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.
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
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.
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?
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.’
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']
Download Manager has the option to replace the download button with the login page link when a user is not logged in. You can customize this login button from Settings Basic Messages Login Required Message: option. Are you trying to do that?
Or just want to redirect all guest users to the login page from any page in general? Add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file if this is the case. Before adding the code create the login page with WPDM login shortcode [wpdm_login_form logo="your_logo_url"] and set this page as Login Page in Settings Frontend Login Page option.
Here is a sample accordion shortcode, [wpdm-accordion cats=”catid,” cat_style=”default” subcat_style=”success” template=”link-template-calltoaction2″ orderby=”title” order=”asc”]
Users can visit the download page to download the file.
It is possible to add the main download button by doing the following customization but it is not guaranteed that it will work. Add the code at line 227 in /tpls/wpdm-add-new-file-front.php template. ( Make a template file like the previous template file )
The “Register now” page link is coming from the Custom Link Template. Your plain download links have to be replaced by WPDM Shortcodes. Otherwise, you can’t add the “Register Now” link.
Actually, as you have to replace all the links, Default Values add-on won’t be much help. This add-on can bulk update any package settings. So, I thought using this you could change the link template of all packages in a single click. But changing the link template in pacakge settings doesn’t have any effect on your plain links. It would have been a great solution if you used shortcodes to show downloads.
Latest WPDM is using the latest Font Awesome, so the issue may be arisen from there. However, I have to check your installation to be certain about the origin.
Create a new support ticket to discuss this issue further. And send me the shortcode you are using there. Maybe you are using the wrong parameters. For example the following shortcode will display downloads in 3 columns,
but i can’t understand why i need to add an add on to bulk change the default value and i can’t use the simple download link i have already created for all my 1200 link…
webpage link is: https://www.l-mobile.com Yes we used a custom template for downloads and archive page. How is it possible to create a custom archive page template? We tried to overwrite existing css but as we have problems to find right classes to customise behaviour of category overview.
1. If files are added as URL ( from local server or remote file ), zip download will not work, as php can’t create zip file from urls.
2. No such option for now, but noted for implementation.
3. You can do that by editing that link/page template. Doc: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/
Please give me temporary wp-admin login info in a private reply if you want me to check those in details.
Now, your forum posting should work fine, but if you face issue again in forum, please mail to support@wpdownloadmanager.com
I have several items I need help with, probably easy for you pros, but i’m unable to figure them out:
1) Users downloading from their cart get a 15 byte zip file regardless of the number of items in the cart. if they download individually or a complete package it works fine
2) I need to be able to display the file size and / or the file title in the cart vs. the file name – can this be done and if so how?
3) I need to modify the template i created for the package list to do the following:
a) the package title needs to be underlined in red to match the rest of the titles on the site
b) i need to remove the “related downloads” links at the bottom of the pages
thank you!

PS: I’ve been trying to post this for a couple of weeks, in firefox, if this works, it’s in safari… I wonder why?
Are you using a custom template? Built-in templates shouldn’t create any layout issue. Please send me page link to check the pagination issue, I can suggest custom CSS to hide the pagination numbers and only show next/previous buttons in mobile.
Directory add-on default view has changed in the latest version. The old view ( categories above downloads ) is not available anymore. But it is possible to use that view using a custom template.
Sorry, the option is actually “Login Required Message:” Actually, It was there before but your theme is hiding the .panel class, that’s why the login button was hidden. I have removed the div with .panel class and updated the “Login Required Message:” option. Now the login button is visible.
Currently login button is linked to the default WP login page. If you want you can create a page with [wpdm_login_form logo="your_logo_url"] shortcode to use the WPDM login form. Then set that page as login page in Settings Frontend Access Login Page option.
