In that case, use a template that has the [download_link_extended] template tag. The built-in “Single Column, Image Top, Extended” page template includes this tag.
If you are using a custom template then just replace [download_link] tag with [download_link_extended]. This tag embeds the form in the page.
You can show only single captcha in a page when using the embedded lock ( shows the reCAPTCHA without clicking any button ). Use the popup lock if you want more than one captcha in a single page.
Embedded reCAPTCHA comes from [download_link_extended]. You have to use a link template with [download_link] template tag which shows the lock in a popup/iframe. The reCAPTCHA lock appears after clicking the download button in this case.
You can copy the template code from the tutorial and edit on top of it. Link and Page templates use template tags to show various package info. Template tags are listed in the template editor sidebar. You can check the tag list here too https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/template-tags/
Use the following code in your template to show the package title with a link to the details page,
When using the email lock and the Call to Action template the popup for download stays on screen so long that it seems something is wrong and clicking the button multiple times gives multiple emails with links. Preferably the pop-up would close after submit.
I’m curious how you achieved the links to download detail pages on the demo site; https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/ – particularly on the home page for the “New” and “Popular” downloads. The items listed there show a “more” button, and along with the main item link they go straight to the download detail page.
Is there a particular link template to do this? Or is there shortcode to force the user to go to the download item details page, vs. a direct instant download?
Thank you in advance for any tips and advice you can provide!

Using https://www.drlinkcheck.com/ to scan our site we found that there are a number of links from within the Download Manager plugin which are broken. Looks like they are missing from the package.
To name some:
/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/assets/file-type-icons/dmg.svg
/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/assets/file-type-icons/gz.svg
/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/assets/file-type-icons/bz2.svg
/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/assets/file-type-icons/msi.svg
I’m quite sure I have already reported the last one over a year ago, picked up by Ryte free scan. The broken links hurts page ranks from what I can tell, fixing them should be quite important.
Please replace the_permalink(); with echo get_the_permalink($file->ID); at line 59 in /wpdm-custom-access-level/wpdm-my-downloads.php file. Or send login info in private reply. I will make the change for you.
After creating a pacakge you can access it from package details like any regular WordPress posts. You can also use the shortcode to show the package anywhere you want. The view of shortcode is controlled by link template. There are lots of built-in templates. And you can build your own custom template too.
When I go to Dashboard > My Download > Click on package, it goes to “https://partner.octopi.com/user-dashboard/”. Need help so the link takes the visitors to the package page and not to the mentioned URL.
You have to add an extra class to control the size. For example, adding btn-lg class will make the button larger. Or you can just add inline CSS there.
For now, You can enable instant download. That will show a download button when the user submits the email. No way yet to hide the form when using the “Email Download Link” option.
Call to action link templates includes custom CSS that makes the button large. Your cloned template included those styles as you clone the CTA 3 template. I have removed the custom CSS from there, now download button size is working as it should.
we have a little problem in the frontend .. nothing is displayed …
I just updated to 4.9
this was the shortcode before and now it doesn´t work anymore 🙁 [wpdm-archive category=”58″ cat_view=”extended” button_style=”default” link_template=”57ab402772683″ order_by=”post_title” order=”asc” items_per_page=”10″]
You can modify the download button style from Settings User Interface Tab. If you want to use just links instead of buttons then set ‘None’ as button style.
I am using the script below and I would like to know if it is possible to insert in the same row multiple versions of the same file divided by languages
Somewhere between 4.7.8 in and 4.9 the code output when using [wpdm_all_packages] changed forcing us to use a “button” style for the download link.
Where in the plugin can I find and change the code for this?
I would also like to make the “title” a link but want it to use my themes styling and not yours. (before my download link and other links like category on this page maintained my default link styles.
I apologize but I have been looking through documentation and searching YouTube for help on setting this up. I was using Buddy Docs but its not secure at all. My favorite feature of Buddy Docs was having Docs in each Buddypress Group. I know you don’ support that but I am willing to leave all that behind to just have a solid File/Download/Document Management system that my users can upload and download from but I don’t know how to set it up.
I paid the $200 for the pro all-ons pack and I really don’t know how to get a Link on my website called Files and then show all Categories (you have access) to and files in each category. Then how do you add an upload ability and select which category that upload goes to and select who can see it?
I’m sure you have it somewhere but I’m really just not comprehending and I apologize for such a stupid request for help but I’m just struggling and could use some dummy guide (step by step).
I’m not using WPDM templates tags. I have a custom theme, with custom PHP files. One of my php file is using the WP default loop to loop and display all the downloads.
Right now, I was using `$data[‘download_link’] = \WPDM\Package::downloadLink($data[‘ID’], 0, array(
‘template_type’ ► ‘link’
));` to display the download button.
Now, I would like to :
Add the cart
Add the “+” button to add files to the cart, as I explained earlier in this thread
Which function should I use ? Do I have to do something regarding the JS to add file in cart ?
Thank you in advance,
Cedric
PS : I notice that the “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” is not working.
To remove the download option just remove the [download_link] or [download_link_extended] template tag from your page/link template. You can clone the existing Doc Preview template. Let me know if you need help with the custom template. You can send login info in private reply in that case.
