Hi together,
i’ve a small issue with my download speed. For example:
– 5.75GB File download via http link (or added via http link in the download package) in 20 min
– Same file added via file manager loads in much longer time than 1 hour.
I testet also the download speed module with no entry (leave the field empty) or adding speed parameters like this: 100000000
The only option to get it fast again when a file was added via file explorer at the download package is: resumable downloads
When i deactivate it… its fast again. But then the webbrowser can’t calculate the time is left to get the download finished.
Has anyone an idea to get it better work?
Best regards
Christoph
I have installed the Pro version of Download Manager on your site, you’re using the free version before. Use the package shortcode to show the downloads. You were using the direct download link. Use this [wpdm_package id='10451' template="5c548c4de15c6"] insted of Curva sofa -3D Files - Download
I also created a custom link template 5c548c4de15c6 to show only title and download button just like your old style. Now you have to add the following message in your “Permission Denied Message for Packages:” settings and save settings.
<a href="https://www.tosconova.com/nuovo/wp-login.php?redirect_to=[this_url]" class="btn btn-danger btn-sm"><i class="fa fa-lock"></i> Login</a>
Side Note: Add the following code in your site .htaccess file to allow the AJAX saving of WPDM settings. Curenntly your server isn’t allowing the saving operation, that’s why I can’t add the “Permission Denied Message for Packages:”
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterRemove 001868
</IfModule>
Hi,
You need the Advanced Access Control ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-access-control/ ) add-on to assign a pacakge/download to a single user. When creating the pacakge, an admin will select the user(s). Only those user(s) are allowed to access the download. Keep the ‘Allow Access’ filed empty because that allows access to the role.
https://www.evernote.com/l/AUelpbaq5JJMMoCxKCS4V63rTuPK-DJCpckB/image.png
Create a page with this shortcode [wpdm_my_downloads] When a user visits this page they will be asked to log in. After login, the user will see downloads assigned to them. One can’t see downloads of other users.
When creating the pacakge you directly upload files to it. Or just link a directory/folder to the package. If you want to create a separate folder for each user and later upload files to the folder that works too. Just attach the user folder when creating the package and later upload files to that folder using FTP or any other means. You can also attach files various cloud storages using our add-ons https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/downloads/cloud-storage/
Let me know if you have any other query.
Thanks.

Okay, thank you for your answer.
The template tag [download_link_extended] doesn’t use a modal. However, we use the template tag [file_list], too. See attached image. And the single downloads do open a modal, unfortunately.
We absolutely prefer to handle the template styling on our own. And we want to make sure that the styling (and the functionality) keeps unchanged when we update Download Manager. We updated Download Manager three times – and every time we had to adjust our CSS. Now, we even have to re-activate Bootstrap JS/CSS, which breaks our styling completely.
Do you see my point? Do you see any way to make future updates painless? Or is Download Manager simply not the right tool in our case?
Thanks again.

It is possible to use Password lock without Bootstrap JS and CSS. You have to use a template with [download_link_extended] template tag. This tag uses an embedded lock form instead of a modal. But deactivating Bootstrap CSS will affect your page template style. So, you have to handle the custom template styling on your own.
Dear Sirs and Madames,
Unfortunately I have massive problems with the “WordPress Download Manager”.
To get back support, I have transferred 39 € by PayPal. Now I am again in my area on their homepage, the switch “get to License key” displayed. If I click on the switch, a window opens with the license number and the wrong domain “feg2.schrader-erf.de” The domain must be correct: feg-erfurt.de How can the domain be changed? I always get an error message when I enter the license number on my homepage.
And then there is a big problem. I have made an update to version 5.0.3 of WordPress. Now the Download Manager is no longer displayed – see here: https://www.feg-erfurt.de/predigten/. Here is a link how the page would look like: http://www.feg2.schrader-erf.de/predigten/
Could you please help me?
Yours sincerely
Holger Schrader
Please send me the CSV file and temporary wp-admin login info in private reply. You can send me a download link for the CSV file as it seems upload failed for your attached CSV.
I have purchased the add-on that allows for e-mail lock, and I have been able to receive the generated download link. However, I do not know where I can go as an administrator to see the e-mail addresses which have downloaded the package. If I go to the stats page, I get an IP address as the “user” who downloaded the package. That’s not very helpful. I’d rather have the email address since email lock was enabled.
Can I get an e-mail sent to an admin of the site whenever someone has downloaded a package? I don’t want to add them to something like mailchimp.
I just want a notification via email that a package has been downloaded and the associated e-mail address which downloaded it. How can I get this?
Thanks!

We have been using Download Manager Pro on a client website since 2016:
– The WordPress theme is custom built and does not include Bootstrap.
– We disabled Bootstrap JS/CSS in the Download Manager Settings (because we want our own styles).
– We use a custom Download Manager page template: [file_list] and [download_link_extended]
In version 4.6 everything worked fine. On the downloads page (in the frontend) you entered the password, clicked on the download link and the browser dialog (“Save file as …”) opened.
Since version 4.7 our frontend is broken. When you click on a download link, a Bootstrap modal window (invoked by download-manager/assets/js/front.js) is opened. But as mentioned above, we disabled Bootstrap JS/CSS, so the modal doesn’t work correctly.
My Questions:
1. Is it no longer possible to use Download Manager without Bootstrap?
2. Is there a way to disable the modal?
Thanks a lot.

