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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Hi, my users are still reporting problems downloading and expired links notices. I have had people unsubscribe from my list due to this issue. This is very bad for my business, as I offer a lot of downloadable material! PLEASE can you look into this issue ASAP and ensure that it really is fixed! People are reporting this problem in Chrome now too.
I have created a template and use the the following tag: [download_link], but when you click to download it opens in in the same window rather than a new window. How do i change this?
