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.
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.
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 )
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.

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?
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.)
I’m coming back with another issue.
The download is working on desktop, but we’ve problems with mobile.
Clicking on the download link nothing happen.
I cannot access to the download page (I’ve enabled the single download option).
1. Do you know of a way to use WPDMP to allow a user on an iOS device to click the download button and load an .ipa file? It has to load, not just download and Apple has a specific method for using a .plist file to call to the .ipa file when it’s outside the app store. If you’re unfamiliar with this, then let me know and I’ll send you the documentation.
If it isn’t inherent in the functionality, then please provide a quote for a custom option to make it work.
If that isn’t possible, then:
2. Can we have the download button link to the package page, just like it works on your own ADD ONS page for WPDM for iOS. If all the download buttons need to link to the package page, then that’s fine.
I’m working on a site with well over a thousand documents, many of which will be grouped in packages. Is there any way to add the Download Link to the list of attachments?
I’m using the [premium_file_list] tag in the template and what I’d like included besides the “download” button is a link from [wpdm-download-link]. When they click on the link, they’d be able to see all the details, preview images, etc. of the individual file within the document. Does that make sense? (I already have it set to allow for individual file downloads.)
I hope this problem will be resolved and more attention will be paid by the developers of this plugin to captcha functionality including the following:
-captcha lock compatibility with all link templates and page templates provided with the pro version of the plugin
-new invisible captcha functionality to be integrated, as with the new Google reCaptcha technology allows invisible captcha
Use custom link/page template to hide unnecessary data. Clone any template from Downloads Templates page and edit on top of it. Then set your custom template in package settings option in edit package page.
