Hi there,
I’m really happy with this plugin, however am facing a small issue with my site that is set up using WooCommerce Memberships. If a membership is assigned to see the download page, the link works fine. However for any membership levels not assigned to view the download page, the page just times out without redirecting to the generic ‘content restricted’ page. Just wondering if there’s a way around this?
Cheers
1. I am now getting an error when trying to download the files via the link on the recipients email. if opening the email on a browser, then I get a ‘link-expired.txt’ file (Download link is expired. Please get new download link.)
2. please let me know the full address for the ‘active-theme/d-m folder as I can’t find it.
Hey, so is this available now?
How can I download the updates? I am getting emails, the link redirects me to my website but I can not update the plugin…
Hi,
I am currently setting up a download section on a website and would like to use the Archive Page with Sidebar (from the directory addon). This layout has a button ‘View Details’ which loads the file details. I would like to change this button to a Download button which downloads the file directly, is this possible?
Thanks.
Hello
here is the links:
https://www.lanshino.ru – main page, WPDM widget on the right side with three last files – no icons
https://www.lanshino.ru/2018/07/01/obshhee-sobranie-chlenov-snt/#more-2408 – two separate files embeded with shortcodes for each file – no icons
https://www.lanshino.ru/docs/ – all files are correctly displayed with icons. embeded with shortcode [wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="50" jstable=1 order_by="date" order="DESC" cols="page_link,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Update Date|Download"] This is so long because [wpdm_all_packages] after some of latest updates not shows clickable file names (with links to file details)
Sorry I don’t sent you login and pass because I think you will don’t understand Russian interface
Hi,
You modified the link and page template files inside the plugin dir in your old version to create a custom look. But when you updated plugin you mods were not available anymore. That’s why the view changed after plugin update.
The correct way of adding a custom look is using a custom link and page template. I have created a link and a page template with the same code you used to modify the default templates in the old version. Both are named Default Template Mod. You can read more about creating custom templates here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/building-a-wordpress-download-manager-link-template-from-scratch/
I have updated the link template in widgets to match the previous style. But you have to update each of your packages after setting the new page template ( Default Template Mod ) from package settings. I updated this one https://sandboxwp2.ninjatraderecosystem.com/user-submitted-apps-download/alligator/
Now that we are using custom link and page template your views won’t be lost again after plugin update.
Thanks.
Thank you for this information. “post_content” is showing nothing on my page unfortunately. And I do have something written in the main textbox in the backend.
I’m using the following:
[wpdm_all_packages order_by="update_date" order="DESC" colheads="Title|Description|Size|" cols="title|post_content|package_size|download_link"]
Any idea why this would show up blank? I just updated the plugin, but it didn’t solve the issue.
Hi again,
I solved the invalid redirect url error by authorizin the URL shown on the share link after I click on the inshare button.
Now I have a bigger problem.
When people click on shared link from Linkedin, the download link on the package page does not work. It does not show “share us on linkedin popup”.
How can I solve this problem?

Please refer to the attached screenshot for more information.
Thank you.

Please explain how I install it? I have downloaded it via the link you provided (on my Apple MacBook). What downloaded is a file called wpdm-box-com.php containing some code. I don’t know what to do with this code in order to install the add-on.
Hi David,
Download Manager cache dir stores the resized thumbnail ( featured image ) previews. These resized previews are created when requested by a link or page template with a defined size.
When a resized preview exists in cache dir WPDM reuses it instead of creating it again which makes the site run faster. If you clear the cache dir all previews will be deleted and previews will be created based on requests.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other question.
Thanks.
How do I setup download manger pro so it looks like and behaves like the free version in terms of frontend layout and function:
– layout frontend downloadLinks should look like default layout on free version
– direct file download on click without having to go to a separate download page to download the files
Thanks
Three things on this,
1. The typed ‘message’ does not show up on the recipients email.
2. The download link image emailed seems to be one I have no control over? Would like to change this.
3. The company logo does not show up on the recipient’s email. I have the logo’s file as part of my ‘media’ files and indicated the url of it on the ’email templates’ settings.
Download Manager Custom link and page templates are saved in the database ( options table ) when you are creating the templates from Downloads Templates page.
So templates can be lost only if the _fm_link_templates
and _fm_page_templates
options are erased. There is no possibility of this happening without manually deleting all custom templates from Downloads Templates page.
Are your staging and live site identical? I mean did you copy the live site from staging? In that case, you can copy the options from the staging site to bring back custom templates.
How many custom templates did you have? If you have custom templates ID and code it is possible to restore those by editing database. But requires some time to re-create the format.
Please add the following CSS in your theme’s custom CSS option or at the bottom of theme’s style.css file,
.w3eden a { color: #0d23e5; }
This should match the download link color with your usual link color.

Hi,
You are using the Free version of Download Manager there. The free version has limited number of templates. It doesn’t have the link-template-panel-1-3
link template. If you purchased the Pro version of plugin please install it to render the Panel template.
Thanks.
Please send me the URL to check. I will suggest required CSS that you can add to change download link color. You can also use Image Button add-on to show beautiful download buttons instead of just links.
Hi Andrew,
PHP is not supported in link/page template. But you don’t need PHP for what you are trying to do. You can hide a custom field when it is empty by adding [hide_empty:template_tag]
as a CSS class in wrapping node.
For example,
<tr class="[hide_empty:acf_DownloadFields_title]"><td>ACF Download Fields Title</td><td>[acf_DownloadFields_title]</td></tr>
This table row will be hidden if [acf_DownloadFields_title]
value is empty.
Let me know if you any question.
Thanks.
I am using the Divi Template and I changed the theme link color, but the download links are still using the old color. I can’t seem to find a place to change this. Can you help? (I did look through the documentation and the website and was unable to find this information). There must be a way to style links. Do I have to put the html for font color in the actual template? if so, that is kind of gross as I should be able to change the link color in a theme and have all links get updated.

I am new to WordPress and Download Manager. I am creating a link template using custom fields that I want to show up in the template only if the field is not empty. Is there an easy way to do this? I looked through the site and I couldn’t find any examples but it does appear that php is useable, but I can’t seem to get it to work. Can you help?
Here is what I tried:
<?php
if(!empty($[acf_DownloadFields_source]) {$var=”[acf_DownloadFields_title]” . “, [acf_DownloadFields_source]”;}
else {$var=”[acf_DownloadFields_title]”};
if(!empty($[acf_DownloadFields_doc-date]) {$var .= “([acf_DownloadFields_doc-date])”
?>
%%a href=”[download_url]”%%$var%%/a%%
(In the last line, I substituted < and > with %% so the text does not resolve into an actual link)
php is obviously not my language of choice, but I am pretty sure I got the syntax right.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I have removed the old [wpdm_package_id]
input and added a new hidden field with the same default value. Also applied the embedded form ( Used a page template with [download_link_extended]
). Now lock is working.
Thanks.
