Please install the Advanced TinyMCE add-on. This add-on provides an easy to use a graphical user interface to insert various shortcodes including the ones you need.
How did you create your custom link templates? If you have put those files inside the Download Manager plugin dir files will be gone after deleting the plugin. If you have put those in theme dir I can safely delete the plugin to test old version.
Are you testing this in an unlocked package? Open downloads are always open, you do not need a temporary link for that. Expirable links are for locked packages. This link bypasses the lock and expires after passing usage limit or usage period.
I have had over 100 readers email me to let me know when they are using Internet Explorer and click the link to download, nothing happens. I have tested and have the same problem. Please advise a solution.
Unfortunately when I generate a link with usage limit “1” and expiration date “5 Minutes”, it will not affect at all. I can still download the file after 20 Minutes as much as I want by this generated link.
You have to create the /download-manager/ directory/folder inside your active theme dir. Please send FTP info and wp-admin login info in private reply if need help with that.
Btw, I missed one thing in my previous reply. You can replace the title with page_link in your shortcode add a link in download title.
If adding the link enough you don’t have to edit the template file. The custom template file is required only if you want to add the download link with the title.
Add the following message in Settings Basic Message Login Required Message option and set Hide Everything in Settings Basic Access Settings When user is not allowed to download:
Login is required to access this page
After setting these options, You will see a login link in packages where a user must log in to access the package.
Make sure to replace the basesiteurl in the message with your site URL.
Are you searching from Archive Add-on Search option or is it your regular site search? Although both shows the package in my test. You can try setting the access setting to ‘Only Block Download links’
I must be missing something but I cannot see what so I thought I would ask.
I am using DownloadManager Pro, I have a Download setup and have created a sales page and on it I want a nice green button which says something like ‘Continue To Checkout Options’ as a single line of text on it, I will put my own text above and image below it, what I do not want is for the the price of the product to be displayed, when that button is clicked it goes to the cart page to checkout with the item placed into the cart and on the cart page the product price is displayed which is what I want there.
I have a button working as I want but the problem is the product price displayed on the sales page next to the button, and all the buttons I can find seem to use the [download_link] short code which displays the price next to the button, another button I found had the price in the button text which was still no good.
Is there some way to achieve this, a download button with no price displayed on it or near it.
Just checked the package link. Looks like you have sorted out the issue. Most probably your allow access settings field was empty or the user you were testing with didn’t have the access.
This requires a custom solution. Download Manager can replace the download link with a login button. But it doesn’t work the exact way you explained above.
It was a changed to serve direct download instead browser preview. But it seems the direct link generates temporary download link and has an expiration period. So, we will switch back tot he preview. Releasing update asap.
My WordPress says I have an update pending for your plugin. (4.7.7 to 4.7.8)
But when I update it gives an error. So I tried updating manually through FTP. I downloaded the installationfiles from my account here (https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/?udb_page=purchases) and upload it trough FTP but then I get version 2.9.82??
How do I get the 4.7.8? Where can i download it manually? Can you link the latest update to this account?
Of email it to: Bas.smits@pixelbits.nl?
Looking through the templates and code, when using the iframe lock the download link looks like this <a download="A1Marketreminders" class="wpdm-download-link __wpdm_download_btn__" rel="nofollow" href="#" onclick="this.href='https://mysite.com/user-submitted-apps-download/a1marketreminders/?wpdmdl=14012&refresh=5bdb5b8acdb5d1541102474';" target="_blank">Download</a>
There is the download attribute with a value, but it isn’t respected due to the on click being used to download the file, not the href.
With this setup, when you download the file you get the name of the zip itself, which in my case is a string IE “39421543498775.zip” instead of the name of the product itself in this case ‘A1Marketreminders’. This is causing issues for our users who want to know what they are downloading and see the .zip file reflect the name of the product. I have over 700 zip files that were created by another process and labeled with a unix time stamp – nothing I can do about that. How do I change the name of the file without being able to use the download attribute?
You can replace the title in cols with page_link to link the details page with the title. But template customization is required to add the download link in the title.
You have to copy the /download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php file and place it in the /active-theme/download-manager/ directory.
Then replace echo "<strong>".get_the_title()."</strong><br/>"; with
echo "<a href='".\WPDM\Package::getDownloadURL($data['ID'])."'><strong>".get_the_title()."</strong></a><br/>"; in the new template.
Hi mate. I downloaded it from below. Still says 1.2.0 although when you download its 1.2.2. If you have a look at the wpdm-dropbox.php it still says linkType: “direct”
I have tested both versions of Dropbox add-on. Worked fine without any issue. Could you please send me your package link to check the download? If it is possible, send temporary wp-admin login info too in private reply.
I tested with the email download link option too. That also worked fine as it did on your test. It is tough to solve an issue that I can’t reproduce. But the good thing is you are using instant download now, so I hope that solves the issue for those random users who faced the link expired error.
