Hello,
how can I change the translation of the download_link in a link template? See have a look at this screenshot for clarification: https://imgur.com/a/Om7S6cg
Since it is not a string, I cannot find it in WPML or/and Loco Translate.
Best regards,
Christian

Hi
Is there a way to know how many people clicked on the deals that take you to external link? Or to show how many people opened the deals page, and then how many clicked out to the external url? I am struggling to find those stats as most of the stats are around downloads.
Thanks!
Nrupesh

Hello Chris Clarke,

Yes, you can customize. You can change the login page various links changing file links from this directory wp-content\plugins\download-manager\src\User\views\login-form.php
file. And you can keep the file backup for any plugin update following this doc, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/. Please check and let me know, if you have any queries.
Thank you and regards
Thank you for your help. Exactly, if we change the login page to “None Selected”, then it fits, but the links (Login, Forgot password, …) point to the WordPress standard. And we don’t want that. These should point to “https://loewe-med.de/download-login/” or “https://loewe-med.de/download-login/?action=lostpassword”, for example.
Can this be customised somewhere? Then we would be super happy :-).

Hello, A.D.
I hope you are doing well and thanks for writing to us.
Kindly use Link template called Default Template (compact)
. It will hide the download page.

Hello Tahasin,
That’s the code :
<div class='card card-default'>
<div class='card-header'>[title]</div>
<div class='card-body'>[excerpt_100]</div>
<div class='card-footer'>
<div class='row'>
<div class='col-lg-6' align='left'>[download_link]</div>
<div class='col-lg-6' align='right'>[fav_button_ico_sm]</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
This is the preview : here
And this is the result : here
I try a lot of possibilities, but nothing work.
When an individual with access to downloads shares a download link with another user, and that recipient downloads the package through the provided link, the usage of that link is recorded as a guest download
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)
shortcode test
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″]
Hello Jeremiah Castillo,

Dynamic plain URL means not harcoded URL, you will put the template variable in your link/page template then it will create wp-content/uploads/download-manager-files/mypackagedocument.pdf
link like this for your package attached file. However, I have information from our team authority that no such option is available for now. But we shall soon reactivate the plain/flat download URL. I hope you have understood. please check and let me know, if you have any queries.
Thank you and regards

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?
If you don’t want the download page, you can try the link template called default template (compact)
. It will not show the package information page. Kindly check and let me know
Regards
Here is the shortcode i am using [wpdm_all_packages items_per_page=10 jstable=1 order_by="update_date" order="DESC" cols="title|categories|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Download"]
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?