Hello,
Our setup is using the FTP add-on to link files in packages.
After updating both WPDM (4.7.7 to 4.9.0) and WordPress (4.9.9 to 5.0.3) we are experiencing some download problems.
Since doing those updated when clicking any file’s download button we get a txt file “download error” that specifies a URL that was not retrievable. It seems like the file ID get’s inserted into the URL? Something like this: http://ftp.example/5b28a0e884de9-filename-example.pdf
I believe that before this ID was not inserted into the URL.
I have reverted to a backup for now, any idea what might be causing this?
Code entered on the page :
[wpdm-archive category=”87″ cat_view=”extended” button_style=”default” link_template=”link-template-calltoaction3.php” order_by=”data” order=”desc” items_per_page=”10″]
URL of the page: https://www.acbrescia.it/materiale-archivio/
Before the update the button arrangement was horizontal (figure 1) with this code:
<div class=”wpdm-categories”>
<ul class=”row”>
<li class=”col-md-4 col-sm-6″>
> File Audio
<ul class=”dropdown-menu” role=”menu” aria-labelledby=”dLabel”>
<li class=”col-md-4 col-sm-6″>
> File Video
<ul class=”dropdown-menu” role=”menu” aria-labelledby=”dLabel”>
</div>
After the update the button layout has become vertical (figure 2) with this code:
<div class=”wpdm-categories”>
<ul class=”row”>
<li class=”col-md-4 col-sm-6″>
> File Audio
<ul class=”dropdown-menu” role=”menu” aria-labelledby=”dLabel”>
<li class=”col-md-4 col-sm-6″>
> File Video
<ul class=”dropdown-menu” role=”menu” aria-labelledby=”dLabel”>
</div>
You can replace the [download_link] tag in link or page template with the following code to open download in a new tab,
<a class="btn btn-primary" target="_blank" href="[download_url]">[link_label]</a>
Where are you trying to change the download button behavior? Is it in all downloads table or in package shortcodes? The solution will work for shortcodes or package details page.
Do you mean opens the file in the browser? You can uncheck the “Open in Browser” option from Settings Basic File Download panel to download the file instead of opening it on the browser.
If you are referring to the opening of package details page, then just remove the [page_link] or [page_url] tag from your link template.
Please send me a link to understand the situation better in case I missed something.
Use template to define link template in category shortcode. Maybe you are using link_template. Removing [download_link] tag from your link template should remove the download button. From your template code, I see that you have already done it. So, it must be the shortcode parameter issue.
However, send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply if you want me to check the issue there. You can use the WPDM TinyMCE button add-on to insert the shortcode easily.
Where do I remove the “usage limits” and “expire after” from the “Email Download Link” and how can add sending files to registered users/groups of user to this area?
“Is it possible to have the share option to display a list user to share the file with versus the current options? ” was never answered, and I’ll clarify just to be sure. In the backend under all packages, I click the green arrow to send a share/download link, or if i hit the share button on the front-end a modal pops up and ask me to input email. How can this area display a list of users/user groups be added versus having to manually add email addresses?
You can use the Tree View to make it look like FTP folders. Each folder represents a WPDM category. Here is the tree view demo https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/tree-view/
If you want more extensive download archive with sear and category filtering then I suggest using Archive Page add-on ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-directory-add-on/ ) There are many variations of Archive View and you can use link template to control the view of each package there. Archive Demo: https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-default/
You have to create the categories and packages. But you can use bulk import ( CSV ) feature. This is faster than manually creating all packages. Create a CSV file where each row represents a package. Your categories, tags etc will be created automatically when importing the CSV. I have attached a sample CSV below.
I am migrating my site to another domain and need to move my Download Manager Pro license to the new domain. Is there a way I can link my license to another site?
For now, You can enable instant download. That will show a download button when the user submits the email. No way yet to hide the form when using the “Email Download Link” option.
In that case, use a template that has the [download_link_extended] template tag. The built-in “Single Column, Image Top, Extended” page template includes this tag.
If you are using a custom template then just replace [download_link] tag with [download_link_extended]. This tag embeds the form in the page.
You can show only single captcha in a page when using the embedded lock ( shows the reCAPTCHA without clicking any button ). Use the popup lock if you want more than one captcha in a single page.
Embedded reCAPTCHA comes from [download_link_extended]. You have to use a link template with [download_link] template tag which shows the lock in a popup/iframe. The reCAPTCHA lock appears after clicking the download button in this case.
Hi,
We are using custom template there. You can build your own custom link template from Downloads Templates page. This tutorial explains how to create custom template https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/building-a-wordpress-download-manager-link-template-from-scratch/
You can copy the template code from the tutorial and edit on top of it. Link and Page templates use template tags to show various package info. Template tags are listed in the template editor sidebar. You can check the tag list here too https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/template-tags/
Use the following code in your template to show the package title with a link to the details page,
<a href="[page_url]">[title]</a>
Thanks.
