You need to enable single file download for that, but a user must click each download link separately.
Ex:
https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/download/multi-file-package/
It is not possible to use link template on sidebar view. You can use other Archive Page views with link templates.
If you are trying to remove details page link from card template then clone the card template and remove the link from the title.
Custom Template Doc : https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/creating-a-new-template/
Yes, it is possible using custom link/page template. You can create a new template from Downloads Templates page. Use template editor to create a custom template.
Please check the doc here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/creating-a-new-template/
Add following code in your theme’s functions.php file, this will redirect the user to the package page instead of downloading “permission-denied.txt” file when the user is not logged in.
add_action('wpdm_download_permission_denied', 'wpdm_permission_denied_login_redirect');
function wpdm_permission_denied_login_redirect($id){
if( !is_user_logged_in() ):
wp_redirect( get_the_permalink($id) );
exit();
endif;
}
Please send login info in private reply to check settings issue. Maybe there is a JS error in the page. If you are hosting on siteground here is the solution https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/topic/wpdm-doesnt-save-options/
Hi,
You can use “Email Download Link” button from Admin Dashboard Downloads All Packages page.

Hello,
I have a serious issue with the Email lock. If I use the 2 column template I get an error string shown up. See: https://www.venionaire.com/download/test-download/
If I use another template, I don’t see the “subscribe to download” field at all and download links are not working.
Kind regards,
Fabian
Hello,
I want to invite people to check out certain documents. They should get a “secret” download link, which is not searchable in search engines. How do I do that?
Kind regards,
Fabian
Hi,
the problem is that we usually send a link (like this: http://www.optika-italy.com/download/im-3fl-im-3fl4-en-pdf/?wpdmdl=21351&ind=T1BUSUtBIC0gSU0tM0YgJiBJTS0zRkw0IC0gIEluc3RydWN0aW9uIE1hbnVhbCDigJMgRU4gSVQgRVMgRlIgUFQucGRm ) to the customers depending on which manual they need.
If you try to paste the link I send you, immediately the browsers try to download a file (not the manual) called: access-denied.txt instead of beeing redirect to a login page (because obviously the customer is not logged in yet).
We know that if we send the link with instructions we can tell to customer to log in before pasting the link, but we would like to know if is possible in the case costumer is not logged in redirecting him to a log in page.
I wish now you understand better the question.
Regards
If you have archive page addon, we used following shortcode for archive page sidebar style in the demo ( https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-sidebar/ ):
[wpdm-archive button_style="default" link_template="link-template-default.php" order_by="post_title" order="asc" items_per_page="10" cat_view="sidebar"]
but https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/docsfor/wpdm-icontact/ is totally different
When you want to move to production, please give me your license key in a private reply to unlock it.
Your download page http://www.optika-italy.com/download/optikam-hdmi-easy-en-it-es-fr-de-pt-pdf/ is showing the login form. So, user do not have the download link ( the one you are pasting in browser url field ) when he is not allowed to download the file and not logged in.
You are getting this URL only after loggin in, so there is no point in redirecting a logged in user to the login page.
Let me know if the issue is not clear to you yet. Or is there anything I missed?

- Yes, if you want only download button, create a link template ( Admin Menu Downloads Templates , Doc: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/ ) using only
[download_link] tag, and use the template with package shortocode ( [wpdm_package id=ID template='template-id'], Doc: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/ )
- Yes, you can show hide any info you want, you need to create page template for that, Doc: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/, however, still some info will depend on your theme, Doc: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/docsfor/for-theme-developers/
Hello,
Having a hard time trying to find “My Downloads” located in the sidebar menu of user dashboard. Looking to remove this from the menu as it’s not needed and everytime a user clicks the link it overloads the server.
Thank You
I’m seeing like this:
https://www.evernote.com/l/AV0435uC2whKtaFs15S2eL4tCCODpTuxE3IB/image.png
When I’m not logged in, I’m seeing login form and single file download link is disabled.
Hello, I am using both Download Manager Pro and Formidable Forms Pro. I am also using Formidable Modal Add-On which allows registration form pop-up when link is clicked. This works fine except when I have Download Manager Pro activated. When Download Manager Pro is activated, it breaks the Formidable Modal Add-On.
Here is a link to my website link https://www.geosway.com/test/
Click the “Register” text on the page and you will see the form pop-up then disappear. Again, this only breaks when Download Manager Pro is activated. If I deactivated Download Manager Pro, then the form pops up and works as required. Can you look at site and see why Download Manager Pro is causing this conflict?
here is link to the formidable add on I am using – https://formidableforms.com/downloads/bootstrap-modal/
In Settings->Category Page Options, specifying a link-template containing the [file_list] shortcode for the static package-category page (/downloads/category) results in output of “[file_list]” i.e. the shortcode is not expanded. When using the same link template in other contexts, the [file_list] shortcode is properly expanded.
I´ve checked with my web host provider and they have confirmed that the problem is not to do with any restrictions from them. I´ve done some tests of my own and asked friends to test too, and the results are completely random. Some people can download a particular package while others can´t. For example, I tried downloading this package http://www.biggabug.com/flower-field-colours-and-writing-practice-printable/ in Firefox twenty minutes ago and it didn´t work. I tried the same package again 15 minutes later and it worked. One person is able to download it, two others consistently receive expired link notices, regardless of the browser they use. But it´s the same with all the packages – not just this one. Sometimes they work. Sometimes they don´t.
From give me the URL where the user is facing expired link issue. However, even if a user sees such issue, this is not an issue with wpdm but the cache plugin. The link expiry only happens when download key expires or server serves an old cached page.
For login redirection, you will have to use [download_link] tag in your link/page template, instead of <a href="[download_url]">[link_label]</a> and you can setup the login required message from wpdm settings page.
A user notified me that she received an expired link notice the first time she tried to download from the link in the email. This happened on all the packages she tried. I changed the lock option to download directly from the page, and she tried again, but still received expired link notices. I tried the same links and they worked for me. There is clearly an issue that needs resolving. Could it be a problem caused by my web host provider? They have some security measures in place that restrict access from certain countries. Could that be what´s causing it?
Actually, download limits are working fine. But, when you download the same item repeated in the same browser session, it counts as one. So, if you click on download link repeatedly, it will stop count after the 1st time.
I tested it all the possible way, also I changed the download URL to avoid interruption from caching plugin. I found download links are working great. However, the download link sent to an email address will expire after it is used for 3 times to avoid sharing it publicly. But please let me know if you found the issue with any specific package.
