Please kindly visit template=”fresh_card”
fresh_card template from Download > Templates
section, and just remove [download_link]
template tag and save it, thus you shall be able to hide the download button. Please kindly check and let me know.
Thank you and regards

Thank you and regards
you can see page here – I am having problems styling and display/template options.
Bamboo Bulletin Downloads
The first list section uses Breakdance to display posts from Download manager but it does not find the custom fields within the component -I would like to insert file size and the file link for logged in users with permissions and Subscribe or login to access as a notice for non logged in users or those without permission (role)
Further down you can see category shortcode display from Download manager which I am finding much harder to style/customise and display nicely without using blocks
SHORTCODE:
[wpdm_category id="bamboo-bulletin" operator="IN" title="Custom Title Here or 1" desc="" toolbar="0" paging="1" orderby="field name" order="asc or desc" items_per_page="30" template="bamboo_bulletin_card_links" cols=3 colspad=2 colsphone=1 async=1]

Hi,
I’m having an issue where when I embed a post into a download page, it embeds in the editor but then shows a non-linked URL only.
You can see what I mean by looking at this link:
https://techygeekshome.info/wpdm-package/windows-lock-screen-changer/

You can see the links, but not embedded. Embeds on all my normal posts work fine.
Any ideas?
Hi there,
When an admin-user tries to change his password via lost-password-link the message ‘Password update is disabled for this user!’ is shown.
I see this behavior in the file wp-content/plugins/download-manager/src/User/Login.php but I don’t know why only users NOT having the “manage_options”-right should be able to change their passwords.
Thanks for any advice 🙂
Chris
If you have already developed a shortcode or template tag, you can also try in the template PHP file like this,
<?php echo do_shortcode('[wpdm_url_ae]');?>
You can edit/create a new template from download-manager\src\Package\views\link-templates
or download-manager\src\Package\views\page-templates
dir. For making backup your file you may follow this doc,
Template Files
Please kindly check and let me know.
Thank you and regards
We are running WP Download manager on our NFPs WordPress site. We have enabled the Frontend upload function so our members can share content with other members. This is all working except the ability to share a URL link. The ‘URL’ tab in the ‘Attach Files’ section is unresponsive.
We have done basic trouble shooting, including:
1. Checked Plugin Settings: It seems the Frontend Access settings are correctly configured.
2. Updated Plugins and Themes: WP Download Manager and all other plugins and themes were updated.
3. Disabled Conflicting Plugins: All other plugins were temporarily disabled to see if there is a conflict.
4. Checked Browser Console for Errors: We opened our browser’s developer console and saw no JavaScript errors.
5. Clear Cache: We cleared our browser cache.
Our next step was to delete and reinstall WP Download Manager but I thought we should check with yourselves first. Any suggestions?

We are in the process of launching a site using Download Manager and Private Messages, and have encountered a huge blocker.
To recreate the issue, perform the following steps . . .
When you click Messages, you get this:
This page doesn’t seem to exist.
It looks like the link pointing here was faulty. Maybe try searching?
I’ve tried changing the configuration, creating a new user (only Soundtracks Manager roles have this experience), but nothing is working.
The client is upset, because we were supposed to launch this week.
Could you assist?

The plugin code is showing wrapped around a non-functional Download button.
Here is a screenshot of the code that shows after a successful form submittal:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yZnhQIiNWsOoXb6e-dHaDoUU-3gsXdNs/view?usp=sharing
If the user refreshes the page, the code works. Perhaps an auto-refresh on form submit would be a possible fix?
Below is the code in question which appears several times in the wpdm-form-lock.php file.
<hr style=’margin: 0 0 10px 0’/><i class=’fa fa-downlaod’></i> ” . $link_label . “”
Notice there is also a typo in your code ‘fa-downlaod’ that you will want to correct.
Hello Ben Walker,
Hope you are well. Thanks for writing to us. If you check documentation here, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-directory-add-on/, you will find shortcode has template
parameter,
[wpdm_archive_filter items_per_page="12" template="link-template-default" cols=1 colspad=1 colsphone=1]
You can customize the link template and use it according to your requirement. Please kindly check and let me know.
Thank you and regards
Hi,
Loving the design of the [wpdm_archive_filter items_per_page=”9″ template=”fresh_card” cols=3]
Is it possible to keep the same design and just remove the download button? so instead users have to click on the file/link to get to the download button?
Is there any way to change the default settings for this?
Generate Temporary Download Link
I want it to default to Usage Limit = 10 / Expires Days = 60
Thank you for your help.
Hello,

Any help?
Thanks
If anyone copy the download URL and share it with others, then it can happen otherwise, the package will require a login to access the download link. I hope you have understood. Please kindly check.
Thank you and regards

Nayeem,
Thank you for the quick response!
I did watched the video and check all the documentation, but I still can’t fix.
Here is the problem I have:
When I first download Download Manager, I used the free version, didn’t do any configuration, then download the addon to transfer files from WP-Filebase, the file link template was set to Panel,then I go to Settings – Frontend access, set the file template to Call to action 3, and saved.
But this setting didn’t change the template on the front end, you can see only the file that I manually set to Call to Action 3 template display the right format from this page: https://www.linortek.com/downloads/documentations/
