Search Results for 'download link'

Please try creating a custom template using a template file.

1 ) Copy any link template file from /download-manager/tpls/link-templates/
2 ) Change the name and put it in /active-theme/download-manager/link-templates/ path
3 ) Open the file and change the template name ( text after WPDM Link Template: ) at the top

Now, check your templates from Downloads Templates. If this works you can use this approach to create custom templates.

Hi,

Download Manager sets the following cookies and these cookies are essential for the plugin to perform the basic functions. All of these are temporary means cookies are erased after closing the browser.

unlocked_{file_id} – Tracks whether or not the current visitor unlocked a package/download.
wpdmimported – Tracks the imported files of a directory when bulk importing files from a server dir.
wpdm_getlink_data_{key} – Remembers the package/download data of an unlocked package/download for current user.
global_success– Used to track user registration.

And about the IP logging, Download Manager logs the users IP address for each download. If you want you can disable it from settings ( from the latest version) or add the info about this in your privacy policy to inform users.

The plugin doesn’t send any information about users to anyone else. I am assuring you using WPDM won’t get you in trouble with the law. The issue is sensitive when using user data for Advertising or sharing with third parties. None of which is done by WPDM.

Thanks

Under new GDPR, double opt-in as well as positive consent that they want to be emailed is an absolute requirement.

This is how it needs to be done:
* Provide a checkbox that says they want to subscribe. It has to be default not checked.
* Send an email opt-in that requires them to confirm subscription
* According to GDPR, “soft opt-ins” are not allowed. Which means you can’t opt them in, or even send them an opt-in email if they don’t want to, and you can’t require email to download.
* This means that if they DON’T check the box to subscribe, you must still allow the download, even if they didn’t provide an email address

See examples here:
* https://litmus.com/blog/5-things-you-must-know-about-email-consent-under-gdpr
From the above link “If subscribing to a newsletter is required in order to download a whitepaper, for example, then that consent is not freely given. Signing up for emails is optional—you can always download the ebook without subscribing to our emails.”

* https://www.pactsafe.com/blog/the-gdpr-and-email-marketing-dont-rely-on-double-opt-in-to-track-consent
From the above link: “You should be collecting and tracking consent the moment a person subscribes to your emails. The most familiar way to do this is with a click-through or clickwrap agreement. Click-through agreements are those little tick boxes you’ve seen to accept privacy policies and terms of use when you sign up for almost any service online:”

This means you need an additional checkbox that says the party consents to the collection of data and has read the linked privacy agreement.

YES this is a massive pain in the ass. But the fines for non-compliance are gigantic.

Furthermore, we use the YMLP mailer and want to integrate that with WP DownloadManager but it looks like that’s not supported. How can we integrate our mailer so that when they check the checkbox that says they want to subscribe, it goes to the YMLP subscription manager to send the opt-in message, not to

Your Private Download Links Usage Limit: was set to 0 ( In Basic Setting Tab ). That is the number of times the URL can be used to download the file. I have set it to 5 and download is working like a charm.

Here is the list of cookies WPDM uses.

If you need detailed privacy policy text you can follow ours ( http://w3eden.com/privacy-policy.html ) as it covers everything.

About the download log’s IP address, we are releasing an update today which will allow you to disable the IP logging. If IP logging is enabled our privacy policy ( http://w3eden.com/privacy-policy.html ) covers the related info to let users inform about that.

Hi Anand,

Yes, you can add custom fields using our Advanced Custom Field add-on. Please check add-on details here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-custom-fields/

For each custom field, the add-on generates a template tag and PHP code. So, you can show the custom data easily in your custom link/page template or in a PHP template file.

Thanks.

Hello,

I have bought pro version and I used free version earlier. How can I install the pro version without losing my download files? When I install new pro version zip-file I get the message that the plugin still exist. I read that an add-on can help but I don’t know which one.

I bought pro version so that you can help to anonymize IP address of the users.

Do you have an privacy policy for w3 eden? I would like to link in my declaration.

Thanks and kind regards

Mailed download link expires when you update the package. Or it is happening without updating package? Please send me the package URL to check.

It is not possible to conditionally hide the button without code customization.

But you can use a custom template for packages that have no attached files. Just clone the current template you are using now and remove the [download_link] template tag from there.
