The customer doesn’t have to create an account if you enable guest download. If you have to create a page with [wpdmpp_guest_orders] shortcode to serve guest download. Then set this page as Guest Order Page in Premium Package settings.
The customer will see a guest order page link under the login form. So, both options are open. He/she can either log in or go to the guest order page for instant download.
I am using guest checkout method. But for some reasons the 2CO is not redirecting the user back to “guest download” page. Instead, it is redirecting the user to “Purchases” page. And yes, i have inserted the return URL in 2CO settings. Please check the screenshots. I have tried the both “header redirect” and “Given links back to my website” method and both are redirecting the user back to “Purchases” page.
Moreover, there is an error with “Test” sale setting. I have selected the “Perameter” option in 2CO settings and have set the plugin to “Test” mode but upon placing a demo sale, it shows the error code…. Please check the screenshot.
My current setup:
1. WP Download Manager FREE Version + Lazy Download Addon Enabled.
2. Created a dummy page to display ADS and CountDown.
Problem :
When the addon is enabled and the download link is clicked, In Mobile app which is build recently for my website, it downloads the wrong package than intended. This only happens when the lazy download addon is enabled. And it works fine in other browsers example chrome. In Mobile app, wrong file is getting downloaded. I’ve attached the app below:
After installing open the app and In the menu, subject notes > click on any subject > click on download link > download button > File is getting downloaded(but wrong file)
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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,
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
