Hi,
You can use link template (package details button) with the package shortcode to show your downloads on a page. Then the user can click on the details button to get into the single package page and download. Or
You can use Lazy Download, which offers you to redirect download to a different page and user needs to wait certain time period before download.
But there is no feature to redirect to same download details page from package page when user clicks on download. If you want custom modification please send details to customize@wpdownloadmanager.com
Thanks
Hi we are showing category wise downloads on our site. After clicking on any file user is redirected to page where all details of file are displayed with link to download them. We don’t want to allow user to download files from this page and we want user to be redirected to new page where all details will be displayed and download will start directly.
Can this be done out of box with your module or it will need customization for this?

Shariar, good evening. It was working until the Premium update today. Now when you attempt to download it doesn’t produce the link-expired.txt file, it just bounces you to the homepage without downloading any file at all. Would you please take a look? Is it possible that the quick-fix code that worked before is conflicting with the new Premium update?
Thanks for taking the time, will send login credentials in a separate note.

A download link appears in footer, how can i remove it…
Good Morning
i have tried what you said, the download button is downloading single files but it is not downloading zip files on both the integration and download site.
I did change the [ download link] to [link_label] , and it still does not work.
I have attached some images, the zipped files have multiple documents in them.
Regards
Laurika
I have WPDM pro. At the moment all my downloads are free for anyone to download though I may want to change that in the future. I would like to make it easy for anyone to select from one to all the files in a package and download them as a zip or as separate files. I am completely failing to see how to do this. My nearest attempt is this: https://www.coresystemtrust.org.uk/translations/spanish/
I don’t like the look of those default templates but that’s another matter. The first one does what I want giving the user all the files in one zip. The second one gives them the same file collection as a zip if the user hits “download” (not what I would expect as a naive luser) and hitting the link in the box does give a very crude selection but that only allows the user to download each PDF file separately.
Surely I must be missing something. Help please.
Chris
Morning,
Just updating the downloads with a price and discount and some now have lost the link whether subscribed or not. Any ideas?

Please use the template editor from Downloads Templates page to create a custom template. Those will be visible in template selection drop-down.
Using [download_link]
template tag in your custom template you can directly download/open a file without visiting the details page. There are lots of built-in link templates which already has this feature. These built-in templates link the title to the details page and there is another link with Download
text to directly download/open the file.
If you want you can remove the details page link from the title.
1 ) Download works fine here https://integrations.cathexisvideo.com/manuals/ If you are facing any issue it is your browser cache, as I said before. I tested it again and download worked fine. Please check this screenshot,
https://www.evernote.com/l/AUfCd0NPA-BMnILxxCvSv_hljnLPWpPtiwMB/image.png
2 ) I see you are using a custom link template here ( https://downloads.cathexisvideo.com/software/official-releases/cathexisvision-2018/ ) Your download button here has some extra classes which are triggering facybox script. Please check my last reply in this thread https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/topic/file_list-shortcode-duplicating/page/2/
That should solve the issue.
Hi,
There is widget available to show the files on the sidebar. Also, you can include the pdf package into any post using package shortcode and link template. Details here.
Thanks
Hi,
If you want to open the pdf on the browser you have to change the settings from Downloads Settings file download section and enable open in browser.
Also please specify the template you need, if you only need the package name and download button you can create a new page template from Downloads Templates page template section with the available template variables. You can find more here.
And [download_link]
will show download button if you use it with the template.
Thanks
Please add the following code after line no 250,
$data['download_url'] = wpdm_download_url($data['ID']);
$download_link = 'Download';
In WPDM settings you have to check the Open file in the browser option. I have used plain text Download
instead of a button. You can replace it with a button if you want.
1 ) Yes, you can open/download a file without visiting the details page. You have to modify the link template you are using there. Replace [page_link]
tag with <a href="[download_url]">[title]</a>
to open the file when clicking the title. Please send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply if you want me to set up an example package.
2 ) Possible, but requires code customization. A new custom template tag is required for that.
Thanks Hasibul, but I actually didn’t explain what I needed well, sorry. I just need the download link to open in an new page. How can I achieve that?
Hi,
you can modify the registration form by adding a filter to your function.php file of the theme.
Here you can find details.
Also we are hoping to add this feature on our next version of Advance Custom Fields.
And, Utilize the edit_user_profile_update hook to save custom user info. Here is the link to official documentation https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/edit_user_profile_update
Adding custom fields and making those fields available in user profile requires custom coding. You can read details about it here. We provide custom upgrade service. Please mail to customize@wpdownloadmanager.com if you want our custom upgrade team to develop it for you.
Thanks
You need Pro version if you want to create a custom template. But free version has some built-in templates too. Please use TinyMCE add-on ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-tinymce-button/ ) to insert the shortcode. It will show available link templates.
Summary:
If logged in, try to download PDF, fails if PDF plugin is enabled with error:
[08-May-2018 17:23:26 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Class ‘WPDM_Crypt’ not found in /home/lifesck5/public_html/lifescicompliance/wp-content/plugins/wpdm-pdf-stamper/wpdm-pdf-stampers.php on line 74
Get Download link expired error if logged out, buy PDF, then try to download it. If I disable premium packages plugin I can download without error. But obviously, with that plugin disabled, I can no longer buy the product.
Still also getting an error “Download link is expired. Please get new download link.” when I buy the PDF and try to download it. This happens if I hit the package immediately from the website or through the email link.
Fixed (sort of) the issue with the [wpdm-pp-guest-orders]. It appears that this has been changed to [wpdmpp-guest-orders]
Now the user gets “Download link is expired. Please get new download link.” This happens either from the redirect as well as from the email verification:

Hi
I made a site with open and locked files.
the locked files are open only for subscribers
this is the dev site: http://p15327-215-4565.s215.upress.link/
I have some questions
1. can a click on a download link will open the doc if it is not locked with out going inside the doc page with all the details? and If the file is locked to open a popup with login/registration form?
2. can I add to locked links a locker icon and if the user is loged in an open locker icon?

Hi, I have just bought Archive Directory Add-on.
Everything works except one thing. All files don’t link to single page of specific file.
I have only “DOWNLOAD” button below the title, but the title doesn’t link to file page.
In your demo featured image and the title links to single file page.
Please help !
Best,
Michal
