DISCARD THIS MESSAGE I ALREADY FOUND OUT HOW TO FIX IT IN SETTINGS.
Hello there
We have changed our site’s login URL in WordPress and now all protected downloads show the old login page when an unregistered user attempts to download a protected file.
How do I make the plugin update the download link to show the new login URL in WordPress?
Thanks in advance.
I am using the Email lock option. When the site visitor gets the email with the download link, it appears as the package permalink, with the wpdmdl and _wpdmkey tacked on. Okay, that’s fine.
However, if the visitor copies that link, and then uses wget on the command line, the file saved is NOT the Link Label, or the permalink, but instead ‘index.html?wpdmdl=xxx&_wpdmkey=xxx….’
How can this be fixed? My site visitors are cli users, and do want to use wget and the like.
Ideally, I would like the saved filename to be the Link Label, as defined in the Package Settings.
Thanks,
Scott
@inks, Sorry about that. Please try now. It should work this time.

Thank you for your answer, but it is not working.
I want to put a link to the shortcode “[wpdm_frontend]” and I put the code below to the function.php of the theme.
The result you can show on the image attached.
So the wpdm_frontend is opening in a frame of the dashboard, but I can not run the correct link if I click to the second time to “Add new”.
Can you help me to connect the “add new” button to the first button?
Best regards
Fatmir

You can use this add-on https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/lazy-download-add-on/ to redirect the user to a predefined page when they click on download link and start download from the page.

Please try the following method,
1 ) Clone the Single Column with Doc Preview template from Downloads Templates Page Templates.
2 ) Find [download_link_extended] and replace it with <a target="_blank" href="[download_url]">[link_label]</a>
3 ) Set this new template in package settings.
Use a link template that shows the download button. You can try Call To Action 3. Actually, all link template has the download button not sure which one you are using. You can send me the shortcode page link to check.
Please use TinyMCE add-on ( http://wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-tinymce-button/ ) to insert shortcode easily.
You could solve that one easy – did that just today – just use a template and change it a little bit: check out which template you’re using (or select one via shortcode). On the template page, create a copy of that template and edit it. I use “link-template-widget” which has the exact thing you describe: I click on the link and it redirects to the details page, but I want a direct download.
To change that, just change every [page_url] in the code to an [download_url] and save.
Then use the new shortcode for the copied template to use it. And tadaaa: you have a direct download again 🙂
Have fun
I use to have WPDM FREE version, so i use to add file – go to all file – copy short code – add it into my page – the download is displayed in a nice way and when users click it – the download start directly .
Moved to pro version, doing the same steps as before but when my users click the link their are being redireted to another page in order to start the download.
Need to stop that and make it easy like the free version, the download should start directly.
Thanks in advance for your help.
For a PDF package in which I have no Link Template and the Page Template is Single Column with Doc Preview, when the Download link is clicked, is there a way to have the rendered preview appear in a new window?

Setting up guest order page is pretty simple. Create a page and place this shortcode there [wpdmpp_guest_orders]
To add this guest order page URL in your purchase confirmation email you have to edit the purchase-confirmation template from Downloads Templates Email Template page. Replace the [#order_url#] with the guest order page link and that’s it.
You can hide the download count using a custom page template. Just clone ( Downloads Templates Page Templates ) the current page template you are using now. And remove the [download_count] tag from there and save the template.
Now you can set this as you page template from package settings. If you need more info in custom templates please check the following links,

Thanks Eftekher, that is not the email I was meaning. There is no problem with the Paypal transaction – it gets charged and both me and the customer get notified by Paypal.
However customers are telling me that they are not able to access the URL to download the file they just paid for. At first I thought they were not receiving the email with the link but I have just found out that they are. The problem is that my guest purchases page was not set up properly so the customers are unable to access the download link or register. For now I have turned off guest checkout and guest download.
Is there a document that explains how to set up the guest purchases page?
Hello,
I don’t want to show the download count on my post but I can’t find the option to remove it. I’m talking about the page that shows on links like these: http://www.mydomain.com/download/filetodownload
I don’t want to visitors to see how many times it’s been downloaded.
Hi,
Please add this in your shortcode: cols="page_link,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date|download_link"
Example:
[wpdm-all-packages items_per_page="10" cols="page_link,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date|download_link" categories="product-rubber-black" jstable=1 order="ASC"]
Thank you.
Hello,
Now that the Polylang plugin is disabled, the table is displaying fine by using the following shortcode:
[wpdm-all-packages items_per_page=”10″ categories=”product-rubber-black” jstable=1 order=”ASC”]
But, earlier each item in the table was hyperlinked to the individual download page. Which means each item could be clicked to open a download page for that particular package/item. But now the hyperlinks are gone. The individual package/item pages can not be accessed.
Please refer to the attached image.
Thanks.

Hi,
1. Please update your Download Manager plugin. Then go to Downloads>Settings>Frontend
and select login and registration page. (Screenshot: https://prnt.sc/jud9cg )

3. You can renew the license by clicking “Renew Now” button from your orders.
(Screenshot: https://prnt.sc/jud751 )
4. Please update your Download Manager plugin.
Thank you.
Hi,
This is a php code, you should implement the code in a php file where you are performing your Download now option.
You cannot use this code in a javascript code .
If you are using download link of Download Manager you don’t have to implement it separately , Download Manager by default implements it.
Thank you.
