Hey,
yes i have assigned each package to a specific category. i have tested it once again and created a news package with a PDF-file and attached it to The categories Datenaustausch->IT->Intranet.
If i take the direct link (http://172.16.1.228/download/test/) i can see the file as soon as i click on The category Datenaustausch or Intranet or IT i get te empty page
I configured wordpress-users to use wpdm pro with their own login, so they can only access the download center after a successful login. Can you please explain to me, why there is no login needed when someone opens the direct URL of a download package?.
Hi
I had to restore our website after updating this plugin as all document downloads disappeared. Please can you advise how to update while avoiding a recurrence of this.
Many thanks
Hi,
I understand. This shortcode will only show the category name and subcat name with package count on a single page. As you can see the demo here (https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/categories/).
If the category page link is not working then you can try this code [wpdm-categories cols="3" subcat="6" showcount="1"]. Working fine at my side.
To achieve a different look or package lists on the page, you can different shortcode. Like you can use Archive page shortcode.
Thanks
Hi,
I cannot find any help in setting up Social Settings. I want to be able to share downloads using Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter especially but no explanation of what to do.
Hey,
unfortunately i have a local system running and cant sahre it with you.
I have documents inside my categrories and i can access the documents with an direct link. The only thing which is not working ist the overview of categories. Evrery time i click on a category which is listet in the overview i see an empty main-container.
What i have tested today was to replace the [wpdm-categories subcat=”1″ showcount=”0″ cols=3] with [wpdm_tree download_link=1]. Wehne i use [wpdm_tree download_link=1] is seee my categories an i can navigate troug it an open the links.
I dont understadn why it doesnt work with [wpdm-categories subcat=”1″ showcount=”0″ cols=3] i always run into an empty page. Is there another way to display my categories?
Hi,
You can just use shortcode for the category page. You just need to replace the template id or name with the custom link template.
[wpdm_category id="Category Slug(s)" operator="IN" title="Custom Title Here or 1" desc="Custom Description or 1" toolbar="1" paging="1" order_by="field name" order="asc or desc" item_per_page="10" template="template name or ID" cols=4 colspad=2 colsphone=1]
You can create custom link template from Downloads -> Templates , details here (https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/building-a-wordpress-download-manager-link-template-from-scratch/).
You need to change the drop-down category icon color for black background in the CSS.
Or Can you send login in private? So, I can help with the issue.
Thanks
Thanks Hasibul,
appreciate your help
i donwloaded the addon and installed it and then pasted the following text into a sidebar widget as instructed
[wpdm-archive button_style=”default” link_template=”link-template-panel” items_per_page=”10″ category=”category-slug” <br/>order_by=”field-name” order=”asc or desc”]
but it looks awful!
http://144.208.70.12/~eccv/policy-directory/
what am i doing wrong – i would like it to look like this
https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/advanced-search-right/
thanks – hear from you soon

