You can’t change the text of single file download button. If you don’t want single file download link, just remove [file_list]
tag from your page/link template.
There is an addon ( File Cart ) which allows downloading selected files as from different/same package(s) as a single zip.
Fixed the demo link. Also added image in doc.
Aha! Thank you, now it is finally clear. You should put that image in the documentation, at least it has not been obvious to me before.
But to me this is backwards…, if I could re-design this I would like the “big button” DOWNLOAD to represent “download this file” (=single or package =everything), because to me uploading a single file is the most normal case.
And there would not be any text-link at all, if that file is a single and not a package.
Only if that (“single”) file is actually a package of several files, then below it would be a list of simple text-links Download single file for each single file in that package-file, if someone for some reason want to download just one of those files contained in the package. Or, there could be boxes to tick next to each file in that package, “tick the single files you want from the packages, then hit download single files, if you do not want the whole package”.
The “big button” would still represent download this “single” file (with several files in it). Because if I do a package with several files, that would be becasue I want people to download them all at once, with one big button.
Just downloading part of my package would be an exception and not the normal case.
But that is just how I would like it to be, I guess other people use this feature in many other ways.

By the way, on this doc-page: under “Single File download” the two demo-links are 404 Not found.
Package Settings
Hi,
Last download link downloads the whole package where green buttons download each file. You will see the difference when you have multiple files in a package.
If you want you can remove the last download button using custom link/page template. Just remove the [download_link]
tag from there.

If I check “Must Agree with Terms” it doesn’t seem to affect my ability to download at all. Also, I don’t see any handling for terms_lock in the DownloadLink() function. Did the handling get left out, or is there something I’m supposed to do besides click the terms lock checkbox and fill out the form?

After updating WP Download Manager Pro to version 4.66 the entire plugin was deleted and then I had manually upload the zip file to reinstall.
However now the issue is that download links are no longer being sent via email using Download Link Extended. It just says “Processing.”
How do I fix this?
Thanks.
The download will work if you set the option to Download instantly in email lock settings. The issue is related to sending the email link.
Please send me the php error log so I can check the possible reason behind this error. Or send FTP info.
It may also be coming from another plugin. It is okay if I disable other plugins for testing purpose?
You need to create a new link template without download count, please follow the docs here:
Templates
Can I somehow manually change the HTML code of the default template so that I get a download link?
Kind regards

Hi!
Thanks for a quick reply! A funny thing is that Rockettheme gives no help to get third party plugins to work with Gantry 5… they claim that it is your plugin that isn’t working with Gantry 5 framework.
I have experimented with all the available page templates for each individual package, but the change never sticks. The presented page when clicking on the package header in the front end always result in a default page view without a download button or link to click to download the package.
It will depend on your theme, nothing to do with wpdm. But you can change wpdm link and template from package settings. Docs:
Templates
If you are talking about the text on link/page template, they are not translatable. But you can change those texts editing link/page template ( Admin Menu Downloads Templates )

Hi!
I am using a Rockettheme template (Remnant) that uses the Gantry 5 framework. I have installed WPDM and needed add-ons to pick page and link templates and download buttons. Everything work just fine except for the choosing of a page template. I can pick different link templates and they change accordingly, but the page template only allows for the Default template to be chosen.
I have WPDM on another site which uses Gantry 4, and there it works just fine.
I get a javascript-error in the browser console, which tells me that Download Manager lacks the file bootstrap-chosen.css.map in the catalog download-manager/assets/css/.
Please help me, since this is really crippling my site at the moment.
Kind regards
Michael
I have the same problem in the single download page. When I click on the download link, the popup module is partially hidden and you can not make it appear completely.
If you want to revoke access you just have to remove the role from access field and associated categories. No other action is required. However, if you found any package where an unauthorized user can download it, please give me the link and temporary wp-admin login info in a private reply to check the issue.
In that case, please only edit the link template, replace [download_link_popup]
with [download_link_extended]
This is the template I”m using to display that list of links:
<div class="well c2a1">
<div class="media">
<div class="media-body">
<h3 class="media-heading" style="padding-top: 0px;border:0px;margin: 0 0 5px 0;font-size:12pt;font-weight:700">[popup_link] </h3>
<span style="float:left;padding-right:10px;"><a href="[page_url]" data-title="[title]" class="wpdm-popup-link" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#wpdm-popup-link">[icon]</a></span>[excerpt_300]
</div>
</div>
</div>
<style>.well.c2a1 .btn.wpdm-download-link{ padding: 11px 30px;font-size: 11pt; } .well.c2a1 .media-body{ font-size: 11pt; }</style>
If you install premium package plugin and set a price for that package, you will see buy link there instead of download.
Premium Package – WordPress Digital Store Solution
Example:
https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/package-list-in-responsive-table/
I just create a new link template named “File List” and used it with shortcode, please check at Admin Menu Downloads Templates Link Templates tab
Please create a link template only using template tag [download_link]
, and now where you want to place buy now button, use shortcode [wpdm_package id="product-id" template="the-new-template-id"]
.

Hi i just updated WPDM Pro and the whole plugin stopped working… (Clicked on the link in admin – plugins)
In License key page it just was a “0”. All download links gone, and so on.
Could it be related to that our license probably is expiring this week? But as usual I do not see how to pay for another year?? I have not recieved any billing email and I can´t find any payment info/page on this site…? Should I buy a new license like I never been a client before?? Or is there any discount if we continue for another year like many other plugins have?
I am happy to have done a backup before update, so I could go back easy. Now I will wait for some days before I try to update again…
So it appears that I must turn off single file download option in the global settings to get the agree to terms working on the category and file specific pages.
Now, the problem still persists that users can download the file directly from the table that shows all of the documents without agreeing to the terms. The download link is simply present in the table.
What next?
Please help.
p.s. I hope this thread is helping others who are waiting for support on this.
