Top Downloads widget sort downloads by the download count. You can change the link template from widget settings. But it is not possible to change the sort order from settings.
Do you want to sort the downloads by ascending order? In that case, just change the order value from /download-manager/widgets/class.TopDownloads.php file ( line 17 ). Change 'order'►'desc' to 'order'►'asc'
You can change the sender address from email template settings. Please go to Downloads Templates Email Template page. Then click the edit link of the template you want to update the address of. The address input is located at the bottom and labeled
From Email.
Need a little CSS help (or something….).
In WP editor (plain text) I have the following very simple line:
Download the course's table of contents: [wpdm_package id='758' template="5bc12debe15b2"]
The custom link template being referenced is quite simple, as well:
<a href="[page_url]" data-title="[title]" class="wpdm-popup-link" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#wpdm-popup-link">[title]</a>
When this gets translated into HTML/CSS, it has the text and the download link on separate lines. Here’s how it looks in HTML:
<p>Download the course’s table of contents: </p>
<div class="w3eden">
<a href="http://dev.nrocnetwork.org/resources/downloads/overview-nroc-developmental-math/" data-title="Overview - NROC Developmental Math" class="wpdm-popup-link" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#wpdm-popup-link" data-wpel-link="internal">Overview - NROC Developmental Math</a>
</div>
Screenshot attached, or you can see it on this (ugly, messy) sandbox page, just below the video: http://dev.nrocnetwork.org/resources/courses/nroc-math/nroc-math-pre-assessment/
I think the problem is the w3eden div, which isn’t coming from anything I did. Can you tell me how to get this to NOT drop down to the next line? I want the link URL to read as part of the sentence or paragraph that I put it in.
Thanks!
Hi, this is useful, but I want to use this idea in a Toolset View Loop to give a direct download link, so the ID is a variable. What field do I need to use (e.g. wpv-post-url) please?

Hi,
You can use the Archive Page shortcode to show your downloads on the Homepage. You can choose any view you want using link template. Which template are you using in your category page? Use the same template in archive shortcode.
If you have any confusion about the shortcode, please install TinyMCE add-on. It has a visual interface to insert shortcodes.
If you need further assistance, send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply.
Thanks.
Ok, I realize that my last fear was correct: After finally finding the installation instructions and explicitly reading the message to first remove the free version I did as I was told – and finally managed to install the thing – including key, activation and all.
Only the promise that nothing would be damaged was not really true: I have “categories” for my files, and these are still there. Then I had download pages supposed to show the files by category – and this was not any more true: all download pages were empty! The files are physically still in place, but not any more linked for download from my site, so the statement that I am not going to lose my data is so far correct.
I saw then that there was some “missing widget”: wpdm_catpacks… that was obviously the thing that should do the trick of displaying the packages. I removed it and added instead the “WPDM Categories” widget that looks like the “Pro” version of the old one.
Only the problem is that I still cannot see my categorized download packages as before! There may be some tricky options somewhere that I still need to change!??
Ah well, that’s it: I do not need “WPDM Categories”, but rather “WPDM Packages by Category”! That brings it back indeed.
Only thing that is still a bit disappointing: I read that upload limits on file size would now be gone with Pro – but I still see that if I want to add some download items, files of more than 16MB cannot be uploaded directly: I need to use the “plesk panel” of my provider, put the files somewhere in a folder, and then “browse” to get them attached to a package – just like it was also with the Free version…

I have Pro and created a Link Template and selected that with the package I have created. I now just want to have a link in my blog to trigger the sign up for the package. How do I use a URL rather than a short code?
I’m setting up a new file repostiory. I have categories and packages, packages have files associated. When I click to view a package there is no link to the attached files. This is the second sit http://dev.cartertesting.com/craigschool-v2/download/annual-fund-brochure/e I’ve set up using Downloadmanager it has to be something dumb I’m not doing (or am doing). http://dev.cartertesting.com/craigschool-v2/download/annual-fund-brochure/
Good Morning,
We are having a problem with the plugin. For a few days you’re experiencing an error when we try to download a password-restricted link.
Can you help us?
Look at the error
Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. I have created a new link template for you. see here: http://anviz.com.sg/all-downloads-2/
Please check if this is what you want.
Also, you can check other link template and create your own link template from here Downloads>Templates>Link Templates.
Thank you!
Hi,
Yes, you can change the link template in the accordion. Just use the template parameter in your accordion shortcode and set the value of the link template you want to use. Here is a sample shortcode,
[wpdm-accordion cats="cat,dog" cat_style="default" subcat_style="success" template="link-template-calltoaction2" orderby="title" order="asc"]
You can clone the link template you want to use from Downloads Templates page. Replace the [page_link] template tag with [title] to remove the details page link from link template.
Thanks.
Hello,
how could I change link template in accordion for instance of the package “AHORN-GRANULAT” (image attached) which is in a subcategory.
Tried to set link template in settings of package, but no changes were seen.
I would like to have no link to separate download-page. Want just direkt download.
Thank you! regards Adrian

Hi,
You can limit the number of downloads allowed for each generated download link from a locked package. Please find the Private Download Links Usage Limit option in Settings Basic File Download Panel and set it to 1. That should prevent further downloads using the generated links.
Send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply if that doesn’t work.
Thanks.
I’ve done a little more digging in the forum, and saw this link: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/using-upload_mimes-to-allow-upload-and-download-of-unrecognized-mime-type/. We have a different plugin that supports the extra file types, “extra file types”. But the file I’m downloading is a zip file, so it’s a standard, supported file type. So, little stumped.
My WP site has its own accounts, groups, etc & requires users to sign in. In the package settings, I use a group in the “allow access field”. I cannot setup locks, such as using a password.
Unfortunately, after someone downloads a file, it is showing a link in the backend that would allow anyone with the link to download the file, even if they haven’t authenticated to the site. The link only appears after the file as been download and is contained in a warning message:
Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/zip: “https://customer.verodin.com/wp-content/uploads/<file name>?rs_file_key=16992570955bb400f349186671353660”.
I’ve verified the part of the link that allows anyone to download is the rs_file_key at the end.
How do I prevent the warning message completely or have the key not be displayed?
HI,
You can control the download page view using Page Template. There are lots of built-in page template and you can build your own custom template if you want. Check available page template in Dashboard Downloads Templates page. When creating or editing a package select the page template from package settings meta box.
Looks like you haven’t setup access roles on package settings. Please check the Allow Access option in your package settings and set necessary user roles there. If you want everyone to have access to the package then set All Visitors as value.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Thanks.

Hi,
Check your link. The speed seems pretty normal like most other WordPress sites.
Download Manager handles many data-heavy operations which adds a little more load on your server as any other similar plugin would do. But that does not have any noticeable effect on site speed. And if you use a cache plugin, all WPDM pages are loaded through the cache and does not add any server load. It just serves cached page without any server calculation.
Best regards.
After a user enters their email, I want to change the “Download link sent to your email” message to “Download link sent to your email. Check your spam folder if it does not arrive within 1-2 minutes.”

Hi,
I have installed Download Manager Pro and Archive Add-on. I can’t set up more then 10 items per page on archive page. I am using shortcode:
[wpdm-archive items_per_page=”40″ button_style=”default” link_template=”link-template-panel” category=”pracownicy” order_by=”field-name” order=”asc|desc”] , but I see only 10 items per page.
Please help me with this issue.
Best Regards ,

Please advise.