Hi,
Yeah, I know about copy the template int he theme directory, but I can’t find the way to replace ‘View Details’ to ‘Download’ button. When the user click in the button donwload the file directily without enter to a details view.
In the plugin files I found shortcodes like this [download_link_extended] but shortcodes those doesn’t work in the archive-page-with-sidebar.php file.
Any idea? please.
Thank you.
Please send me the link to check the issue.
If you are using “WPDM packages by category” widget you can control the package view by selecting the preferred Link Template.
https://www.evernote.com/l/AUd5YFlDeypPu4MOGbZMSv-IpPz4imBDg_4B/image.png
But the package view in category archive page in controlled by your theme. You can partially control this from Downloads Settings Frontend Category Page Options panel.
No, we don’t want to send an email when someone adds a file to the cart.
Here’s how it currently works:
1. A user adds a file (or multiple files) to the file cart
2. They have the option to download all of the files within the file cart as a zip file
3. They can also email the files to anyone else by entering an email address and clicking ’email file(s)’.
This functionality works perfectly and we’re very happy with it.
However, we would like to add a fourth step that happens at the same time as step 3:
4. When the user emails the files to the other person, we would like the user to receive a confirmation email saying something like:
“You’ve just sent the following files [link to the zip file] to the following recipient [email address you sent the files to].”
It seems step 3 is triggered by the action I posted above — it’s on line 32 of wpdm-file-cart.php
Does that make sense?
Thanks again.
Hi,
It is possible to load sub-category packages on page load but requires some code changes. Please send login info in private reply. I will add the code there or you can add the code yourself. Here is the custom code, add it after line 1082 in wpdm-archive-page.php file. Please keep in mind, you have to add this every time you update the add-on.
var firstcat = jQuery('.wpdm-categories .wpdm-cat-link').first().attr('rel');
jQuery('.wpdm-categories .wpdm-cat-link').first().addClass('active');
jQuery('#wpdm-downloads').prepend('<div class="wpdm-loading"><i class="fa fa-spin fa-spinner icon icon-spin icon-spinner"></i> <?php _e('Loading','wpdm-archive-page'); ?>...</div>').load('<?php echo home_url('/?wpdmtask=get_downloads&pg='.get_the_ID());?>&category='+encodeURIComponent(firstcat));
Thanks.
Hi
I’m working on your Plugin WordPress Download Manager Special Packand. I think that without your intervention I can not achieve what we have in mind.
We are a small Children Book Publisher. Our collection is compose of 60 audio book titles. We want to replace the CD included in our books by hyeprelink and code related to a package in our website.
We will insert in each book a printed card with a unique code (password look) and the hyperlink to the package on our website.
With password look I can produce 5000 code for each title, so, if you multiple 60 title by 5000 books I will have to manage 300 000 code.
We will grant 3 time access to the MP3.zip file related to a book.
After that the cotumer will have to contact use so we can issue a new password
or reset the old one.
To do so we have to collect the name, email and passeword of the book owner.
The solution would be to use your email look combine with password look
so the user have to enter name, email nad passeword to be able to download the file.
After that all those tree info could be find in the Subscribers Panel.
If a person by more that one book the Subscibers Panel would indicate
the name, email, Package title and all the code related to the book.
Can you estimate the cost of your theme looking at our demand.
Hey Shahriar, thanks for your post. If i push the view link below the category i see also an empty page. The link is correct so i have myip/downloads/category.
I have to study your second link at the moment i am not sure what to do. I will give feedback as soon as i have tried it.
The user will redirect if they are already registered. But registration process will not redirect user after registration -> login to download page.
But, you can use email lock feature to capture more data. And also use the addon to build a perfect email list. more here(https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/grow-your-email-list-by-offering-free-downloads/)
There is an option “Download Instantly & Do Not Mail Download Link ” you can turn on from package settings, This lets a user download instantly after the package form submitted by the user.
Thanks
I’m sorry to keep bothering you but i’m really trying to find an option that works and so far i’m still stuck…
This is ultimately what i need. A new user goes to a product page; they click “download brochure”… it takes them to the brochure download page where there is a french version and english version. I need to capture the persons name and email address (phone number would be great too!) before they download the brochure. I would like them to stay on this page or redirect them back to this page after registration/login.
I tried Email Lock. which would be perfect for me except there is no option to stay on that page to download, they can only get the download in an email; so that won’t work for my needs… If there is a workaround for this that reloads the page after entering name and email to allow download button to be active, that would be amazing. Some ppl don’t want to have to go check their email to look at a pdf file; they just want to click a button and read it/print it.
I tried Show only login form, which would be perfect if they were already logged in, but 99% of ppl will be new users and must register first. When they register, they are then taken to login screen, they have to login then they are taken to the user dashboard, then they have to go back to the product page, click to go to the download page and then they can download the version they want. This is way too much clicking around just to download a brochure.
Can you please help me find another way for a new user to enter their name, email and possibly phone number so they can stay on the download page?
Here is the page with the link to go to the download page where they can find the 2 versions available to DL

Hi Shahriar,
There are a few more issues I have come across.
Firstly, the download button has now come at the very bottom of my posts. Just scroll to the very end of any page on my website and you will see it. Please remove that button.
Also, if I visit my downloads in internet explorer, they are not being displayed properly. The link templates are also not working properly. You can see that on the Graphics section of my website or on any download; if you open the site on IE.
I have not yet deleted the login I set up for you so you can use that to solve the issues.
Thanks,
Anirudh.

Maybe something is wrong with your theme’s archive template. Please check if the post category archive page works. You can do that by viewing any category from Posts Categories page. Click the view link under a category.
Let me know what you see.
Alternatively, you can use a custom template for download manager category page. The template name should be taxonomy-wpdmcategory.php Read more about it here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/
Hi,
Sorry, there is no shortcut way to transform this shortcode as WPDM shortcode.
If you are trying to provide image download, you have to create packages by attaching those images. Then use a download manager shortcode to display those images and download links.
You can read the getting started doc here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/getting-started/ or we can set up a sample package for you if you send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply.
So you are from city of legendary Žalgiris 🙂
Thanks.
We run a local wordpress version as a intranet solution. I have installed Download Manager Pro in Version 4.7.2. I try to display the categories on a page therefore i have used the shortcode [wpdm-categories subcat="1" showcount="1" cols="1" ]. The categories are displayed an have a valid link. As soon as i click the category i see an empty page.
I can access the uploadeds files directly and i can alos display them and download them. The only thing which is not working is the category-view.
Any ideas?
Our template ist WofficeVersion: 2.5.6.
Thanks in advance
Hy
Since a couple of days the upload-link does not work anymore – it always comes: 404, Page not found!
Nothing found here!
WordPress 4.9.1 uses the theme Crypton.
Download Manager plugin version 4.6.2
Thanks for the support
Thanks Hasibul for your quick response.
I’ve updated to 2.9.59, the newest version it offered. The problem still persists, however.
It concerns the website Mutualfund.nl. One of the pages/downloads that should not be accessible to regular visitors, but only to registered users, is https://www.mutualfund.nl/download/2017-10-persoonlijke-update-vincent-peters/.
This post is part of the Downloads category ‘Persoonlijke bestanden’ which we’ve declared in the category settings for your plugin should not be accessible to ‘all visitors’ and subsequently only to the roles ‘subscriber’ and up. Even though the page/download I linked to is only part of this category and no other, it is still accessible.
I’m guessing the accessiblity setting is being overridden by a post-specific setting which I cannot update in bulk, but I’m not sure and that wouldn’t be a sollution, since it’s not updatable in bulk.
Any idea?
Thanks!
Jacob
