Occasionally, one of my packages is a link to an embedded video. When I do this, I want to change the “Download” button’s behavior so that it doesn’t link to a file, but instead just opens the package’s page so the embedded video can be viewed.
How can this be managed?
Here’s a screenshot of a video package where I would like to change the “Download” button to read “View Video”, for example, and the link behavior should do the same thing as clicking the title of the package.

in that case, you need to create a new link template linking title with download URL instead of the details page. Please follow the docs:
Templates

This seems to work okay, but the widget links are taking me to an info page for the documents. Can I bypass that and make the links instantly download the document/open it in browser?
Thank you
Actually, no limitation in code, no session or download link expiration as many many thousands users server GB size files without trouble. You said pause and resume multiple times and it works in that way, which indicates, it is an issue with servers’ PHP execution timeout. If you can’t resolve it from server support and also don’t want to get AWS, the alternative solution is, attaching files as URL from the same server.

If you want to change the label just use the Link Label option in package settings.

It is not possible to use Link Template in all downloads table. Yoy can use Directory add-on for this purpose. It show list of downloads in various ways and has link template support.
i have a problem with search bar. I have installed “Download Manager Pro” and “WPDM Directory Add On”.
I’ve create a page with this code:
[wpdm-archive category=”199″ cat_view=”extended” button_style=”primary” link_template=”58dc017308a92″ order_by=”date” order=”asc” items_per_page=”10″]
This work fine, show the subacategories and documents, and when i do a click in some subcategorie show the documents.
The problem is with the search bar. When i search te term “Acuerdo” the answer is “No download found!” but i have many documents with this word in the title and in the description.
Now when i do the same search but i change the field “Order by” to “View Count” then the search works fine.
Then if i search with the field “order by” in “Title” don’t work but in “View Count” works fine.
Don’t work: 1. Title, Publish Date, Last Updated.
Works fine: View Count, Download Count, Package Size,
Is it possible to customise the ‘Download’ link within wpdm-all-downloads.php ?
I’d like to use one of the ‘Link Templates’ if possible – e.g. – link-template-calltoaction3
Many Thanks

Create a separate support ticket if you have any other issue with the download manager.
Thanks.
I need to be able to share packages within a BBPress forum.
I can insert WPDM package shortcode into a BBPress topic but it only displays the shortcode in front end, not the link to the download package.
I am therefore having to create a post with the WPDM shortcode in and add a link to the post from within the topic thread.
Is there not a way to display the download package within a BBPress topic?
Sorry, Prime does not have this feature. This screenshot is taken from app appmarket theme. This addon
Linked products https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/linked-products/ add-on has similar features. You can check that out.
Yes, download count increased by 1 after my download. So, everything is okay there.
The first green button is single file download link. If you have multiple files each file can be downloaded using those links.
The last download link downloads the whole package. If you have multiple files those will be downloaded as a single zip file. If you want you can disable single file download link from package settings.
1. You can edit the ‘Download‘ text from package settings page. This text comes from Download Label option.

2. When your use this shortcode [wpdm_package id='7623'] it uses Link Template from your package settings to show the output. You can use a custom link template to make a customized output ( eg. remove the download button ). Build you custom link template from Downloads Templates page. Here you will find docs about custom link template https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/creating-a-new-template/

Send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply if you need any help in creating a new template.
Download working fine in my test, 1) when lazy download is disabled, 2) lazy
1) when lazy download is disabled. Downloads as usual.
2) lazy download is enabled, download works after waiting time.
Your issues might be related to browser settings. If your browser blocks popup link, download won’t work. You will see a popup blocked notification like following screenshot.

Try downloading as another user. Multiple downloads are counted as one when done by the same user or from the same IP. Send me the page link to check.

Hi!
I use WPDM Pro with the add-on Page Template in a site using Rockettheme Remnant as the design theme. I have downloaded and activated the add-on Page Template and get the dropdown menu to pick page template from, but it only shows Default Page Template as the only option. I can in the tabs for the package see several others and in the settings page I can also see several others and create clones etc. Picking a Link template for a package works. That changes for instance the widget link presentation format. But changing the Page template under the tabs for the package does not change anything. And picking anything else than Default page from the dropdown in the right column isn’t possible, since the Default Page is the only option there.
Please help out. I can’t seem to find any solution through the forum posts.
Kind regards
Michael
ok, now download link from waiting page will open in new tab after timer expires
License error problem has been resolved.
However, The link to the download file has expired.
The “file not found” message is displayed.
Please tell me how to repair.
Extremely sorry for the confusion, our operator accidentally linked another user id, however, we adjust added the developer license with your account.
You can get it now from here:
https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/purchases/
Again, very sorry for the unexpected troubles.
The link templates aren’t working, or I am doing something wrong. Please advise. Settings are all as default so download for Package URL Base and downloads for Category URL Base. Have created category called profile, which can be access by downloads/profile and contains one package but is is basic display that doesn’t match style selected in front end. I’m assuming that this page should look like the templates in: https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/ready-to-use-templates/
