure to activate the “Open in browser” option.

Thanks.

Hi Vela,

I am NOT WPDM Support

There is a setting for this:

Downloads –> Settings –> Basic –> [ File Download ]

Find the Check box that reads:

[ ] Open in Browser
Try to Open in Browser instead of download when someone clicks on download link

Check that and when a user clicks on them, it should open in the browser rather than trying to download (on files that CAN be opening in a browser.. PowerPoints and Word Docs will most likely just goto the download dialog or download depending on browser settings).

As to making it open in a new tab…. I know when creating a text link, you can check a box that says “open in a new tab” or some such, but I believe that’s a WordPress dialog, and you have to manually copy the direct download link into it. At least that’s the only way I’ve found to open in a new tab.

The support people might know a different (better?) way to do it. It’s also possible that you could edit the templates to do what you want.

I am also getting #locked after purchasing the Form Lock plugin and installing it… it shows up after completing a form in the download link. why is this the case? how do I change it? This is very frustrating!
