You can use custom link template to insert shortcode that won’t link to the package details page. So, there will be no link to start with. Just clone any link template and remove [page_url] template tag from there. Thus custom link template feature is available in Pro version of Download Manager.

Sorry, I thought you want to hide download buttons in the file list.
However, You can show the download button when inserting package shortcode. As you are using Form Lock all forms will make the page very long. I have applied a custom link template in the first accordion https://www.cromsource.com/publications/
If you want you can apply the same template for all packages there. But a template without form will look better there.
If you want to add the search and category filter feature in all packages table you just have to add jstable=1 parameter [wpdm-all-packages jstable=1]
In archive shortcode, you can use custom link template to make it look like all package table. But it is not possible to use the exact table. Please check this doc to know more about custom templates https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/creating-a-new-template/
Okay, a bigger problem I have is also that I have multiple downloads on the same page but some are hidden by another plugin. These downloads can’t be accessed through the F12 console or similar, but if the person simply knows the permalink they can get to the download page. (I have the downloads set to be accessible only by Admin and Subscriber and all other users are subscribers). Would there be a way to hide the post pages on user by user basis or completely?
by post page I mean the page the permalink sends you to.
I don’t want to hide the individual download links. I want terms and conditions to be accepted before individual files can be downloaded. Not the entire package.
You have to use a page template that doesn’t have [file_list] template tag. That will hide the individual download links.
Please send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply. I will set up a sample package for you.

Thanks Shahriar! Can you please link this licence to domain:
http://burlescombe.devon.sch.uk/
And then I need to download one more for:
http://webbers.devon.sch.uk/ – which was webbersprimary.co.uk
Is there anywhere in the settings where I can change domains myself??
Your Easy Smooth Scroll Links plugin is creating this issue. Everything worked fine when I disabled that plugin. Here is the package I run test on http://dv-global.com/download/resort-group-fact-sheet-2/
Your key is linked to intranet.elgas.com.au If you are using Download Manager in that site then license key should work fine unless you server blocking connection to https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/ Please check if that’s the issue.
From current version, you can update plugin from your WP Dashboard.
Have you installed the Pro version of WPDM? If not please download it here. Deactivate and delete free version before installing Pro version. You won’t lose any data.
You can use Form Lock plugin to use a custom form instead of email lock. Or another option is using Advanced Custom Fields add-on. ACF add-on adds more fields to the email lock. Please check those links to know more about add-on features.
Create a custom link template with [file_list] template tag. Use this custom link template when inserting shortcode on your page.
Hi,
Your key is linked to burlescombeprimary.co.uk Do you want to move the license to another site?
Also, from the current version, you can update plugin right from your dashboard. Just connect your WPDM account from Downloads Settings Updates tab.
Thanks.
1 ) Create a custom link template from Downloads Template page. You can clone an existing template from that page and edit on top of it. Remove all data that is not important for you ( i.e. version, date, download count etc ). Also remove [page_url] and [page_link] template tags those exists there. That will remove all link to the details page.
When inserting the category shortcode select this custom template as your link template. Install TinyMCE add-on to insert shortcode easily.
2 ) You can also modify the details page ( http://rodribv.com/download/test-bestand/ ) by using a custom page template.
Download Button shows up after form submission in my test as shown in the following screenshot. Where are you having the issue? Please send me package link.

Is there any possibilities to add favorite tab to the dashboard under the download history and display it as the list of links instead of packages?
Thank you,

HI Shahriar,
the only license related error notification we get for WpDownloadManager is this: “Please activate license for automatic update. ”
But I’m thinking if this issue persists but only affects the auto update featured, we’re thinking to just download the latest files from you guys and manually update.
As long as the download links we build continue to work, then we’re ok.
We had no issues like this in the staging site when we were testing it. But it was in an earlier version of wordpress.
Is license verification only for automatic updates?
The viewer should look like this demo https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/download/pdf-viewer/
Maybe there is some kind of conflict in your site. Please send me the link to check.
We have other plugins that are doing ajax calls to admin-ajax.php but they have no issues with the access. This is download manager pro 4.7.1
Our main concern is that we are using it for all our private download links and that this issue may affect the plugins functionality in serving these links.
Does the license file limit the main plugin functionality of managing the download links or is it just for automatic updates?
Thanks.
Hi there, you’re saying ‘Okay now.’ but when I go and test it’s not working still.
Now instead of coming up with ‘Unauthorised Access’ i’m just getting a broken link instead of the package downloading.
You can go and test this on the package that I think you tested with last time, it doesn’t download the package file.
Please can you advise what the issue with this is as I need to know for future updates, I can’t have it break every time I upgrade the plugin version.
Thanks,
Ben
Hi,
Please save your license key in Downloads Settings License tab to verify your order.
This link explains how to generate your key https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/where-is-my-license-key/
Install the latest version of Download Manager if you are getting an “Invalid key error” when saving the key.
Best regards.
You can get the simplest download link from “All Packages” page. Copy the master download link from there and set it as the link to any text.
https://www.evernote.com/l/AUc38gJBWV5Jh4hRib2H7v-yVAHh4kRP4EQB/image.png
Or you can use the “Button Template” when inserting the shortcode. This template will show only a button. Use TinyMCE add-on to insert shortcode.
Let me know if you have any other query.
