I’ve got a site where the flat archive shortcode is not working – I’ve tested plugin/theme issues by changing to the 2024 WordPress theme & disabling all the plugins except the WP Download plugin.
Here’s a link to a test page I’ve got running (currently still the 2024 theme & no additional plugins)
Here is the shortcode that I need working:
[wpdm_archive_flat category=”soff-newsletters” include_children=1 order_by=”post_title” order=”desc” items_per_page=”999″]
This shortcode is from another site that has a simpler category structure — it is working perfectly (https://savethewhiskers.org/resources/) — if you look at my test page, you’ll see it is one of the shortcodes that is not working.
[wpdm_archive_flat order_by=”post_title” order=”asc” items_per_page=”999″]
I place links to package documents on my site using the Download Manager short codes. Each package contains only a single PDF. I want a link template that points directly to the PDF on the server, e.g. the link should be “…/myurl/wp-content/uploads/download-manager-files/mypackagedocument.pdf”. Instead, the link is the Download Manager short code, e.g. “…/myurl?wpdmdl=16123&ind=17150293486941”, and each time the link is accessed a new url is created with a unique ?refresh parameter added. Can I easily create a template (or does one exist) that would allow me to link directly to the PDF on the server?
We use the RSS feed facility of Download Manager for several of our sites. The current reader is based in ColdFusion, and works just fine, but we’re moving to a WordPress-based reader (Feedzy), and this sees the Download Manager feed as invalid. The error is:
Sorry, some part of this feed is currently unavailable or does not exist anymore. The detailed error is
https://sites.clarku.edu/business-docs/downloads/payroll-forms/feed/ is invalid XML, likely due to invalid characters.
XML error: EntityRef: expecting ‘;’ at line 188, column 288
Testing with https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi throws the error “Self reference doesn’t match document location“, and highlights the offending line:
<atom:link href="https://sites.clarku.edu/business-docs/downloads/payroll-forms/feed/" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />
We’re on the latest version of Download Manager Pro (6.5.3), and our WordPress version is 6.5.3. Is there any way to fix this?

HI,
Can you advise on how we can disable the singular and page link from the shortcode: [wpdm_all_packages]
I’ve found the code:
case ‘page_link’:
//echo “” . get_the_title() . “<br/>”;
echo “<span class=\”package-title\”>” . get_the_title() . “</span><br/>”;
break;
Which is on line: 345-348 in the file: /download-manager/src/Package/views/all-packages-shortcode.php
But i don’t like to modify plugin files as these will get updated over time and re-introduce the link.
Can you advise on the best way to do this please?
Hello everyone,
I need to implement the following and have thought of the Download Manager (free or paid version): A user can register for software downloads. To do this, he enters his data and selects one (or more) defined devices via a drop-down menu. By selecting the devices, the user is then only offered downloads that match the selected devices. User selects device A and only receives downloads for device A. User selects device B and only receives downloads for device B.
I have already added the drop-down field to the registration form (selection of one device). I have also already managed to transfer different WordPress roles to the user depending on the value of the drop-down field.
Now I want to transfer the registered user to “Select Members” in the Download Manager in the next step. However, I believe that the programmed solution is not the right way. Therefore, I would also purchase the Advanced Access Control plugin, but first I have to make sure that I can implement my plan with it. To summarise: The download per user is linked to the selection from the dropdown. Depending on the selection, only certain downloads are offered 🙂
Many thanks for your support,
Andreas
We are getting an “Invalid License Key” Message in WordPress Admin Backend -> WPDownloads -> Settings -> License when we copy/paste the license code from the invoice on the wpdownloadmanager.com website.
Things I have tried
– Rekeying.
– logging out and back into the WordPress admin backend again
– Typing the code in directly
– Copy and pasting the code
– Updating the Plugin from the download link on the invoice page (Confirmed the update took.)
Help?

How to create a download page template that loads without the theme header? I have the download pages set to load within Woocommerce dashboard and when the link to the download package opens within the user dashboard it loads the header and menu again. How to disable that?
THanks.
