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.
The view depends on the page template. You can change the template from package settings. You can even create your own custom-designed template using WPDM Template editor ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/creating-a-new-template/ ). Please let me know which design you want, just send me the demo link. I will let you know what template we are using there.
To control the everything on the details page you can create a core level template single-wpdmpro.php But most users don’t want that. They just use the template editor to create a custom view when built-in templates don’t meet their design requirements. Here is a detailed blog post about custom template https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/building-a-wordpress-download-manager-link-template-from-scratch/
Are downloads by direct link counted?
Thanks a lot
Hello, I’ve contacted support via email, but I’m not getting an answer, so I’m trying this way instead.
I’ve purchased the Email Lock add-on for Download Manager back in April/May and you helped me with an issue we had with the form not displaying after the first time you submitted it.
After your help, everything went great, and we pushed the site live around June. And it was working just fine until now. We had made an update to WordPress core version and Download Manager (and other plugins in the site) back at the end of November. We updated to WP 4.9.9, and Download Manager to 2.9.84 (from 2.9.71). Email lock add-on did not need any updates (we used to have a custom version that you had given us for it). It seems something got broken with the setup, because our client has contacted saying that he’s getting the Contact Form 7 notification emails sent to the admin user whenever someone downloads a file, but the users are not getting the emails with the files links.
I’ve checked the code, and backend setup, but I could not find anything wrong. Maybe there is an issue between the add-on and the latest version of Download Manager, or between the add-on and WP 4.9.9. I’m afraid we will need some help from you again.
If you want to see the live site, it is located at waypointgroup.org, and here is a downloadable file that displays the form: https://waypointgroup.org/whitepapers/finding-a-voc-solution-thats-just-right/
We had to modify the Form Lock setting for each downloadable file so it would display a link to the file inline instead of sending it via email because we did not get an answer from Support for two weeks.
I had sent support (via email) username and password to login to the site, but they keep telling me that the username and password I have sent does not give admin access. When I login using it, I get access to everything, so not sure what is wrong about it. But I don’t see much help coming from the team so far.
Thank you.
