You are using an old version of Download Manager. Installing updated version should fix the email address issue. Please install the latest version. You can download it here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/purchases/ Let me know if updating doesn’t fix the issue.
Download Notification email sends user’s name when you email lock the package. It worked in my test.
Over the past few weeks, I have had over 20 customers call me and send me emails explaining to me that they are unable to download the .zip files after they enter the password on our website. After they enter the password, click submit, then click Download, my customers get a “link-expired.txt” file. Can anybody explain why?
Just put WPDM 4.7.0 Pro on a standard, default WP install (4.8.2). The downloaded file could be directly from the root of the website like “licencse.txt” from the WP installation. I tested on default configuration with no changes made in the WPDM plugin settings other then pasting reCAPTCHA Site Key and reCAPTCHA Secret Key. I created a new package named “test” and for testing purposes I added “lincese.txt” file to it from the site root and I selected “Single Column, Image Top, Extended” for page template.
Result: right after captcha is solved a new download window pops-up with the “link-expired.txt”
I shifted many environment variables [target file, browser, browser caching, package name various plugin download options] Nothing works.
On some page templates like “Metro Style” the captcha opens in a pop-up. That captcha is not usable. Erorr: reCaptcha service can not be accessed… So please make sure that the captcha lock module is working and also make a simple check of captcha with each link template and page template.
-until now, I achieved the same result on 2 separate hosting environments (both using cPanel on linux)
-the issue is not related with output buffering or resumable downloads options
-the links can be normally downloaded and are valid if the captcha lock is not used, conclusion being that the captcha lock module does not get valid links from the plugin core
-I can not find the previous version, WPDM 4.6.9 Pro to download and test. Please send it to me If you can. Downgrading might be the best solution for me at this point.
We didn’t change anything around captcha lock option is the latest version.
Yes, the download starts automatically after solving the captcha to save the extra effort of another click for your users. However, your suggestion is noted.
Please give me an example where captcha lock is not working
Download link only will expire after it is used for 3 times, however, in v4.7.0 you can change the limit from wpdm settings page.
However, please give me an example URL where you facing the problem and temporary wp-admin login info in a private reply.
One of the main reasons for which I purchased this plugin is its potential ability to combine expiring links with captcha security witch is almost mandatory these days anyways. Unfortunately I experience a whole range of problems with this plugin when I enable captcha security:
-automatically starting the download after captcha is solved (no option to disable this)
-multi-file downloads and many page layouts do not work well or at all with captcha lock enabled
-automatically download expired links after solving captcha challenge
I am trying to use the WPDMP to give users access to iOS apps for beta testing (yes I have a developer license). The files are not in the app store and we have to use a specific URL structure to link to a .plist file which then provide the download link to our .ipa file.
1. Is there a way you can make it so that the DOWNLOAD BUTTON would read the .plist file and in turn download the .ipa file?
if not
2. Can you give us a custom file listing page that doesn’t have download buttons and we’ll link all file to a link in the page content?
If you can quote me a price for doing one or both of the options above, I would appreciate it.
Yes, actually you are seeing the correct details page https://oni-online.com.au/download/blossom/ , in the forum it just showing a oEmbed snapshop from the link. “Download Me” button changes.
Yes, if you want to use wpdm page templates, you need to select “Use Page Template”:
If you want to show a photo in any specific page you may use package shortcode, but there are category page ( https://oni-online.com.au/download-category/html-css/ ) to show the list or category shortcode to show mutiple packages using single shortcode. Also we have another add-ons to show packages with all categories and search option:
Custom will be able to download their items from here: https://oni-online.com.au/user-dashboard/ ( They also will get an email with their download page url )
Also a download button will apear in product page after they complete the purchase of it.
BTW, you can remove or edit all sample packages and categories.
I have purchased the Pro Download Manager and also the Advanced Access extension. I am trying to run it alongside the Google Drive add-on that is recommended.
I’ve set up a test file and everything works well but if I provide the /download link to a user – the user logs in on my site, is shown the file link but when the user clicks it they are sent to log in to their Google Drive account to validate again. I’ve followed the Google API setup instructions very closely but it’s fairly critical that I get rid of this 2nd Google login stage for the users who will recieve the links.
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.
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.
