Thank you. The bucket explorer looks better, and I can now create buckets and folders.
However, the Edit->Files page accessible from Downloads->All Files seems broken still. If I try to upload a file to a bucket/folder from within Edit->Files for an example download, the file gets put into an unnamed folder in my S3 bucket that is not visible afterwards from Edit->Files. I can see it in the S3 console, but not within WPDM. I’m not sure how Upload Files is supposed to work. It allows me to pick a file to upload FROM my computer, but doesn’t seem to allow a choice of folder in the bucket to upload TO.
I can successfully link to a file that already exists in an S3 folder, however, its direct download link is broken. For example, in Downloads->All Files, I have created a dummy text file to download called CentOS7-TEST, which is linked to a file called CentOS7.rtf in my TestBucket. Clicking the DIrect Download icon for this file generates:
<Error>
<Code>SignatureDoesNotMatch</Code>
<Message>
The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided. Check your key and signing method.
</Message>
Even though the access and secret keys provided seem to work for other operations.
We are currently trying to debug whether this is an S3 permissions issue of some sort, but that seems unlikely given that bucket and folder creation work, and the console would seem to indicate that read/write permissions are correct for the access key provided. If I can’t get the direct download functionality working I may have to abandon this plugin for my needs.

I have just shown one example of showing downloads. You can also use link templates too. Link Template gives you the power of controlling the frontend view of Downloads.
Install TinyMCE addon, you will find an easy way to use many shortcodes there.
Yes, it is possible to hide the table when the user is not logged in. You have to edit /download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php file.
Add following line at the top of the file,
if(is_user_logged_in()):
And this line at the bottom <?php endif; ?>

No sure if I’ve got this right – on the link template page, my new button shows fine. On the file Details page though, my new button replaces the old ‘Download’ text link, but the green ‘DOWNLOAD’ button is still present above, so it looks confusing, particularly as they are both the same in function.
Am I missing something?
Hi,
Yes, you are right. That is the template file ( /tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php ) used for the responsive table.
You can remove the count and details page link from the title by editing this template. You should create your own template and make chnages there. Otherwise, your changes will be lost after plugin update.
Thanks.

On my downloads pages I’ve put a link to the author’s profile. However the url always returns: /author/test. Could you assist me in figuring out why this is happening? Here is an example package: https://dev.jachall.com/download/main-package/ when you click on the author’s name: Test Person it goes to the /author/test url which is blank.
Please check the category settings of the packages with an open download link. Maybe category access set to ‘All Visitors‘ for one of the categories assigned to those packages.
You have to keep all roles uncheck in category settings.

Please use the following addon to create image button:
WPDM Image Button
Please use the following add-on to generate shortcodes:
Advanced TinyMCE button
To use Panel 1/3 link template, you simply need to select that template from dropdown before inserting shortcode.
Yes,
You need to create a new link template with following code:
<a href="[page_url]">[thumb_400x300]</a>
Then use the link template ID with shortcode
In every update, we are adding new link templates with new styles, also trying to make template building process easier. But still there will require some basic html/css knowledge to build a new link template.
In Email Download Link, in the Default template, i add the logo of my site, but when is sending the img tag is ![]()
, the src parameter is deleted.
How do I centre an image and/or button in a template where the image is above the link text or button?
How do I get my links to display as they do on the demo site for template Panel 1/3 and on the new downloads on the home page?
What is the easiest way to display only an image without any buttons or text. Can I use the featured image of the custom posts in a post carousel for example.
Will you be adding functionality to make the templates easier to work with without CSS knowledge? The functionality is great but getting it to look great is challenging.
My url is innerpeaks.org. I am using the Beaver Builder child theme.
Thanks,
Andrew
Hi,
You files have to be stored in your server when serving a multi-file download as a zip file. Download Manager can’t compress files from another server. In this case, your option is serving single file download and remove the package download button ( [download_link] tag from link/page template ).
Thanks.
You can control the view of search result from Downloads Settings Frontend Category Page Options panel. If you want to hide description then use a link template which doesn’t have description template tag.

Thanks for the reply.. .I just need the links to present to users as download options….
for example
“in this page you can download documentA_packageA.pdf or find more information in documentA_packageB.pdf….
For the presentations see documentB_packageA.pdf”
I managed to achieve something like that by creating a page template that shows all the files and use copy link location for each file needed.. I assume this can cause issues in case of logins though..

George
Add following CSS in the link template you are using there. If it is a custom link template you know where to add the code. If it is a core template then clone it first.
You can do it from Downloads Templates page.
<style>.centre-block > img {height: 300px; }</style>
This code makes your images same height which makes all panels same height.
To make login required message more simple, go to Downloads Settings Basic Messages and edit the login required the message.
On our home page we have a login section that includes a “lost my password” link box. http://www.rhinoapplicators.com/
When the Download Manager is active, the “lost my password” link sends customers to this page that does not provide the standard functionality for password recovery: http://www.rhinoapplicators.com/home/?action=lostpassword
When deactivated the link goes to the standard password recovery spot.
Is this something you have a fix for?
No, i mean something else.
Every individual file should have two buttons. Preview (for loading the image in a lightbox overlay) and a download-button.
When I uncheck the setting ‘Try to Open in Browser instead of download when someone clicks on download link’, the download-button works fine, but I can’t get the image in a lightbox overlay, because it appears that the ‘download-setting’ overrides it.
I’ve attached a screenshot to clarify it.
Can i personalice the Email, in Email Download Link- Form Lock
When i try to used, the page respond Error 500, in console log.
The function: Email Download Link , doesn’t work

Good afternoon,
I am using the NEXT theme in addition to my Download Manager Pro, and I noticed an issue with the way the menu handles submenus.
https://lead.victorylifechurch.com/
In the link above, when you try and click on the “Resources” Top-level menu item, it doesn’t go anywhere even though the menu item is a link to https://lead.victorylifechurch.com/resources/
Is it because it has a sub-menu that it does this? Is there any way to disable that feature?
I’ve just had chance to get back onto this project and try your fixes. The option for [download_link-popup] styles the popup well, but hides it behind the CSS layer which is no good.
The option for [download_link_extended] shows the popup permanently on the page which is not acceptable to the client.
Can you see the first attachment I have sent and check the site to see why the popup is going behind the CSS layer. I have tried to amend the Z index within the CSS but it isn’t working.
I also attach another screen shot where I have added .modal-backdrop{display:none} into the code. This removes the faded layer from in front so that the popup can be accessed/clicked. It still doesn’t bring it to the top layer though which isn’t right as the site is still scrollable behind, but it’s the only way that I can get the popup to be clickable.
I’ve also tried putting the z index for the header down to 0 – this works for the popup but pushes the header behind everything else; even if you put 0 values against all sections of the template.
Okay, I think you just want to show the download button. You can do that by inserting shortcode with button link template.
Install TinyMCE Button addon, then use it to insert shortcode wherever you want. Select Button link template from the drop-down to show only download button.
Send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply if you want me to set up an example on your site.
