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.
Good day to you.
I’m curious how you achieved the links to download detail pages on the demo site; https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/ – particularly on the home page for the “New” and “Popular” downloads. The items listed there show a “more” button, and along with the main item link they go straight to the download detail page.
Is there a particular link template to do this? Or is there shortcode to force the user to go to the download item details page, vs. a direct instant download?
Thank you in advance for any tips and advice you can provide!
Tim
Please replace the_permalink(); with echo get_the_permalink($file->ID); at line 59 in /wpdm-custom-access-level/wpdm-my-downloads.php file. Or send login info in private reply. I will make the change for you.
After creating a pacakge you can access it from package details like any regular WordPress posts. You can also use the shortcode to show the package anywhere you want. The view of shortcode is controlled by link template. There are lots of built-in templates. And you can build your own custom template too.
Please install the Advanced TinyMCE Button add-on ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-tinymce-button/ ) to insert shortcodes. It saves you the hassle of copy/pasting or remembering shortcodes.
You can check our documentation here for further info about any feature https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/docsfor/download-manager-pro/
Also, we are always here to answer any question you might have.
When I go to Dashboard > My Download > Click on package, it goes to “https://partner.octopi.com/user-dashboard/”. Need help so the link takes the visitors to the package page and not to the mentioned URL.
Thanks.
You have to add an extra class to control the size. For example, adding btn-lg class will make the button larger. Or you can just add inline CSS there.
<a class="btn btn-success btn-lg" href="[download_url]">[link_label]</a>
I have tested this on my setup. It works perfectly.
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.
1 ) Please send me a link to check. Most probably related to browser settings.
2 ) From the Download Manager settings page, disable Resumable Downloads. Let me know if that works.
Call to action link templates includes custom CSS that makes the button large. Your cloned template included those styles as you clone the CTA 3 template. I have removed the custom CSS from there, now download button size is working as it should.

Please send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply to check the issue. Do the single file download links work?
You can modify the download button style from Settings User Interface Tab. If you want to use just links instead of buttons then set ‘None’ as button style.

I apologize but I have been looking through documentation and searching YouTube for help on setting this up. I was using Buddy Docs but its not secure at all. My favorite feature of Buddy Docs was having Docs in each Buddypress Group. I know you don’ support that but I am willing to leave all that behind to just have a solid File/Download/Document Management system that my users can upload and download from but I don’t know how to set it up.
I paid the $200 for the pro all-ons pack and I really don’t know how to get a Link on my website called Files and then show all Categories (you have access) to and files in each category. Then how do you add an upload ability and select which category that upload goes to and select who can see it?
I’m sure you have it somewhere but I’m really just not comprehending and I apologize for such a stupid request for help but I’m just struggling and could use some dummy guide (step by step).
Hi Shahriar,
I’m not using WPDM templates tags. I have a custom theme, with custom PHP files. One of my php file is using the WP default loop to loop and display all the downloads.
Right now, I was using `$data[‘download_link’] = \WPDM\Package::downloadLink($data[‘ID’], 0, array(
‘template_type’ ► ‘link’
));` to display the download button.
Now, I would like to :
- Add the cart
- Add the “+” button to add files to the cart, as I explained earlier in this thread
Which function should I use ? Do I have to do something regarding the JS to add file in cart ?
Thank you in advance,
Cedric
PS : I notice that the “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” is not working.
To remove the download option just remove the [download_link] or [download_link_extended] template tag from your page/link template. You can clone the existing Doc Preview template. Let me know if you need help with the custom template. You can send login info in private reply in that case.
1 ) Use the core WordPress editor when you using WPDM TinyMCE add-on.
2 ) Using the following shortcode in the archive demo link you sent above.
[wpdm-archive button_style="secondary" link_template="link-template-panel" order_by="post_title" order="asc" items_per_page="10" cols="2"]
The shortcode is coming from WPDM Directory Add-on https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-directory-add-on/
Do you mean on this site? You can reset the password using lost password page https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/?action=lostpassword It sends an email with a reset link.
Do you see any error during download? Does it complete normally? Please send me a package link to check.

Please send temporary login info in private reply. I will create a custom template that will look like the Default Template of the Free version. Then you can use it in your shortcode.
Or
You can put the attached PHP file ( unzip to get the PHP file ) in /active-theme/download-manager/link-templates/ directory to override the default template in Pro version.
