In that case, you have to use a custom template for /download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php
template file ( Please check step 3 here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/ )
Find <td><?php echo $download_link; ?></td>
in wpdm-all-downloads.php
and replace it with
<td><a target="_blank" href="<?php echo $data['download_url']; ?>"><?php echo $data['link_label']; ?></a></td>
Hello, Susan,
I replied your similar question here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/topic/link-custom-field-data/
Maybe you have missed it. Please check my answer there. It shows how to link custom data with Advanced Custom Fields add-on.
Regards.
You have to use a custom link template to open files in the new window.
1 ) Clone the templates you are using now from Downloads Templates page.
2 ) Then replace [download_link]
template tag with <a href="[download_url]" target="_blank">Download</a>
3 ) Save the custom template and use this template when inserting the shortcode or set it as link/page template in package settings area.
You can add this CSS in your theme’s style.css file to change download link color .wpdm-download-link { color: #DF2629 !important; }
But you can also use another link template there to present the downloads in a more stylish way. The current template you are using there is the basic one.
Install TinyMCE add-on to select link template when inserting the shortcode. You can also use Image Button as the download button.
These are dynamic thumbnail images created by Download Manager for various link/page templates ( Output for [thumb_WxH]
and [thumb_url_WxH]
tags ). WPDM stores these images to reuse the generated thumbnails.
For example the thumbnail here https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/download/multi-file-package/ is stored in cache dir.
Let me know if you have any other query.
I have cloned “Card” and “Button” template. You can clone any other template and follow the same approach to remove download link from link template. Use WPDM TinyMCE button in editor toolbar to insert the shortcode. You can select this custom link template there.

Yes, It does make sense 🙂
You can generate the direct download link for a package from “All Downloads” page and use that link with any text like any other link.

Hey there,
how can i change the Color of the Link “Download”
And what should I change if I want no hover effect at the Download Icons
Thanks
I’ve applied my license key before, but it seems to get invalidated.
On the WP plugin page I see:
There is a new version of Download Manager available. View version 4.7.1 details. Automatic update is unavailable for this plugin.
Please activate Download Manager license for automatic update. Validate license key
When I go to Downloads -> Updates, there is no mention of the 4.7.1 update, though I am logged in and do see that updates for Add-ins have been applied. (I also see no mention of 4.7.1 on your website.)
When I go to Downloads -> License, there is no license displayed. I logged in to your website, went to my downloads, clicked on the download link for “Download Manager Pro v4.7”, and click the button for my license key. As instructed, I copy the displayed key, and then past it into my wordpress install at Downloads -> License. I then see a message “Invalid License Key”.
How do I get a valid key, or get activate with my existing key?
OK. This is a good short term solution, but we would still like to use your Download Manager program to be able to upload and create a package of an iOS app and have user download it.
The problem we have is that you can’t download the iOS .ipa feel directly. Apple requires that we link to a .plist file that includes information on the file as well as the link to the file. The .plist file needs to be linked from the following URL structure:
href=”itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=url of the manifest file”
We can’t use the URL feature to add a package, because it doesn’t recognize “itms-services” as a protocol.
Is there a way to make that happen?

Please create a demo package and enable the “Mail Download Link” option only not the “Download Instantly”. I need the setup this way to test the email issue.
Also, by admin pass, I meant temporary user, not your own login info. You can delete the user after we resolve the issue. That’s the faster way to resolve such cases.

If you want to use “LinkedIn Lock” you have to create a LinkedIn app. You will find the related link in Downloads Settings Social Settings LinkedIn App Settings panel.
https://www.evernote.com/l/AUeebaLqo6FPTJNLxk-qaArjXMOtnI2MIAcB/image.png
Use custom link template to remove download link from “download” button/text on the archive page.
In your custom link template set the download button using following code,
<a href="[page_url]">Download</a>
No, when users click the download button they will be redirected to the details page.
Let me know if need help.
Did you create the LinkedIn app?
When creating the app add your site url in app settings, please check following screenshot.

Save Client ID and Client secret in Downloads Settings Social Settings LinkedIn App Settings panel.
Please send temporary wp-admin login info if having preview issue after connecting LinkedIn app.

Thank you Shahjada,
thank you for your reply.
I know this and this is the reason why we decided to allow single file download.
But clicking the “download” link I do not land to the download page where I can select single files, I directly download the zip.
This is the problem: why with desktop do I land to the download page and with mobile not?
Thank you
Best,
giorgia
After someone purchases a PDF to download, is it possible to send them from PayPal back to the actual download page, rather than a static URL? I realize that they will get an email with the download link, but it would be better if I could redirect them to a download page rather than a generic thank you page. If I redirect them to the Purchases page, the page requires them to register or login to see their downloads. I do not require, or want, the user to have to register or login.
THANKS!
I have two posts.
http://www.asbs.eu/download/waiter-guide/
and
http://www.asbs.eu/download/training-materia…our-organization/
Now i would like to set up one with the same content as the http://www.asbs.eu/download/waiter-guide/ but with the lock LinkedIn post.
I am failing to do anything here.
It won’t show me any preview on any templates and so what am i doing wrong? the doc does not help at all.
Actually, the stock limit is working fine, the download count doesn’t increase, when you click on download button multiple times in the same session, like repeated click on same download link.
Using the box to get name and email, I set to send a email with download link , but it is not sending email anyfurther
What I need to configure it ?
