In that case, you may use this view:
https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-compact/
Shortcode:
[wpdm-archive button_style="inverse" link_template="link-template-panel-1-3" order_by="post_title" order="asc" items_per_page="10" cat_view="compact"]
I put the userdashboard in a page apart from the downloads and so when I navigate in the userdashboard and I click on “my download” all links after no longer works. It brings me to a detail page of a download.
can you help me
Update:
We did a mistake by importing, we used the dsownloadmanager import not the wordpress import function.
But if we import the file with all downloadmanager files I have a few questions about problems which could harm new installation:
- when we import files, what whappens to the downloadmanager ids? What happens when a ID is existing for another page type in the new installation? Or are the downloadmanager ids different to the wordpress core ids?
- what else do we have to move? all .pdfs which are connected to the downloads, but –> do we have to update any permalinks or something else like this?
Maybe you could write us a “roadmap” how to move existing files to the new installation.
Thanks for your help Marc
Support, you already have a page, where you need to add a download button, so, here what you need to do:
- Go to Admin Menu Downloads Add New
- Add title, description, upload file and publish
- Now, go to Admin Menu Pages
- Click on the page title where you need to add download link
- Click on the blue button:

- Click on the file title and it will insert the shortcode in the page
- finally, Update the page.
But when you only have a few files to download, the quickest way is using Quick add option with TinyMCE button:

But, when you have lots of files with different categories to download, you need to create all categories and add all files from Admin Menu Downloads
After you are done with adding all categories and files, now you can use category shortcode or file shortcode in page content to share your files or you can link categories or files directly with your menus from menu manager here Admin Menu Appearance Menus.
BTW, the process in Add New File and Add New Package are almost same.
Sorry, you can’t filter the tree view by tags, but you can do that using category. You can create sub-groups tree view using parent category.
Ex:
[wpdm_tree category=”all-documents” download_link=1], where “All Documents” should the parent category.
Hi! Thanks for the response. those square boxes are the files I uploaded into the download manager and categorized. I’ll review and follow the instructions you provided and see where I end up. One thing I do not understand is where to add the short code. Do I create a new page in my site and place the short code in it?
As I dig further, do I need to create a page for each category, and then use the short code to manually add the download link every time I upload a new file?
Or is there a better way to automatically generate a page that looks like your demo pages with all the categories all nicely laid out? If not, does this mean I would create a page and simply add the short code ids for all the desired downloads I want to make public?
I also need to add I’m using the free version, not the pro version, which has add new file, not “add new package”
Thanks!
It is because, the view mostly depends on your active theme. You only can select a link template or show some package info, you can configure it from Admin Menu Downloads Settings Frontend tab Category Page Options panel
Seems like, to solve your biggest problem, it will require creating custom theme template, explained here:
Template Files
Hmm… we might be able to use that method I suppose. It would be nice if there was a way to regenerate that key automatically on a daily basis or something so that we don’t have to remember to reset it all the time.
We need a way to track the downloads and a way to revoke access when they stop being a customer. The “multiple passwords” option is almost what we need, but we can’t tell which password was used for each download in the log, so there’s no way to know who it was. Is there any way to create download links that are one-use-only?
Hi,
Is there some documentation on setting up the view when a user clicks on a category? The documentation is not very detailed.
I want my category page to look the ‘new downloads’ section on the demo. I also want the side bar to be visible.
Currently the biggest problem I have is that the link template is shown but also the text, heading and featured image. Can I hide these?
Thanks for your help.

Actually, to edit such code, you will need good experience with PHP coding, and there it is a template tag, not short-code, template tag need to be placed in link or page template ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/ )
Don’t know what happened but the download links seemed to have fixed themselves
Thanks but why did it happen and will it happen again on the next update
and my download links are wrong. They all show a “button” with the word “download” and a “play” icon (as in play a video) when they used to show either the link label I put in the package or just the word “download” as a link when there was no link label.in the package
WPDM link/page template doesn’t support php code.
Yes, you can use the following filter to introduce new template tags:
wdm_before_fetch_template
Clone Link Template Panel 1/3 ( From Downloads Templates admin page ) and then set parent div class to col-md-6. Use this custom link template when inserting archive shortcode. Your packages will show in 2 columns now.
Yes, you can remove the details page link. Use a different link template than what you are using now.
Following link templates doesn’t have the link,
1. Default Template
2. Default Template Extended
3. Default Template with download count
use TinyMCE addon to insert shortcode, you will have the option to select link template.
There are two ways of showing a download/package.
1. Link template ( using shortcode ) – There are multiple link templates available. Each one has its own layout. Use TinyMCE addon to insert shortcode, you will find the option there to select the link template.
2. Page Template – This is the details page for the package/download. You see this page when previewing the package. You can set this details page url in your link template. Clicking on the title ( in link template ) brings the user to the details page.
Hello,
1. I have a question why only one package appears on the homepage of the ‘NEW DOWNLOADS’ section? There is no ‘TABBED’ section too. I have turned off the SLIDERS section, but it did not affect the problem with the rest of the sections.
2. Is it possible to add the Top Downloads section on the homepage?
3. Translations of this phrases are not visible on the site admin panel:
– If you like, you may enter custom structures for your wpdm category and package URLs here. For example, using “<b>packages</b>” as your category base would make your category links like http://example.org/<b>packages</b>/category-slug/. If you leave these blank the defaults will be used.
– Rename New File
– Publish Instantly
Okay, that’s good to know. It does look like some things have changed, and I am curious if we can fix.
We have the files on this site linked out to all our other websites and when the link is clicked (on the other sites) they should be providing a direct download for our customers.
As of now they are linking to the page on this rhino applicators site: http://www.rhinoapplicators.com/download/acid-stain-tds/?wpdmdl=3625
Is there a way to get them to be direct downloads again?
Yes, you can create your own page/link template ( From Downloads Templates Page ) using available template tags and your own design. Please read more about custom template here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/creating-a-new-template/
Hi,
You can create a custom link template to change the outlook of the pacakge shortcode. I have created a simple custom template there, please check it it works for you. You can create your own from Downloads Templates page.

Okay, got the issue, it is working fine for guest downloads too. However, any user can link their purchase with their account simply entering guest order id purchase page:

Hi,
When packages in the table are filtered using category page reload event occurs and loads a different URL ( adds category info in URL ). Shouldn’t these two events enough to provide the user a sense that back button will bring all packages back?
However, if you want you can make your own template for All Packages table and add following code to create a Back to all packages button,
<?php if(isset($_GET['wpdmc'])): ?> <a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>">All Downloads</a> <?php endif; ?>
Thanks.
The link you shared uses Crypton’s default look. Your package page should look like that by default if you are using Crypton. You need this add-on to show image buttons https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-image-button/
Please send me the url to check.
