using the WP Admin UI to upgrade failed
1) ‘view details’ link to release notes failed to display – ugly system error instead of popup window
2) ‘update now’ link failed with real ugly system error (sorry lost the error message).
the ‘update now’ process deleted the plugin from my site (as has all the other failures have done). – confirmed by ftp inspection and error message on admin UI which said plugin deactivated as source code was missing.
so to get my site working again I have downloaded the plugin kit from my account and gone though the manual ‘add new’ plugin, ‘upload plugin’ process.
so my site is working again fortunately.
Not a happy customer as every update in recent time (like more than a year) has failed
FTP can’t retrieve directory listing.
The issue seems identical to your previously reported one here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/topic/download-links-not-working-3/
Please apply the same patch I suggested there Or enable plugin editor access for the temporary wp-admin user so I can do the edits.
Lazy Download requires a separate page where it shows the counter. There is no option to show counter on the same page. It is possible to show it on the same page but you have to place [wpdm_lazy_download] shortcode in each package description in that case.
Also, I have to make some code changes in add-on. Send login info in private reply if you want that. Or if you can do that yourself,
Find header("location: " . get_permalink($wpdm_lazy_download['waiting_page'])); and change it to
header("location: " . get_permalink($package['ID'])); in /wpdm-lazy-download./wpdm-lazy-download.php file
Hi Razia,
I am confident at installing it myself, however, can you please provide the link (can be private) where I am able to download the current version that you have mentioned. When I go to my account here my downloads have expired.

When you are using captcha lock, use the template used in http://www.newbyrobsonassociates.com/download/captcha-test/ or create link/page template using [download_link_extended] tag instead of [download_link] tag.
Also, the email link is working fine for me:

Everything is working well until I try to actually download the file from the purchases page. When I click on the download link I am taken to a blank page, and the file does not download.
To recreate issue:
1) Go to http://www.lifescicompliance.com/test-wpdm/
2) Click on the link to the full text.
3) Purchase product for $1
4) Pay at paypal
5) Come to purchases page
6) click the green download button and you will get a blank page.
If you need me to provide you admin credentials for the WP backend let me know.
Thanks for your help.
Yes, there is another issue. All download links are not working anymore. They don’t trigger the download process but (re)load the download details page. Please help me with this one, too.
Regards, Arne
@arneklein, Updated Download Manager to the latest version. Please let me know if there is any other issue.
@markmaxdb, Found no issue in my test. The download was served as usual from the email link.
Your theme has it’s own archive template which by default works as category archive.
You have to create the custom category template taxonomy-wpdmcategory.php if you want to build a custom archive for only downloads. This template does not come with the theme if it is not a Download Manager theme.
Please check the doc link for more info.

You can get the direct download link of a file from “Downloads All files” page. Just copy the download button URL as shown in the following screenshot.

Sorry for the delay. Yes, you can use custom link template in Pro version to open download links in new window.
WPDM Pro payment is yearly. But you can cancel the subscription anytime. And after 1 year you can continue using the version you have. Renewing license after 1 year gives you access to updates and bug fixes. Also, you get access to Pro forum.
You can do that easily by using custom link template.
Just use the following code in the custom template to link download button to the details page.
<a class="btn btn-success" href="[page_url]">Download</a>
I understand that on the package page, the download link takes me to iTunes, but on the page that list all the Add Ons:
(https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/downloads/add-ons/page/2/)
On this page, the download button under the Add On name, takes me to the package page. How is that set up?
On my page that list all my downloads, the download buttons always “trigger” the download. How do I get the buttons to just go to the package pages?

1 ) WPDM core plugin has 2 options to show all packages.
First one is all packages table
[wpdm-all-packages items_per_page=10 jstable=1 order_by="create_date" order="DESC"]
Second option is packages shortcode
[wpdm_packages template="link-template-bsthumnail.php" order_by="date" order="desc" paging="1" items_per_page="10" title="" desc="" cols=3 colsphone=1 colspad=1]
Install TinyMCE add-on to insert these shortcodes easily.
2 ) Use the second shortcode I wrote above to show all downloads with card template. You can show video in card template by creating a clone of card template and replacing thubmnail tag with video tag [video_player_500] But there is no option to apply condition there ( i.e. show image or video based on availability )
Hey guys,
I’m struggling to wrap my head around templates, even with your docs. I’m going to lay out here what i am hoping to achieve, in the hope you will tell me exactly what i need to do in order to create that. My requirements are:
1. A central download page where all uses see all downloads available.
2. All files have the same template. Ideally “Card” would be perfect, with the image being swapped out for a video if its a video file, for example.
That’s it. I’ve created my own downloads page, but all of the files look identical, and are in a single list rather than three columns. The video file, as an example I have the following settings telling i want the link template to be card, but that on the downloads page definitely isn’t card, is it?!
Your help would be hugely appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Are you using WPDM Advanced Custom Fields add-on? It is possible to link custom data using this add-on.
1 ) Create 1 text custom fields and another URL custom field. Set name and URL in respective fields when creating the package.
2 ) In your custom template use this format to add link to the text <a href="[acf_ACF_url]">[acf_ACF_Text]</a>
I have created a radio button custom field called “contributors” so we can reference what organization created the file. Is there a way the data can be linked so that when it shows up on the download page (such as: http://trafficsafety.org/shso-portal/download/cost-of-crashes-2015/) it could be linked to their website?
For instance, in my attached picture, could the “NETS” text be automatically linked to their website based upon a parameter we set somewhere?
Thanks!
Hi, Shahriar,
Sorry for the confusion.
Here is an example of one of my packages: http://trafficsafety.org/shso-portal/download/cost-of-crashes-2015/
Attached is 1.jpg, a screenshot of the link template I made which includes not only the download button but a “more info” button that is made using the [wpdm-download-link] tag.
2.jpg is how the [file_list_extended] tag is rendered by default. I want to know if there is any way I can edit this layout. I would like to add a “more info” button to each of the individual files so people can click on it and be taken to the page of each file included in the package. (For example, using my example link, they wanted to see the thumbnail preview and file detail of just “Cost of Crashes 2015 Report” they could find out.)
Does that help? Thanks so much!
Please install WPDM v.4.7.1 to fix the “link-expired” issue.
Save your WPDM login info in Downloads Settings Updates Tab to enable plugin update from your admin dashboard.
Or just download the latest version here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/purchases/
