Hello,
My clients are getting told their links have expired when they click on the link that was emailed to them. The message reads, “Download link is expired. Please get new download link.” Why does this happen? Is there a way to manage expirations? I saw responses in the forum regarding Dropbox expired links but not on expired link messaging from the emails. How can we manage this? We didn’t set an expiration date on the packages.
Separately, will our updating the package and re-uploading a new one in its place cause the link to expire? If so, how can we replace files without having that happen?
Thank you.
Victoria

There is an order_by
parameter in archive shortcode. You have to use that to show latest packages initially. To show latest downloads at first use order_by date and set order descending like the following shortcode.
[wpdm-archive cat_view="extended" button_style="default" link_template="link-template-calltoaction2.php" order_by="date" order="desc" items_per_page="10"]
Create New list link doesn’t link to the same URL. Two URLs are same on your site because of the popup issue. Fixing the popup will also fix the create new link.
If popup issue is fixed it will work like the demo.
Login URL ( demo/demo ) – https://themes.wpdownloadmanager.com/appmarket/dashboard/

Hi, just bought the plugin and there are so many bugs!
So far it is not working. Not even the logo will show up. Plus, when I click the download link to download my package, it downloads a text file that says “Download is not available yet.”
Hi,
thanks for your response.
I already read this how to guide for creating a custom template but FIRST this doesn´t work as every file which is in a new download-manager folder just gets ignored and SECOND as I wrote before, the template which is been used for the listing of the download links in one category is the {active-theme}/archive.php and this one is not provided by wordpress instead of the download manager plugin.
Hope you can help me.
Hi,
If you need specific link template you can build one by copying from existing or using blank template from /edit.php?post_type=wpdmpro&page=templates
.
If you need extra customization you can, you need to edit template files inside /plugins/wpdm-arhive-page/tpls/ dir. Please follow the following steps to edit a template file so that new update doesn’t erase your changes:
– Create a dir named download-manager inside your active theme directory if it is already not there.
– Copy all the files you need to modify from /plugins/wpdm-arhive-page/tpls/ dir to download-manager inside your active theme dir
– Update template file(s) in {active-theme}/download-manager dir as per your need
Thanks
Direct Links
At the bottom of the shared link settings pop-up, you will find a direct link to your file. A direct link is a web address (URL) that links directly to a file (without using Box Preview). This is different from a regular shared link, which will bring users to the Box preview screen for said file.
Direct links end with the file's extension type. Therefore, if you are linking to a Microsoft Word document, a direct link will end with *.doc. When a user clicks on the link, the file will be downloaded onto their computer or opened by a default program, depending on computer settings. Direct linking can also be used to host images or files for your website or blog.
Direct Linking is only available for individual files and is unavailable for folders. A link to a folder will always be a web address of a Box page.
You will need to select it for individual file link from link share type.
Follow that guide to achieve this.
Thanks
Hi,
Direct download is not available for the free user, This is a premium feature. And you can follow this guide to achieve the direct download link from any file.
Thanks
While the files appear to order as expected, child categories don’t… or is there a separate way to indicate how those should be sorted? On my page I have the main category “Council Meeting Minutes” and then sub categories for “2018”, “2017”, etc. The files sort by date as hoped, but not the child categories.
This is the shortcode I’m using: [wpdm_tree download_link=1 category=”city-council-meeting-minutes” orderby=”date”]
If anyone else has issue with inconsistent behavior from the documentation, here was my solution.
1. Create an ACF or other custom field and paste in the id number in the post page -> $packageID = get_field(‘user_submitted_app_download_id’);
2. Get the data for the item (download package) like this -> $package = wpdm_get_package($packageID); you can run a print_r on the $package to output the object and find what you want in the array
3. Then you can access whatever you want like this -> $page_link = $package[‘page_url’]; and output like <?php echo $page_link; ?>
Im sure I totally missed the boat, and there may be an easier built in way, but this worked for me.
1. You can provide access control to any category, even custom taxonomies by attaching any category or custom taxonomy to a Membership Level. Now, the packages under that categories will be under membership level.
2. Do you want to hide the items section tab from user front end dashboard? Then, you can just remove add_filter("wpdm_user_dashboard_menu",array($this,"dashboard_menus"));
this from your plugins/wppromembership/wppromembership.php
file.
3. Without a subscription, the user can’t access the content, if you want to show only content and hide the download link then go to Content Visibility
section from membership advance setting, then check Show WPDM Pacakge Info?
.
4. You can use class="classparent <?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {echo 'loggedin';}
in the class and then define .classparent.loggedin
in theme css file to make change the css for loggedin user.
5. Payment gateway like PayPal has that feature that you can change directly from there. But it is a nice idea we can implement.
Thanks
Hi,
1. No, it will only require WordPress download manager.
2. yes, the user can add any type of package.
Can you please send login details in private and link to check it?
Thanks
Hi,
There is an issue with your theme front-end builder zindex, that inherits the popup zindex. So, for alternate solution i put [download_link_extended]
in the template.
Thanks
They don’t work for me. The same issue is there. The downloads open in new tab, but the page that links to them becomes a 404.

Please, help me fix this. And please be detailed. I am not a developer. So please explain where is the code you are referring to.
Please help.
After you modify a page template, you can select the template from single package setting, Details here. Page template will work with single package view. While link template will only work with the shortcode that includes the package link into any page/post.
And if you make a link template, then it will only work with the shortcode of link, Details Here.
And for modifying the template file you can follow this tutorial.
Thanks
Hi,
You need this addon to modify the page/link template file, the URL for the template files is wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wpdmpro&page=templates
.
Thanks
Yes, You can use custom page/link template addon to make direct download link in the icon, for this, you need to create custom template or modify an existing template file from wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wpdmpro&page=templates
this page.
You can use this code <a href="[download_url]">[icon]</a>
to make the link work with the icon.
Thanks
Here the screenshot and the blue area should be have the same link-possibility as the PDF-Download Text.
Do you want the download link on the file icon? It will be clear if you give a screenshot.
Thanks
I can’t find anywhere in the settings that I can control the links to pages associated with a package. I’m using both the default links (individual file on a page) and the extended add-on shortcode for displaying categories. In both cases, I want all links to only download the PDF – not to go to the page template that shows file information. Is it possible to do this?
Also, the free version seemed to allow a default choice of template for the download links, but now that I’ve installed the pro version, it looks like I have to set the template for every package… is this the case?
We tried downloading the product which has attached files as AWS file links. The download returns no File Found issue.
After my developer dug more at code level he was able to fix the issue via removing the your “wpmp_user_subscription_download” function and adding a custom in the same hook.
Could you check and resolve this issue so that this is fixed in the default way and not via a custom code fix.
Hi,
