Search Results for 'download link'

Hi, Seems like there is a problem with the "/plugins/download-manager/cache" directory on your server. The thumb images won’t loading for permission problem.
I have created the thumb template and changes all packages with link template code in the page. It should be showing feature image with the direct download link in the grid.

Please send your FTP to check the issue. Or contact server admin.

Thanks

On the frontend, you can edit/manage only packages created by you. But you can, of course, download files created by others.

You can view the package by clicking ‘View’ link from ‘All packages’ admin page. If you want to show all packages then use [wpdm-all-packages] shortcode to list all downloads in a tabular format.

Please create a custom link template from Downloads Templates page with the following code,

<a href="[download_url]">[thumb_100x100]</a>

Use this custom link template with your shortcode to show the pacakge featured image with the download link. You can adjust the image size ( I have set it to 100×100 ) to match your requirements.

Or send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply, I can create the custom template for you.

Hi,

You can create a custom template(link for use with shortcode/page template that will work with single category) to show only feature image and the download button for a file/package. You can find the existing template files from /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wpdmpro&page=templates.

You can put [preview] to show feature image and [download_link] which gives you the direct download link. You can use HTML to design this template with the available tags.

If you still find it confusing let me do it for you.

Do you mean sort by package/download name?

You can add order_by="title" to sort by title.

Here is the link to shortcode doc https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/

Hi,

There can be several issues that the images are not showing. If you changed your domain also then there might be old domain link still into the database that is not replaced. Or in your new hosting check the folder permission, and if they are 755, then its ok. If you have had any cache plugin which stored cache files then remove them.

The WordPress download manager files are stored in wp-content/uploads/download-manager-files folder. check the folder and the permission.

If the problem does not resolve then send the login info in private to check.

Thanks

Hi,

You can use Directory addon and use Archive page for showing the document library page.

You can use link template to show customize template where the user can click on “view” button then view them in a tab if they are pdf files. You need to use this <a href="[download_url]" target="_blank">View</a> code in the template.

If you are not sure how to customize template then let me know, i will do that for you.

Thanks

I understand your use case. We have added this to our to-do list. For now, you can create a separate free package and share the download link on the pay as you want package. So, the user can have access to both options.

Hi,

Adding target blank is not available with the shortcode yet.

But,
You can modify an existing link template file from wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wpdmpro&page=templates this page.

And add this code <a href="[download_url]" target="_blank">[icon]</a> to make download target blank.

And use this template tag with the shortcode.

Thanks

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

File : /themes/prime/homepage-blocks/featured-items.php

Please change <?php the_permalink(); ?> to <?php echo wpdm_download_url(get_the_ID()); ?> on line 28

The issue is not on this page https://welscongregationalservices.net/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wpdm_add2list_options&p=154#

This link is supposed to load on a modal as it does in the demo. But the modal is not working with the theme.

When you click on “My Resources” here https://welscongregationalservices.net/000-jd-sample-bookmark-resources-page/ the modal appears for second and then redirect to this page https://welscongregationalservices.net/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wpdm_add2list_options&p=154#

But it shouldn’t redirect.

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,

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”]
